Pete admitted that he didn't know how he would react if he was forced to enlist in the way that many Ukrainian men have. It's been reported that President Volodymyr Zelensky has banned men between the ages of 18 to 60 from leaving the country to make up civilian reserves.

"I don't know how I'd feel if I got held back to fight the war," Pete mused. "Because what do you do? You can't go: 'No, I'm going,' but by the same token, do I really want to be getting shot at and potentially killed? What's more valuable to me?"
Sophie tearfully responded: "I'm choking up even thinking about that. Because I would just stay with you."

Pete then attempted to console her by insisting that he wouldn't let her stay behind with him. She wiped away her tears as she admitted that even imagining the situation was "scary".
Fans were touched by the duo's moving words and took to social media to discuss. One said: "Pete and Sophie have me sobbing. That sibling bond they have is so strong."
