Peter Andre tells Woman about his career goals, surgery and starring in a new reality show
Peter Andre may have burst on to the showbiz scene some 30 years ago thanks to his ab-tastic music videos, but these days the father of four has fingers in many pies. Recently, he’s filled in for Eamonn Holmes on GB News Breakfast. And with lots of changes across some of the biggest daytime TV shows, could Peter throw his hat into the presenting ring for a more permanent gig on the likes of This Morning?
‘It was definitely difficult to fit into Eamonn Holmes’ shoes! But it’s something I want to start doing more of,’ the star, 50, admits. ‘But I think they’ve got some great people on This Morning already who are brilliant – Dermot, Alison and Holly are great.’
Presenting ambitions aside, Peter is a very busy man.

Obviously, I had a nose job in the 90s because I didn’t like the lump on my nose, so I’m never against making changes. But I’ve not had any Botox for two years and actually everyone is saying they like how I use my facial expressions.
Sometimes I think you imagine people want to see you a certain way, but actually people just like you being you.
We’re glad to hear it. And how are things at home?
Everyone is great. They love it when Dad’s home, because Dad loves cooking. I’ve just done Cooking With the Stars, so they were enjoying me practising. Junior is 18 now, Princess has just turned 16 – God help us!
How does it feel to have an 18-year-old?
He’s such a good boy, I’m the luckiest guy alive. My son is so polite, respectful, and he works hard. He’s in the studio constantly writing and performing. My daughter [Princess]… l
