MOST know him for cheesy pop hits Mysterious Girl and Insania, but Peter Andre's performance at the Royal Concert Hall proved him to have a bit more up his sleeve. Famous to a wider audience from his appearance on ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and his explosive marriage to Jordan, aka Katie Price, the Australian singer ensured that he was remembered for his music. He's also been in the public eye for more recent reasons, and his ongoing TV advert appearances for supermarket brand Iceland led one woman in the crowd to throw an Iceland branded bag of frozen peas at the star. Later, another female fan who was lucky enough to get on to the stage, demanded a kiss and pinched his bottom. Further fan interaction came later when he dragged six people on to the stage, two of them male, and encouraged them to partake in a Greek dance in homage to his roots, the outcome of which was hilarious as the participants tried to keep up with the pace. On to the music and this time around Peter has revamped his sound – changing his tune from pop hits to big band sounds. Backed by a ten-piece band, including his brother Chris Andre who played guitar, Andre's charisma and charm was reminiscent of swing singer Michael Buble. Opening with songs from his latest album Big Night, the flirtatious new tracks stole the hearts of the predominantly female audience as he danced provocatively across the stage. Encouraging the women in the crowd to dance along with him, Andre gave a cheeky wink to many of his adoring fans. Like Mr Buble, he is a sex symbol in the music industry and his performance set temperatures rising... even though his parents were watching in the audience. Andre's return to Nottingham attracted lengthy queues of female fans who had waited outside the venue throughout the day, hoping to meet their dream man. Performing an unexpected cover of Justin Timberlake's Senorita and later John Legend's Ordinary People, Andre provided unique crowd-pleasing renditions of the contemporary classics. Having taunted the crowd earlier with a snippet of Mysterious Girl, the song which everyone had been waiting for finally came, and was mixed into Bob Marley's Stir it Up and Inner Circle's Sweat, transforming the song into a reggae masterpiece. Andre revealed that the inspiration behind the pop classic came from bathing in a waterfall, while he happily stripped off onstage. Despite being a father of three (including two children with his ex, Katie Price) he's not someone who can be accused of dad dancing. The excitable crowd reminisced as he recreated the choreography for his first number one single, Flava. The singer will also be releasing a Christmas album later this year, and he found time to give the audience a sample of the music to feature on it.
