Peter Andre has 'one problem' with Rebekah Vardy's 'stupid' chipolata comments

Peter Andre has spoken out on Rebekah Vardy's "stupid" comments after she compared his manhood to a chipolata sausage.

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker, 50, was dragged into the Wagatha Christie trial as the WAG was asked about her comments during the first day in High Court.

At the time it was reported Peter was "livid" about getting dragged into the case but now says he isn't holding a grudge.

Peter admitted "people say stupid things" and knows he also did during his reality TV stints.

He is however frustrated that the jibe keeps getting brought up.

"I don't hold any ill feeling and I'll tell you why.

"At the time it wasn't very nice, that wasn't the problem - people say stupid things, we all do," he said on the Off Air podcast.

"I've said many stupid things in my life that if I could go back I would clip myself around the head. Even the old reality shows when I would talk in a way that I would never talk now.

He added: "That wasn't the problem, the problem for me was that it was brought up again, and again and again.

"For me the ill feeling isn't with [Rebekah]. Something stupid was said, so what? We've all said stupid things. I've always been a glass half full kind of guy."

In the proceedings at London’s High Court, Vardy said she regretted describing Peter's manhood as a “miniature chipolata” in a 2004 kiss-and-tell newspaper interview with the News of the World.

Vardy insisted she “deeply regrets” the incident and was coerced into giving the interview to the tabloid against her will by her ex-husband, an allegation the ex-husband has previously denied.

Peter took to his Instagram where he wrote: “Do you know how hard it is to keep biting my lip on situations? But the way I look at it, most people saw in the jungle how an acorn turned into an oak so I think I’m OK.

“At least she has now admitted it wasn’t true. And was forced to say it.”

Coleen Rooney ’s lawyer David Sherborne was cross-examining Vardy when he probed her about the newspaper interview.

Mr Sherborne had asked her if she respected people’s privacy, to which she replied: “Yes, I do.”

He then showed her a print of the article in the witness box before reading the headline: “Peter’s hung like a small chipolata, shaved, slobbery, lasts five minutes”.

He then read excerpts from the story, which included the line “he had the smallest trouser equipment I’ve ever seen” and managed “just five minutes of sex with Rebekah”.
