Peter Andre

Notable tracks "Behind Closed Doors" and "Unconditional" peaked at 4th and 50th respectively in the UK charts, with the album reaching No. 3.

Andre was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but is now lapsed.

During their marriage, Andre and Katie Price launched the Katie & Peter franchise on ITV2, which documented their life together.

Peter Andre (born Peter James Andrea, 27 February 1973) is a British singer and television personality.

Andre was born on 27 February 1973 in Harrow, London, to Greek Cypriot parents.

In 1979, as a six-year-old, Andre and his family relocated to Sydney, before settling on Australia's Gold Coast when he was nine.

At the age of 14, Andre finished runner-up to Wade Robson in a dancing competition where the prize was to meet Michael Jackson.

In 1989, 16-year-old Andre became a contestant on Australian talent show New Faces, and as a result, he was offered a recording contract for $146,000.

During this time, Andre lived in a beach-side apartment in Surfers Paradise and attended Benowa State High School on the Gold Coast.

Andre was sent to the UK to work with producers Phil Harding and Ian Curnow at PWL Studios, where he recorded his debut single "Drive Me Crazy", and his breakthrough hit, "Gimme Little Sign".

"He was brilliant," recalled Curnow of the sessions, while Harding remembered, "he was extremely enthusiastic and quite hard to control — but he was a good singer."

Andre achieved success in the mid-1990s as a singer, topping the UK Singles Chart with "Flava" and "I Feel You" in 1996.

In 1992, Andre released "Drive Me Crazy", which peaked at No. 72 on the Australian singles chart.

However, his musical breakthrough occurred with his second single, "Gimme Little Sign", which peaked at No. 3 and spent a total of 31 weeks in the charts.

In 1993, Andre received an ARIA Award for highest-selling Australian single of the year.

His second studio album was released on 30 September 1996, peaking at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart.

The album included the hit single "Mysterious Girl", which peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1996, but reached number 1 on re-release in 2004, following Andre's appearance in I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! As a result, Andre returned to the UK in the mid-1990s.

After featuring in the third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, Andre found renewed popularity and his 1995 hit "Mysterious Girl" reached number one upon a reissue.

The franchise included several fly-on-the-wall reality series which comprised When Jordan Met Peter, Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare and Jordan & Peter: Marriage and Mayhem (2004–05); Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter, Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries and Katie & Peter: Unleashed (2007); Katie & Peter: Down Under; and Katie & Peter: African Adventures (2008); and Katie & Peter: Stateside in 2009.

Andre began dating glamour model Katie Price after they met on reality series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in early 2004.

The couple got engaged secretly that May, but it was not announced publicly until months later.

They married on 10 September 2005 in Highclere Castle, Hampshire.

They have two children together: son Junior Savva, born on 13 June 2005; and daughter Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther, born on 29 June 2007.

While married to Price, Andre was stepfather to her son Harvey, from her earlier relationship with football player Dwight Yorke.

On 14 September 2009, Peter released his sixth studio album, Revelation.

Their 2009 separation resulted in their individual series being recorded: Peter Andre: The Next Chapter continued on ITV2 until 2011, followed by Peter Andre: Here 2 Help (2011) and Peter Andre: My Life (2011–13).

In July 2010, Andre and Jason Manford were team captains on the ITV series Odd One In.

In 2013, Andre was a guest judge on the ITV entertainment series Your Face Sounds Familiar, and later guest-presented five editions of Sunday Scoop on ITV.

Since 11 November that year, Andre has presented 60 Minute Makeover, which has been re-branded as Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover.

In 2014, Andre released the song "Kid" (for the film Mr. Peabody & Sherman) which was the lead single from his album Big Night.

On 8 October that same year, Andre co-hosted the ITVBe opener with Jamelia.

In 2014, Andre became the new face to feature in supermarket Iceland's television commercials.

Andre has since starred in the ITV weekly series Give a Pet a Home which works alongside the RSPCA in Birmingham.

He has continued his career in music and television, notably competing in the thirteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing (2015) and starring in the Katie & Peter TV franchise (2004–2009) with his then-wife Katie Price, whom he met when both partook in I'm a Celebrity.

In August 2015, he was announced as a contestant for the thirteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing which began a month later and in which he was partnered with Janette Manrara.

They went out just before the quarter-final, in week 10, and therefore finished in seventh place.

In 2018, Andre voiced Ace the race car in the Thomas & Friends production ''Big World!

Big Adventures'' and in the show 24th season in 2020.

In December 2023, Andre joined the news channel GBNews.

He began presenting the weekend show alongside Ellie Costello and is set to co-host the show throughout December.
