Peter Andre has opened up about a terrifying ordeal where he was targeted by a persistent stalker who sent him numerous death threats during his daughter Princess' ITV show, The Princess Diaries.
During a deep chat with her dad, the 18-year-old opened up about the "weird messages" she received online - leaving Peter horrified. Princess revealed people would ask to see feet pics, with others asking if she was now legal.
Expressing why he was so worried Peter explained: "I had one stalker, who was a violent stalker that had threatened to kill me on one of the shows. I was touring with Bobby Brown, and on the night of the Sydney show, 26 police officers came and surrounded the building," he said. It comes after Katie Price worries fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss.

"They thought the guy was going to come and kill me that night," Peter explained, leaving his daughter in utter shock. He then revealed he was 19 at the time.
Peter has previously spoken about the terrifying ordeal, shortly after Strictly's Shirley Ballas' stalker, Kyle Shaw, had been sentenced.
Kyle Shaw, 37, pleaded guilty at Liverpool's Crown Court on February 25, admitting the charges that took place between August 31, 2017, and November 9, 2023.
In his column for OK!, the father-of-five shared his own chilling experience with a stalker, which led to 26 police officers being called to the venue where he was performing in Australia due to the barrage of death threats he had received.
He penned: "I was reading about Shirley Ballas's stalker avoiding jail. It's strange – I think some people read these terrible stories and somehow don't believe they're real. They're very real. It happens to a lot of people in the public eye."
He went on to say: "Now, you may not believe me but it happened to me. In 1992 or 93, I was touring with Bobby Brown in Australia.
"At one of the concerts in Sydney, there were 26 police at the venue who were present on this particular night because of a series of death threats that had been made to me from someone who'd been stalking me for a long time. One day, I'll tell the whole story.."
Peter previously demanded action to "eliminate" the crime of stalking following Shirley's terrifying experience which grabbed headlines.
In an earlier column, the pop star revealed he'd "seen a lot of stories about stalking", including a disturbing incident involving tennis ace Emma Raducanu.
The 22 year old was compelled to halt a match against Karolina Muchova at the Dubai Tennis Championships after spotting a man in the crowd who had given her a letter at her hotel the day before.
"It's really interesting because stalking has been going on for years," Peter said.
"I remember the 1992 movie, The Bodyguard, focused on the stalking of celebrities. Social media isn't helping, as it makes it easier to track someone down. But this has been going on for a long time and I hope we find a way to eliminate this sort of thing. My thoughts are with both Shirley and Emma."
