Peter Andre snubbed 'I'm A Celebrity...'
Tuesday, 17 November 2009
Peter Andre was approached to appear in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' - but turned it down.
The 'Behind Closed Doors' singer - who divorced glamour model Katie Price in September - said he won't be joining her in the Australian outback for a second stint on the reality TV show because he couldn't face leaving his kids for such a long time.
He wrote in his New! magazine column: "I was approached to do the show three months ago, but I said no straight away. For me, it would be like going backwards and - as much as I love the people at ITV - I am keen to move forwards.
"I can't even begin to contemplate being away from the kids for a month.
"The good news about this situation is it means I'll have the kids to myself, which is amazing. You have no idea how happy this makes me."
The 36-year-old singer fought a bitter divorce battle with Katie - whom he originally met when they both appeared on 'I'm a Celebrity...' in 2004 - but refused to comment on how he thinks she ex-wife will do on the show.
Katie - who is reportedly being paid £350,000 to appear on the show - hopes her second appearance on the show will be successful and improve her public persona.
She said: "I think when people see me, like last time, they'll see I'm grounded. I've no agenda. Six years on I'm more mature, I'm wiser and shall just be myself."
