This has thrown me. I’ve just seen a TikTok about it. Obviously not a Peter fan but always just assumed he was a decent good guy. Clearly not. I can never ironic Mysterious Girl again

Why is it obvious you're not a Peter fan?

You really don't explain your thinking well.

Classic mumsnet thread. You're so right @VeniVidiWeeWee none of it make sense.

I think it boils down to "Poster who watches Katie Price reality shows and gets her news off TikTok, slags off Peter Andre because he's got a job supporting his family on a TV news programme she's probably never watched. "

Yes indeed.

He gets fantastic guests who the BBC are hurting themselves by ignoring, such as Helen Joyce and Maya. And he’s very gay, is someone claiming GB News is homophobic?!

I loved me some Titania Mcgrath. My husband watches it sometimes and they often have panellists on there who are quite left wing. I think they actually sometimes have a better representation of political views across the spectrum. Can’t get het up about it tbh.

I also think Andrew Doyle is brilliant. Free Speech Nation is a great programme. He is so clever and articulate and has given a platform for many people - and particularly women - who are not invited on to mainstream media.

It’s so lazy to say GB News = bad without ever watching any of it. It’s not all Nigel Farage.

Oh yeah, some of it also is/was Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton.

YANBU I was thrown too when it was announced. Another closet gammon coming out of the woodwork

A gammon with an olive complexion? Is that a thing?

I guess he’s voiced an opinion that doesn’t fit with the OP’s worldview. So he’s automatically in the wrong.

Natch.

How else will we narrow everyone down to the three righteous virtue-speakers?

VeniVidiWeeWee · 07/04/2024 00:41

Oh do grow up.

@AdamRyan made a a great point about why your post was very silly. “Karen” and “gammon” are not the same. Maybe just accept the shame that has been gifted to you, and move on quietly.

LunaandLily · 07/04/2024 06:50

VeniVidiWeeWee · 06/04/2024 23:21

Tell me, "Karen" is deemed sexist and offensive. Why do you think "gammon" is acceptable?

Do you know lots of men named Gammon?

WillJeSuis · 07/04/2024 06:54

I thought most people knew that Peter Andre is a shitbag. The guy would sell his grandma for fame. He's also incredibly irritating.

BroughttoyoubyBerocca · 07/04/2024 07:01

He loves his kids though.

LiterallyOnFire · 07/04/2024 07:09

Laughattheloons · 06/04/2024 23:57

It’s pretty simple folks. Peter Andre is on GB News and I was shocked by this as always assumed he was a good guy. No attention seeking or clickbait here. Thread just doing what it says on the tin.

So you're watching some obscure channel so that you can hate everyone who appears on it? Is that it?

hamstersarse · 07/04/2024 07:10

Most people’s view of GB news comes directly from the BBC and other legacy media outlets, aka their competition. A competition that are seriously struggling in the new media Wild West.

Im sure OP will never understand that forming your own opinions is a useful thing to do in such a climate.

GreatGateauxsby · 07/04/2024 07:11

I'm amazed they would bother with him.

He's gross. he was hawking stuff on QVC back in the day... this was when "happily married to Katie" and they were a bit of a power couple and had small kids. He merrily got a blow job off the make up artist 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
I judged her as well as him.
So yes he isnt a great person.

GB news i have surprising mixed feelings about for the reasons @GrandmaMazur amd @AnneLovesGilbert highlighted

Custardslices · 07/04/2024 07:17

Didn't Peter lie in court for his manager Claire? She accused her then husband Nevile of being violent was proven to be lies.

He didn't support his then wife Katie through a miscarriage just left her.

Yet here we are worried about him on GB news.

existentialannie · 07/04/2024 07:30

He seems also to have a very small willie (lowers tone even lower than GB News 😉)

EatenEasterChocsAlready · 07/04/2024 07:31

Stop press, huge news, Peter Andre is on gb news?

Someone whose alternate twitter account has been banned multiple times for hate speech doesn’t sound like a decent person what so ever.

Judging people by the number of Twitter bans is an interesting concept. Donald Trump was banned once, would that make him an admirable person?

Noicant · 07/04/2024 07:32

Pu-lease twitter had been banning feminists for ages. Women advocating for women. I don’t think a ban means anything really.

Statetheobvious · 07/04/2024 07:34

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/04/2024 23:24

What’s he done, or do you just mean him being on there has got you choking on self righteous indignation? Loads of great people appear on the channel.

😂

Isn't his ethnic background Greek Cypriot? The word doesn't fit imo.

sweetpickle2 · 07/04/2024 07:42

Not sure why people are confused by the OP, the title literally says “Peter Andre on GB News”.

However OP YABU for thinking he was a nice guy, he’s been an emotionally abusive fame hungry creep for years. Doesn’t surprise me at all that he fits the profile for GB News.

JoeLovesGina · 07/04/2024 07:43

I find it very sad that people are watching and enjoying GB News without being able to spot its extreme right agenda.

It's spreading hate by stealth, dressed up as news, when in fact it's opinions and extremely toxic ones at that.
