Peter Andre has no 'ill feeling' towards Rebekah Vardy over 'chipolata' jibe

Peter Andre has said he doesn’t have any “ill feeling” towards Rebekah Vardy over her “chipolata” comment but that the problem is that it comes up so often.

Vardy made the remark in an interview more than 20 years ago, saying the Mysterious Girl singer had the “smallest trouser equipment” she’d seen.

Andre, 50, has previously said he’s had to endure years of mocking over the jibe.

Addressing it on the Off Air podcast, the star revealed he doesn’t hold a grudge.

“I don't hold any ill feeling and I'll tell you why,” he said.

“Because at the time it was said it wasn't very nice, that wasn't the problem - people say stupid things, we all do.

“I've said many stupid things in my life that if I could go back I would clip myself around the head for the things that I have said. Even the old reality shows when I would talk in a way that I would never talk now.

“And yet that wasn't the problem, the problem for me was that it was brought up again and again and again.”

The father-of-four went on: “For me, the ill feeling isn't with the person. It was something stupid was said, so what?”

“We've all said stupid things,” he said.

Last year, Vardy’s comment came up again amid her 'Wagatha Christie' trial at London's High Court, where she said she regretted it.
