Peter Andre in rare bust-up with Molly-Mae Hague after she called Italian food ‘shocking’
PETER Andre has taken on Molly-Mae Hague – rubbishing her claims that food in Italy is “shocking”.
The 46-year-old singer, a passionate foodie and cook, took issue with her slating of local cuisine when she even called the ice-cream “grim”.

“So controversial I know but I’ve been a lot of times now to different parts and I’ve tried a lot of different restaurants and I’m always so disappointed.
“It’s meant to be the home of pizza and pasta and I really can’t see how! Strange. Even this ice cream was grim.”
The 21-year-old ‘influencer’ later added: “I got recommended to go to these traditional Italian restaurants that are meant to serve the best pizza and pasta, and again, I just wasn’t impressed.”

He also insisted he had never had bad service in an Italian restaurant and defended the firm ‘al dente’ style of cooking pasta.
He wrote: “For me, Italian food is the best. I love the food in Venice and when I went to Rome the food was incredible.
“I love my pasta al dente and that’s exactly how it should be.”

He added: “I’d never name and shame, because it’s not nice.”
However, Peter was careful to add that he was a fan of hers saying: “I like Tommy and Molly-Mae so I don’t want any Fury!”
Molly, who showed off a new curly hairstyle on Instagram last night, shot to fame on Love Island alongside boyfriend Tommy.
They finished as runners-up to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea, who split soon after the show.
