As he gears up to celebrate 30 years in showbiz, it feels only right that we mark this milestone by chatting to our longtime celebrity columnist, Peter Andre. He has been part of the team since we signed him up for an I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! column in 2005, a year after he appeared on the show. With Pete’s inside knowledge of the jungle, we reckoned he’d be the perfect person to give readers an insight into coping with life in the camp.
Needless to say, we loved working with him – so once the show ended, we decided to keep him on as a regular columnist. And the rest, as they say, is history. We’ve been through a lot with our pal Pete over the years.
We saw the star tie the knot for the first time and then the breakdown of that marriage, during which he confided in us every week as he came to terms with the split. Our readers offered him their unwavering support as he adapted to life as a single parent to his eldest children Junior, now 17, and Princess, 15. It wasn’t long before Pete was off the market, though, and we were so happy to witness him falling in love again – this time with Emily MacDonagh, who was then a 20-year-old medical student.
In unconventional circumstances, Pete met Emily, now 33, through her father, a doctor who operated on him to remove kidney stones. But after getting to know Ems, who is also now a doctor, Pete was smitten and the two are happily married and devoted parents to Amelia, eight, and five-year-old Theo. It’s been a privilege to have Pete’s column for the past 17 years and here, the 49-year-old reminisces over the highs and lows of his time with us, and reveals what his column means to him… Hi, Pete.
