“But I want to thank my sis for sending this. Love you mum and dad so so so much. More than they will ever know.”
Continuing, Peter said that he speaks to his parents “every single day, sometimes twice.”
He added: “I tell them enough how much they mean to me ( if it’s ever enough ).
“Thank god for FaceTime. Going to see them and I cannot wait. Να ζήσεις dad.”
One person commented: “Sending so much love xxx.”
Another added: “Your mum and dad are such wonderful people. Watched them through all your shows. Your dad looks amazing for 93..lots of love to them.”
Last December, Peter shared a heartbreaking update on Thea’s condition, saying he worried Christmas 2025 would be her last.
He told OK! Magazine: “Of course I worry this could be Mum’s last Christmas.
“She’s very delicate. Her Parkinson’s has progressed quite a bit.
“Her speech is almost gone. She’ll say a word or two. It’s heartbreaking, because she’s our world, our pillar of strength.”
