Peter Andre has landed one of the lead acting roles in an upcoming TV drama.

“I have also got a part in a new Channel 5 drama as one of the lead characters, which I’m excited about. I can’t reveal the name of it just yet or give much away, but I start filming next month and can’t wait to get stuck in. Watch this space!” he wrote in his OK! magazine column.

IMDb has listed his next TV credit as The Sunshine Murders, a crime series in which he will play a character named George Constantinos. The plot is currently under wraps.

The 51-year-old also revealed he is working on his next album.

“I’ve been talking about new music for so long but I’m happy to announce that I’m finally working on an album,” he shared. “Next year will be 30 years since the release of Mysterious Girl, so the album is to mark that milestone and will be followed by a tour.”
