Angry Loose Women viewers slam show over Peter Andre interview

Not everyone is happy about his long-standing connection to the ITV show

Bored Loose Women fans have blasted the show after they welcomed Peter Andre for the 42nd time on Monday’s programme.

Yes. You read that right. 42nd time.

The popstar has been interviewed by the ITV daytime show a whopping 42 different times over the years so perhaps it’s no surprise viewers were a tad fed up to see his face popping up YET AGAIN.

While the show bigged up Peter’s long-standing connection to Loose Women, fans at home were less than impressed.

One tweeted: “There are tons of celebs they could have on as a guest. Why Peter Andre again!!!!!”

Another said: “42nd appearance really???? They just keep having him on and it’s getting boring.”

A third joked: “Peter Andre has a residency on Loose Women.”

While another said: “Again!!! Same old guests. He’s been on so many times he may as well be on the permanent panel.”

Other fans shared memes showing their boredom at Peter being invited on for yet another appearance.

Oh dear…

Peter, 44, was on Loose Women to chat about recent criticism of his parenting, sparked when he said he wanted to be “best friends” with his kids.

His response? Get over it!

He said: “First and foremost, you have to be a parent, but when I look at my parents and how strict they were… I couldn’t talk to them about a lot of things.

“Although my upbringing was good and I appreciated it and I know they showed me love, who did I speak to when I was confused about something? I spoke to my brothers, but not everyone has siblings so who do you talk to?”

Peter said: “I instil the same strictness my parents instilled in me but I also want them to know they can talk to me about absolutely everything.

“They do become your friend as well – you have to gain that trust for them to come to you about anything.”

The star said he thinks times have changed and parents have more in common with their kids these days, pointing out he’d never have imagined playing computer games with his own dad, while he will happily play with his own children.

Peter was also asked how he co-parents with ex-wife Katie Price if they both have different rules at home: they share son Junior, 12, and ten-year-old daughter Princess.

“I think kids are really adaptable,” he said.

“My mum was loving and would cuddle me. My dad was strict. But they both loved us the same. I learned I could get away with things in front of mum, not dad. You learn to adapt.”

Peter also gave an insight into the rules he has at home including “one screen only” which means the family can’t watch TV and play on their phones at the same time – they can only use one screen at a time.

He also refuses to allow any screens over dinner, insisting it’s a time for the family to come together and talk, rather than watch TV.

As well as being dad to Junior and Princess, Peter also has two kids with second wife Emily: daughter Amelia, three, and son Theo, one.
