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

It’s not always a joke, that’s the point. Most people think he is dad of the year.

Some people maybe, but then some people think KP is a good mother so 😂

@Moonicorn

I’m just basing my opinion on what was posted here. Unlike some lucky people I haven’t had the privilege of bumping into Saint Peter on a dog walk.

But in that clip he’s a controlling bellend.

StrawberryWater · 10/03/2023 08:38

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned he looks sticky.

He is sticky! I met him at a student event I was running years ago and ewwww. I can still feel his handshake. 😷 He also smelt of lynx and BO.

That said: he was actually very nice!

I don’t follow him or know him so who knows what he’s like behind closed doors or on his shows but yeah he was ok to me. Minus the sticky handshake. 🤢

God it’s a really telling sign of how low our collective bar is for men that people are saying he loves his kids and was once nice to a random he met walking his dog and that makes him a fucking saint.

I don’t know the bloke from Adam but his behaviour on that clip is textbook control.

I think it’s very telling that on a general ‘have you met him? Whaddaya think?’ type thread you’re so incredibly desperate to search for ulterior motives that would never be ascribed to women. The double standards on here are a joke and don’t even do us any favours.

Are you suggesting that TikTok edited the video somehow?

not sure if that link works, but I believe this is what a lot of people are talking about

I came here to defend the coffee stirring because when I watched it, I didn’t see what you all saw. He looked irritated but I put that down to disappointment and playing up to the cameras a bit for some interest. HOWEVER - Jesus I can’t ever look at him the same again after that tik tok. Bloody hell. I’m in shock! What a nasty nasty prick. I wouldn’t even have taken that as well as Katie did. Think what she must have put up with over the years with him. Wow just wow. And so so rude to the bloke with the segways - was all so unnecessary and diva ish. Imagine how he would speak to her and behave at home 😞

marchella · 10/03/2023 02:42

Seems a pretty smart lady decided he was ok, so as I've never met him I will bow to her authority.

Jumbojade · 10/03/2023 02:36

Does anyone know if he really loves his kids?? 😬

Hmm. The tiktoks that have upset you are clips from the Katie and Peter era. They split in 2009, 14 years ago. She’s had 2 more husbands and 2
more divorces since. It’s old news isn’t it?

Although just lately his career seems to be going from strength to strength. He’s done a successful run in the West End in Grease. He’s launching a 30 year celebration of his career tour this year. His marriage to Emily seems strong. His children are doing well. Junior, his son, made comments to the Sun newspaper just a couple of days ago about what an amazing Dad he was and how he hoped he could be just like him. Junior never makes any positive comments about his Mum publicly. It seems both he and Princess have lived with Dad for several years.

So this post is interestingly timed I would say…

My own view is that yes he comes across as a little too good to be true and certainly showed himself up on the Katie and Peter shows many years ago, but he seems to have matured into a sensible adult and certainly a Dad who has provided stability and sanity for the two elder children who must have suffered as their mother went through very well publicised difficult times with her mental health.

The other thing I admire him for is despite the fact that Katie Price has attacked him and his wife in the press very publicly and quite nastily, neither he nor Emily have ever responded. For that, they both have my respect.

This. He always seems to put his children's welfare and education first.

TheMainWoman · 10/03/2023 01:46

I do not like him at all.

What has Katie said about Emily in the press? I’ve heard things she’s said about Kieran’s (I think) partner but anything she’s said about Emily has passed me by, I thought maybe she was just kind of pretending she doesn’t exist.

So much vitrol for a man that many hasn't met/seen snippets on YouTube or TV.

I'm surprised how many posters are getting so worked up/unpleasant about him.

Mamaneedsadrink · 10/03/2023 00:40

Haven't thought about him since about 1993 when he had abs of steel dancing to "mysterious girl"

My contribution is someone else’s anecdote- Deborah Frances White (feminist comedian) used to go door knocking with Peter Andre when they were Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia in their teens. They saw each other again in London 20/30 years later and Deborah explained how she’d left JW because of conflicts with feminism and identity etc etc and a long explanation and Peter replied with yeah I just left cos I really needed to get laid

At least he's honest haha!

Show quote history

Really ? I'm sad ? You are someone who goes on a different forum and finds a specific thread so you can carry on calling Katie Price skanky. You go across the internet calling her a skank. How can someone you don't know cause you to behave like that? It's really abnormal and obsessive. I don't really dislike Peter or Katie I don't know them. It's certainly a waste of time putting so much effort into hating on someone I don't know. Katie price is living rent free in your heads and she doesn't give you a second thought.

Hey, more power to you not giving a shit that a stranger on the internet thinks you are tragic. When I read that message I could feel the loneliness. I think the fact that you have a nickname for a celebrity, that is recognisable, translates to... someone who doesn't have a lot going on in their own life. But again, you don't give a shit so?

That clip about the safari is completely staged and set up for the show. He looks mock pissed off. That will have been engineered by producers to create ‘drama’. They literally will have scripted ‘right now a close up of Pete stirring the coffee angrily’. Christ don’t judge the poor bloke on this.

Yeah there’s loads more that’s worse you are right
