Don’t like you’re PF call. Even 6 handed I don’t think those cards are that great.
You’re in a poor position and the pot has just been raised and re-reaised, I think this is an easy fold.

looking back at it that limp/reraise should have rang a bell 
although when turn came i was sure i'm ahead, i was thinking he might have AK maybe AA , but think u are right should have folded pf after he reraised me
he had AA one of them was spade

He flatcalled from UTG then re-raised, can you hear the alarm bells ringing?
From the way the rest of the hand played out he should have KK, JJ or possibly AQ
I'm gonna have to agree with muck and say that calling his reraise preflop has landed you in a heap of trouble from what looks like a fairly decent hand for you.
Everything else aside, i've got to say that i have lost more $ holding KT than any other hand, I now totally consider it a trap hand, sure it might look pretty enough, but there are sooooooooo many flops that can come that will land it in trouble.

First off I read the initial post wrong apologies, I though he called after 2 people raised. The results the same though, I don’t think I would have raised from the SB and I wouldn’t have called if someone came over the top.

Indeed, KT can just be such a tough one to play because you can’t play it with confidence, especially with a flop like this. You’re just overloaded with questions:
Am I out-kicked?
Am I facing trips?
Will a Ten really help my hand or make him a straight?
Will my Ten hold up as a flush?

Gotta agree with everyone else, I don't like the pre-flop raise. KT is not a great hand and should only be played from late position when you can open with a raise IMO.
Anytime you get some UTG limp/raising, you HAVE to think AA or KK. I don't think I've seen anyone make this play with anything less.

Forget the pre-flop play. You tried to steal. It didn't work. You called a big re-raise. Not great but not the end of the world.
After the flop I don't understand what is was you were trying to do. I can't put him on a hand he would call with that you are beating and he can't believe you have a made flush so he's not folding a better hand. You can't call an all-in if he comes over the top at you. And if you are trying to represent a set of Kings or Jacks it wouldn't work on me.
I reckon he's got QQ (one spade).
