Peter Andre has been hailed a “hero” after squeezing through a toilet window to free his eight-year-old son Theo during a family holiday in Cyprus.
The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, was visiting Camel Park in Mazotos, billed as Europe’s largest camel park, with his children when the youngster became trapped inside a public toilet during a day out at the popular animal sanctuary.
Andre quickly sprang into action, climbing onto the side of the building and manoeuvring himself through an open rear window while onlookers cheered him on.
Footage posted to Instagram shows the Australian pop star lowering his son safely to the ground before realising he too was stuck, eventually needing a helping hand to wriggle back out.
“Saved the day, and I’m still embarrassed,” he later joked to his 1.8 million followers, sharing a clip of Theo, his son with second wife Emily MacDonagh, complaining about the heat inside the unventilated cubicle.
Fans were quick to praise the father of five’s quick thinking. One wrote: “In all seriousness, well done superhero.”
Another added: “Where’s the gratitude for saving the day… not embarrassing. Well done.”
Others could not resist commenting on his rescue attire, with one quipping: “And all that while wearing flip flops!” while another said: “Some heroes don’t need capes.”
Elsewhere, Andre has been embracing a new musical direction, swapping his chart friendly pop hits for a reggae infused sound.
His latest track, teased on Instagram this week, sees him singing about his “island girl” over a laid back beat. “If summer was a song, this would be it. Heatwave incoming… new album dropping soon,” he wrote in the caption.
It comes after Andre faced backlash earlier this year for his role in Fredi Nwaka’a Jafaican, a film in which he plays a conman adopting Jamaican culture to commit fraud, complete with fake dreadlocks and a dubbed Jamaican accent.
Despite the furore, the film was well received by audiences and there is even talk that a sequel could be in the works.
Andre has also recently been seen making an appearance in teenage daughter Princess Andre’s new ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries.
