Peter Andre gives fans baby Arabella update ahead of Halloween plans
Peter Andre has revealed that he will be in Cyprus this week filming for his Channel 5 drama. In his weekly column at OK! Magazine, the 51-year-old singer discussed his family's plans for Halloween and his work schedule.
Peter Andre will star in the upcoming crime series The Sunshine Murders on Channel 5. While very little has been confirmed about the new drama series, Peter Andre is rumoured to play the character George Constantinos.
Although the singer is looking at the career change, he's not a total stranger to acting. As well as taking on the roles of Vince Fontaine and Teen Angel in the stage musical version of Grease last year and appearing in Thriller Live, he's also banked credits in a number of TV shows and films.

He voiced Ace in the Thomas and Friends: Big World, Big Adventures! last year, and played Donnie in the 2023 film SnapCatch, which also starred his teenage son Junior Andre and former Hollyoaks star Niamh Blackshaw, who was recently cast in the BBC's Waterloo Road.
Before he jets off to film his new series, Peter Andre will be attending the Pride of Britain Awards. In his column, he said: "I’ve got a jam-packed week coming up as Emily, Junior, Princess and I are all attending the Pride of Britain Awards and then I go straight into filming my Channel 5 drama.
"It’s a crazy time but an exciting one too. Pride of Britain will be the first event Emily and I have attended together this year, and it’s such an important one. I say it every year, but it’s amazing to see the British public get behind people and recognise their amazing achievements."
However it does mean Peter won't be with his family for Halloween. He said: "I can’t believe we’re at this time of year already where we’re making Halloween plans. Where has the time gone? I’ll unfortunately be in Cyprus filming but Emily has some really good plans for the kids, and Millie and Theo are so excited to dress up - They’ve still to pick their costumes but I think they’ll go all out this year. It's such fun time as a family.
"We also have a family fun day coming up at Tulleys Farm where we’re taking the kids pumpkin picking. I’m sure Arabella will have fun too. She’s becoming so much more alert and is at the age where she just laughs at everything."
As the winter draws closer, the return of I'm A Celebrity is looming. A new line-up of squeamish celebrities will jet off to Australia to eat bugs, sleep in the jungle and compete for the crown.
One rumoured celeb heading down under is the wife of new Argyle manager, Wayne Rooney. His wife Colleen has reportedly signed up to the show, which Peter himself starred on.
Peter said: "I read Coleen Rooney has reportedly signed up for this year’s I’m A Celebrity. What’s exciting about the show is that every year there is always someone that is going to make headlines. I think it’s great if Coleen is going in and I think the producers might be hoping for some gossip. I also can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I was on I’m A Celeb . Time moves so fast and so much has changed"
Within his column, Peter then paid tribute to One Direction star Liam Payne following the news of his death in Argentina. He said: "I was so sad to hear about the death of Liam Payne. It was such a shock to everybody, especially his family and friends and of course his fans.
"He was such a recognisable face around the world and loved by so many, it’s heartbreaking his life was ended so short. It really resonates with me being a father and also having a seven-year-old, and I can’t imagine that loss for his son too. Sending our love and thoughts to his family and friends."
