Peter Andre has announced his latest career move, joining the cast of Mamma Mia! The Party at London's O2 Arena alongside X Factor winner Sam Bailey, a close friend of his ex-wife Katie Price. The announcement comes weeks after Peter and Katie agreed to a truce, vowing not to speak negatively about each other publicly.
Sam Bailey, 48, and Katie Price, 47, have been friends for years, having appeared together on Loose Women in 2017 and performed together. Sam has previously described Katie as a 'beautiful lady' and an 'amazing mum', and has defended her against public criticism, telling Closer magazine that Katie faces 'so much pressure' to be 'perfect'.
Peter will take on the role of Nikos for a limited run from 14 May to 23 July 2026, while Sam will play Debbie from 14 May 2026 until 4 April 2027. This collaboration follows a recent FaceTime call between Peter and Katie, during which Katie introduced Peter to her new husband, Lee Andrews. Katie described the call as 'surreal', noting it was the first time she had seen Peter in nine years.
Katie and Peter, who met on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and were married from 2005 to 2009, have had a turbulent relationship. However, on 6 February, they jointly announced a legal agreement to stop speaking negatively about each other, aiming to create a 'calm and supportive environment' for their children.
