Peter Andre 'beyond excited' as he makes his West End debut in Grease

Peter Andre certainly brushed off Rebekah Vardy’s comments about the size of his manhood with his hip-swivelling action as he made his West End debut in Grease at the Dominion Theatre on Tuesday.

Sporting a huge quiff and a very tight pair of trousers, the singer, 47, transformed into Vince Fontaine and stole the show with his gyrating moves.

Lapping up the cheers from the audience, he showed he was up for a laugh as he wiggled his hips and then jumped into the half splits.

And the singer got the crowd on their feet as he sang a medley at the end of the show.

He said: “I’m beyond excited to be making my West End debut playing Vince Fontaine in Grease, it is such an iconic musical.”

Pete’s performance comes after he said he has taken “hit after hit” for 15 years over Vardy’s jibe claiming that his privates looked like a “chipolata”.

The remark made in a 2004 interview was brought up last week during the WAG’s court battle with Coleen Rooney.

He said in response: “If a man had said this about her anatomy and made up something, you can use your imagination, saying something very unflattering, there’d be absolute outrage. But because it’s been said about me it’s been the butt of all jokes.”
