What are your thoughts on him?

When I was younger I thought he was the nicest guy, after seeing the Tik toks etc and thinking about it, I’m really not sure

Private schools vary massively. If you go to Elton or Marlborough (public schools), you are mixing with generally actually posh people.

If you go to an academically non selective basic private school, you’re mixing with just anyone who can afford to go there. And on top of that, you’ll gravitate culturally to other young people with parents like yours.

Lots of posh kids drop in glottal stops that would make their RP grannies weep, but they don’t go full on south London estate.

Didn’t William and Harry used to do it? And they grew up On a very different kind of estate.

Yes, but not to the extent that Jr does it. He sounds like the kids on the Estate I grew up on in Bermondsey. It’s ridiculous.

You never heard William be all, “Laaaaaaaaaaaaak, bruv” 🤣

@LuluLehman They used to do what?

Most private school kids do that. In fairness that's about the only thing I wouldn't pin on Peter Andre.

Read the original thread in classics from maybe, 10 years ago?? It's a belter

StopFidgeting · 21/03/2023 18:29

I was irrationally sad when he and Katie split up. But beyond that, I have no thoughts about the guy really. Did find him a bit annoying when I was 14 and he used to pop out of the water trying to look seductive! and I'd imagine his skinny legs beneath the surface :) I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke!

Yes, nasty little prick was so, so rude to the guy in the shop too.

If I was the shop owner I would have told him to leave (I know it’s TV etc etc but you know what I mean).

And throwing a tantrum (directed at KP) in public in the shop, stamping his feet like an angry 5 year old saying he wasn’t going to do it now and was going home.

A grown adult acting like that has serious issues and that’s not evening mentioning the way he was speaking to his wife, the gaslighting, the goading.

I was shocked, I am no Kp fan but you can see why she has serious insecurities and probably why she had so many surgeries.

Togoodtobeforgotten · 19/03/2023 19:41

Just watching the one when him and Kp are in La and they are in the shop waiting to hire out those wheeley things can't think of what they are called at the minute but the way he was with the guy doing the tricks and the way he spoke to Katie was disgusting.

Well, she was an adult. She was obviously very attracted to him. So what's the big deal?

her dad said Emily pursued Peter. she was a fan way before they got together. her father was Andre's doctor, i believe.

SomePeopleAreJustBloodyStupid · 19/03/2023 17:48

He can't sing, is very unattractive, is only famous for once being married to Katie Price. He seems to be a better role model as a parent than she is, though.

jizzlord · 09/03/2023 20:58

He loves his kids

You know him well then? Well enough to have long conversations about how much he loves his kids?

LampLamp · 19/03/2023 17:16

That coffee/safari clip is unhinged.

OnTheThames · 19/03/2023 17:12

He’s an insecure, manipulative creep.

No idea how he got that lovely young doctor to marry him. Bet she’ll kick him to the curb eventually.

Togoodtobeforgotten · 19/03/2023 17:11

I'm just watching the one where they went to La and Katie has a few operations, she's obviously not well and then he starts having a go at her sent her a text calling her a pycho but he tried turning it all round to make her look like it's her when it's not. She's also very skinny and even the doctor comments on how much weight she's lost it's almost like Katie is always trying to please Peter by getting all these ops.

UdoU · 19/03/2023 17:04

Stripeyishjumper · 09/03/2023 21:05

I don’t like him but I love watching the clip of him with Emily where he ‘angry stirs’ his coffee because she’s previously been on safari, it’s just so bonkers. I hope for her sake he’s grown up and started being nicer since then but I doubt it having seen how he treated Katie price on their reality shows, chat shows and personal appearances.

Do you have a link, I haven’t seen that yet!

Togoodtobeforgotten · 19/03/2023 16:59

Ok bored do I decide to watch Kp and PA show and a tally he comes across as a controlling nasty pig. The amount of times he is putting her down, she is very subdued, it's like some things she says or does it to get his attention it's all very toxic, not saying she's an angel because she's not.

VestaTilley · 14/03/2023 12:38

I’m sure I read a thread about him on here not so long ago where someone said exactly the same. Watching back old footage of him and KP showed him up as being quite controlling.

BillyNighysWife · 14/03/2023 12:27

@CauliflowerCheese30

I don't know him but he is by far the most stable parent

You say this as if being stable (or unstable) is a moral judgement of whether someone is a good, or likeable person or not.

KP is sometimes unstable, she has some mental health issues likely arising from some traumatic early experiences. But poor mental health is a neutral, medical issue, you wouldn’t believe that someone with cancer was unlikeable or unpleasant would you? Poor mental health can sometimes make people complicated or difficult to live with but that does not make them bad necessarily.

PA is stable, yes but also unpleasant, controlling and unkind. In my judgement that is worse.

ZombieMumEB · 13/03/2023 01:22

In the 90's, my friend dragged me to the local nightclub (In Australia) where he was singing, just as his career was taking off. We were right next to the stage as the crowd was quite small and he had to walk through past us when he got on and off the stage. My friend was over the moon.

I didn't see the appeal in him then and was shocked years later to discover he was quite famous in the UK.

Did anyone ever see the episode when he and Katie were in the Segway shop in L.A?

Yes I have. It’s horrible to watch. Shows his nasty, spiteful, abusive true colours there.

CandleInTheStorm · 12/03/2023 16:39

Did it ever get revealed why he left Katie? I remember at the time he made a big deal about not saying why he left to protect his kids from reading it, but I also recall Katie saying it was all nonsense him saying that and she'd like him to actually reveal the reason to her too! It all came across as though there was some big secret when, in fact, the reason was most likely it had turned toxic, and they just split because, well, it was toxic.
