Peter Andre

The steamy life and times of singer Peter Andre becoming newsworthy again is perhaps the most unexpected twist of fortunes the 21st century could have conjured.

Anyone (and we mean ANYONE) who remembers watching him wriggle around in the Aussie surf back in 1995 when Mysterious Girl earned him his first proper pop stripes was pretty sure the Peter Andre story would finish there.

But no. Thanks (by which we mean owing) to an appearance in the I’m A Celebrity jungle back in 2004, and a resulting marriage to his co-contestant Katie Price, Peter’s career has been reborn. Even a divorce and a recent saucy sex scandal that dislodged his saintly reputation can’t derail him as he sets off on tour with his new covers album Unconditional: Love Songs and prepares for a massive arena tour at the end of the year.

Proof, if it were needed, that life truly is stranger than fiction.

Apollo - March 11, 2010 - £24/£50.
