“I do get annoyed at myself when I look back at how I said things or did things or the way I acted.”

He added: “I know I should be joyful about everything but the main thing is you get to a point where you realise you’ve grown up now.”

Josie chipped in to declare: “I’d have never have said that. I’ve always thought of you as the nicest man in showbiz.”

Pete shut that idea down, though.

He commented: “No, I’ve had my moments and I think everybody does.”

Viewers took to Twitter to comment on Pete’s admission – and were pretty mean to the Mysterious Girl icon.

What age is Peter Andre?

However, others were full of praise for Pete – and a little shocked that he’s been famous for 30 years given how young he looks.

Craig Doyle also came in for some praise from viewers too.

One commented: “Can’t believe Craig Doyle is 51 and Peter Andre, 49?! What’s the secret?!”

Pete, who turns 50 next year, was also praised for his youthful looks by Carol Vorderman as she stepped in for Lorraine Kelly on Lorraine.

She told him that a poll of viewers had put his average age at 34.

“I will take that,” Pete quipped.
