I swear, if that vile little shit does well in Strictly, I am cancelling my TV license.

Who is with me?

And should I start one of those petition things?

but the mudslinging on his ex, without whose influence he would be an unheard of nonentity these days, does seem quite a shame.

Fine if you think that, but after Jordan's eight mud slinging autobiographies, I can't sit here and think she's some innocent privacy loving discreet person.

Also their union took her from Page 3 girl and WAG to all round sleb with books, bras, clothing, reality shows etc. She wouldn't have done that without becoming half of a hot celeb couple.

Well I like him and I hope he does well.
So there!

I know a couple of people who have met him in RL and they say he is genuinely lovely! I trust their judgement more than I do yours.

I think its disgusting to be so rude about adad.

Really? That can't be true.

You clearly remember things in a different order from what I do. At the time of I'm a Celebrity, where he met former p3 girl and rich celeb Jordan, just out of relationships with pop star Dane Bowers and footballer Dwight York, she seemed pretty wealthy and famous to me.

Washed up pop star Peter Andre (who lets face it was more well known for his abs and their effect on young girls) made a beeline for her for this much younger woman. He wasn't put off by the elements that he later claims to have put him off her at all when he needed fame and money. Only once he achieved it.

Using a woman to get rich and then leaving her and slagging her off are hardly the indications of a gentleman. It leaves the impression that he would do or say almost anything for money.

I don't see it like that at all. I find it sad that people think that he got married and had kids just for money, like that's all he cared about. I honestly don't see it like that at all.

And what's her age got to do with it? There's only 5 years between them.

Famous for what? Tits and relationships and falling out of nightclubs.

So her reputation was hardly unknown to him? Why then make so many complaints about her means of earning a living (once he had benefitted from it)?

Her age is relevant because he actually started making money out of body and selling his sexual appeal at a younger age than she did. But if he can't see that this is a phase both of them went through, then he has learned nothing from his experiences. In fact, he arguably still sells sex as for some reason, some women find him attractive and swoon over him strutting around on Strictly or selling his "Ideal Dad" image.

I wonder where his career would be now if he hadn't met KP? Best career move he ever made, and he stole her business model!

and he stole her business model!

Complete rubbish. Many celebrities use OK magazine and have presenting jobs and bring our perfume etc. KP did not invent that.

I really don't understand the hate. People make out he's some kind of predatory evil theiving prostitute.

I do not get it. Save your vitriol for evil doers, not cheesy celebrities.

Wow. Such a tenuous argument about a man being in the wrong for hooking up with someone five years younger.

Actually, I cannot recall a previous all access, fly on the wall, tv series about the family life of a well known celebrity and their family in their own home before KP. The Orange Botoxed one then exported it to his own family and continued the good work.

I'll spell it out again. Marrying a former P3 model then divorcing her for being a former P3 model is hypocritical. Using a woman for money and fame then slagging her off isn't a characteristic of a nice person. I think he's the sort of man many decent women would absolutely wish to avoid, no matter how nice and cheesy he comes across when on message. Pretending he is some ideal man I think gives out a potentially harmful role model message when the man's behaviour has so many red flags he is in fact the sort of man we should all be teaching our daughters to avoid.

Love Peter! I know people who know him and he is genuinely a very nice guy. I hope he wins.

Actually, I cannot recall a previous all access, fly on the wall, tv series about the family life of a well known celebrity and their family in their own home before KP- The Osbournes.

And the reality show was her agent's idea not KP's.

The rest is just your take on it, not fact.

Was it KP's agent or Claire from CAN?

I find/found the whole thing predictable.

Rich successful woman, unapologetic for success or sex marries tiny little orange man with zero means and talent
He tries to change her
She tries but is unable to embody whatever imaginary creature he envisages
He is emasculated and petulant becomes a further caricature of himself

They split - he leaves her straight after miscarriage

The press pull down begins..with KP being trashed all over the papers for fundamentally being herself faced with single parenthood grief and the might of whomever against her shitstirring at every turn

She pulled through continued unapologetically with business empire and atrocious choices in men

Tiny pointless man makes constant references to her, her life/behaviour and throws pointed shade to her constantly to keep himself current
Pretends to be the best father in the world as it is his only way to keep twanging the heartstrings of OK readers and Iceland buyers

The Orange Botoxed One's pr team are clearly as on-message as Rita Ora's!

"The Orange One" is odds-on favourite to win Strictly??!!

Some miscreant upthread spoke ill of Katie Derham.

Now I can't stand Strictly, and when DW is watching it I go next door and read or MN but DW loyally calls me in when Ms D dances so that I can watch with my tongue hanging out and my FCLs in overdrive. Not a word against her, please!

She was definitely much more famous and wealthier than him when they first met. She had just been on the cover of Playboy. He had one hit almost ten years before.

Was it KP's agent or Claire from CAN?

Claire from CAN

Until KP met Andrea - Claire was his manager
Surely KP moved to be managed by Claire when she and Andrea started seriously going out
Therefore Not her manager's idea...rather their manager's idea.

Suddenly through that relationship and PA persuading KP to move CAN had something to really work with at last. CAN gained and made a lot from KP at that point.

Yep. In 2004 CAN had a washed up Andre on their hands and not much business. KP was the meal ticket for all of them.

I cannot believe that it's taken me so long to find this thread!
In approximate order of preference:
Katie D
Jay Wanted
Ainsley
Helen Midwife
Anthony
Anita
Jamelia

Then any of:
Georgia (Happy shopper Louisa & Vincent)
Kelly (I can only see Kate Aldridge and Kevin gets on my tits)
Jeremy (much rather have had his brother Tim)
Carol
Iwan
Wee Daniel
Kirsty

However even I wouldn't go as far as "vile little shit". I'd save that for people with a proven record of genuinely shocking behaviour

If next year's lawsuit goes as some MNers have predicted then maybe we can upgrade Andre to those dizzy heights.

oh, MUMSNET

sometimes I just don't recognise you anymore

[not cross just very disappointed face]

This thread REALLY needs a picture of a serving plate with a badger in his pants playing a banjo on.

I've just seen photos of him and his wife (Emily) in the dailymail on a red carpet. He has his hand placed on her bum and has that seedy grin again.

I genuinely have no idea what the public see in him. He makes my skin crawl.

I always feel sorry for that poor woman Emily. She might profess to be happy now, but I hope when she is older she doesn't look back and think of all the hot medical students her own age she missed out on, who are then way more successful than a faded reality tv obsessed pop star could ever be. And actually doing something useful with their lives.

He's trapped her, hasn't he? What better than a medical student (now doctor) to boost his public image, now he's grown tired of a former topless model?
