Heart throb and Top 10 singer-songwriter, Peter Andre, wowed West End audiences in a brief, yet satisfying one-off portrayal of Sam Wheat in Ghost The Musical, a role made famous by the late, great Patrick Swayze in the blockbuster hit film, Ghost. The sultry Anglo-Australian joined a host of other glittering celebrities, including former Spice Girl, Melanie C, X-Factor finalist, Stacey Solomon, and English pop girl group, Sugababes, who willingly gave their time and talent to the BBC Children in Need Pop Goes the Musical.

In an incisive West End debut, the popular TV personality stepped into the seasoned shoes of incumbent star, Richard Fleeshman, albeit momentarily. Eagerly watched by local luminaries and theatre buffs who packed the stalls at London’s Piccadilly Theatre, Andre presented a powerful rendition of one of the most recorded songs of the 20^th century, The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 hit single, Unchained Melody.

Acting alongside Caissie Levy as Molly in the poignant pottery scene, Peter Andre liberally added star sex appeal in an effort to emulate the inimitable ‘dirty dancing’ of  Swayze, a man branded one of the sexiest and most romantic lead actors in Hollywood until his untimely death from pancreatic cancer. All the proceeds of the flamboyant charity show, which comprises hit songs from popular West End musicals including Mamma Mia, We Will Rock You and Wicked, go towards changing the lives of some of the most disadvantaged children in the United Kingdom, including youngsters with disabilities and victims of poverty, abuse and neglect.
