The singer has revealed his mum and dad Thea and Sawas Andre warned him not to tie the knot with the busty beauty – who he separated from in May 2009 after three-and-a-half years of marriage – but he didn’t take any notice of their warning.
When asked what has been the best piece of advice he has ever received, Peter said: “Don't get married. It's the truth isn't it? They told me that before I got married, they tell me that now. It's the best bit of advice, I guess?”
Although he didn’t accept his parents’ advice, the 38-year-old star – who is appearing in new TV show ‘Peter Andre: Here 2 Help’, in which he answers requests from the British public to change things they are unhappy with in their lives – has been sharing his own wisdom with his and Katie’s two kids, Junior, six, and four-year-old Princess Tiaamii.
He added to BANG Showbiz: “(I’ve told them) to love their mother and father, that's the best advice I could ever give them.”
Although Peter is confident about his parental skills, he admits he isn’t much of dating guru.
The ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer – who is currently single after splitting from from Spanish model Elen Rivas – said: “I'm not very good at giving dating advice, hello I'm single, I just kind of find out what they (the girls) like. For example if someone comes up and says to me, ‘I really like a guy, do I dress up over the top and make a really big effort.’ And as a guy I personally wouldn't like that, I'd prefer it if a girl was in her trackies (tracksuit bottoms). I'm not great at giving dating advice, I just know what I like.”
‘Peter Andre: Here 2 Help’ airs on ITV2 at 9.00pm tonight (14.07.11).
