Peter Andre has unveiled a significant new career move, revealing he will be performing alongside Katie Price's best friend in a major theatrical production. This development comes just weeks after Andre and Price publicly declared a truce, agreeing to never speak negatively about each other again.
Mamma Mia! The Party Collaboration
Andre has now officially announced that he will be joining the cast of Mamma Mia! The Party at London's O2 Arena, where he will be performing with X Factor winner Sam Bailey. Bailey has been a close friend of Katie Price for many years, with their friendship dating back to at least 2017 when they appeared together on Loose Women.
Cast Details and Performance Schedule
Peter Andre will take on the role of Nikos for a limited run of performances from 14 May until 23 July 2026. Meanwhile, singer Sam Bailey will step into the role of Debbie from 14 May 2026, joining the rest of the cast until 4 April 2027. This professional collaboration between Andre and Price's close friend serves as tangible evidence of the improved relationship between the former spouses.
History of the Andre-Price Friendship
Sam Bailey has publicly expressed admiration for Katie Price on multiple occasions, describing her as a "beautiful lady" and an "amazing mum" in past interviews. Bailey previously confessed to Closer magazine that she becomes "upset" for her friend when Price faces public criticism, though she admitted they don't see each other frequently.
"She has this reputation of being a party girl, but I've seen the way she is with her children and she's an amazing mum," Bailey said in defense of her friend, adding that Price faces "so much pressure" to be "perfect" despite being just a normal woman.
The Recent Truce Agreement
On 6 February, Peter Andre and Katie Price jointly announced they were closing the door on their toxic past and vowed to never speak about each other negatively again. Their Instagram statement read: "Katie Price and Peter Andre have decided to close the door on the past and move forward into a new chapter with positivity and respect. We are both focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for our children."
The statement continued: "We have reached a mutual agreement, both legally and personally confirming that neither of us will speak negatively about the other going forward. This decision reflects a shared commitment to our family and stability."
Recent Interactions Between Former Couple
Katie Price recently revealed that she and Peter Andre had a surprising FaceTime encounter when she was speaking with their daughter, Princess Andre. "Ironically, I was FaceTiming Princess the other day when she was with Pete, so she put me onto him," Price told The Sun. "It was the first time in nine years I've seen him."
Price added that the timing was particularly surreal as she was having dinner with her new husband, Lee Andrews, when the call occurred: "It was surreal – I was like 'oh hello ex-husband, welcome to my new husband!'. They had a nice chat. I was like 'what the f*** is going on here?!'"
Background of the Andre-Price Relationship
Peter Andre and Katie Price first met as contestants on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in 2004, with their connection quickly turning romantic. They married in 2005 and divorced in 2009 after having two children together. Since their bitter break-up, the pair have been locked in a war of words that has often played out publicly on social media and in the press.
Katie Price has since been married three more times – to Alex Reid from 2010 to 2012, Kieran Hayler from 2013 to 2021, and most recently to Lee Andrews in January 2026 after a whirlwind engagement. Price introduced Andre to her new husband during their recent FaceTime conversation, marking another step in their improved relationship.
The collaboration between Peter Andre and Sam Bailey in Mamma Mia! The Party represents more than just a professional opportunity – it serves as a public demonstration of the healing relationship between Andre and Price, who are now focused on creating stability for their children after years of public feuding.
