Peter Andre lands job on This Morning

Peter Andre’s star is rising as he lands on his feet with a job as showbiz reporter for the daytime TV favourite, This Morning. The ITV show returns next week on September 1^st with a whole new look, a several new faces to boot.

Holly Willoughby is the most significant change to the mix as she replaces Fern Britton to co-host the show alongside Phillip Schofield. However for the first two week, Eamonn Holmes and his fiancé Ruth Langsford will resume presenting duties until the new pairing debut on September 14^th. Other newcomers to the show include Linda Barker, chef Jean Christophe Novelli, and gardener Diarmuid Gavin.

This isn’t Pete’s first foray into presenting on the morning show. Along with his now estranged wife Katie Price, Pete presented a segment whilst the series I’m A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here was airing offering their opinions on events within the jungle. As a pair of ex-contestants themselves, the couple were well positioned to offer their views and were also popular with the viewers.

Last week the first episode of Peter Andre’s solo reality showed was aired on ITV2 and pulled in a staggering 2 million viewers, the highest audience figures for the channel this year. Pete has also re-launched his music career this summer and reached number 4 in the charts with his debut single, Behind Closed Doors, from his forthcoming new album. This Morning will hope to capitalise on Pete’s popularity and appeal to a whole new area of the audience market.

Peter announced his split from wife of 3 and a half years, Katie Price aka Jordan, in May of this year and the pair have rarely been out of the headlines since. The Mysterious Girl will be joining the hit show at a special time as This Morning celebrates its 21^st anniversary in October and a whole host of celebrity guests are rumoured to appear to mark the occasion.
