Peter Andre reveals he’s landed role in Channel 5 drama – and is working on new album 30 years after Mysterious Girl
PETER Andre has revealed that he’s landed a leading role in an upcoming Channel 5 drama.
The long-time TV personality has announced that he is officially venturing into the world of acting.
Pete, 51, is known for his stint on I’m A Celebrity, his reality shows with ex-wife Katie Price, and his music career.
He has also starred in various high-profile productions of the smash-hit musical, Grease, as Teen Angel and Vince Fontain.
Now the presenter has announced that he’s taking his career in drama to the next level, as he’s signed on to star in a secret project for Channel 5.
The star told OK! Magazine: “I have got a part in a new Channel 5 drama as one of the lead characters, which I’m excited about.
“I can’t reveal the name of it just yet or give much away, but I start filming next month and can’t wait to get stuck in.”
He added: “Watch this space!”
But not drifting too far from the career that first shot him to superstardom, he also admitted that new music is on the way.
It has been almost 30 years since his smash-hit track, Mysterious Girl, hit the charts back in 1995.
The former reality star said that he previously thought about going back into the studio.
But now he admitted that dream has become a reality as he works on his 12th studio album.
“I’ve been talking about new music for so long but I’m happy to announce that I’m finally working on an album,” he told the outlet.
“Next year will be 30 years since the release of Mysterious Girl, so the album is to mark that milestone and will be followed by a tour.
“I’m really looking forward to it. I can’t believe it’s been 30 years.”
He also admitted that fans regularly get in touch as they still love the iconic track decades after the initial release.
