Peter Andre has revealed that his son Junior challenged him to get back in shape after seeing how his famous dad looked in his Mysterious Girl heyday.

 

Almost 20 years later, Peter is recreating some the iconic scenes from the Mysterious Girl video for his 2018 calendar.

 

The former popstar began training six days a week to get back his six-pack after Junior watched the Mysterious Girl video and asked his dad why he no longer looked like that…ouch!

 

Peter revealed in his magazine column for new! that he’d shed 13 pounds to get back in shape.

 

“I'm 72kgs. I haven’t dieted – you know me, I’m not a big fan of diets – but I’ve been running an hour a day, six days a week. That’s like seven or eight kilometres a day. I used to hate running but now I love it”, he wrote.

Peter recently took to Instagram to show off his chiselled abs and his fans were duly impressed by his hard work.

 

“Still got it Peter - I remember dancing along to you at Chelmsford Hyde Park to Mysterious Girl – those were the days”, one admiring fan wrote. “Such a hunk”, another adoring fan gushed.

 

While Peter may be in great shape now, he reveals he was always the “skinny kid” growing up.

 

He shocked fans last year when he revealed he weighs his children regularly to see if they are a healthy weight for their age.

 

However, Peter does this because he wants Junior, 12, and Princess, ten, to put on weight rather than lose it.

“I’m conscious of my kids' weight and I don’t even know if I’m doing the right thing by weighing them.

 

“But I weigh them because I want them to put on weight,” the singer revealed during an appearance on Loose Women.

 

“When I see my kids aren’t eating a lot, I get concerned and I’ll keep trying to feed them, I think it’s a bit of a Greek thing anyway”, the doting dad explained.

 

“I don’t weigh them all the time, but I do weigh them sometimes”.

 

As well as Junior and Princess, Peter is now a proud dad to Amelia, three and Theo, ten months, from his marriage to Emily MacDonagh.
