Peter opened up on the podcast about how his body image struggles were at the hands of racist bullying in AustraliaGetty
Back in 2021, Peter had opened up about the reason he had decided to have cosmetic surgery after being targeted as child from suffering racist abuse from cruel bullies during his school days in Australia.
The star told how not only pupils, but even his teachers and neighbours mocked his appearance and heritage.
Referring back to those times on the podcast, Peter said: “I remember at school in Australia because everyone was really good-looking you know they had really small noses and so of course I’m going to stick out.
“I remember girls that I used to fancy so much and they’d be like urgh look at his nose I remember it all so clearly.
“Obviously as an adult looking back I’m thinking I should have just been proud of it but I couldn’t wait to get to the age where I could do something about it.”
“Now I was 24 or 25 it was after mysterious girl, I had my original nose so to speak and it was after that I did it but you’ll notice if you ever see pictures of me back then, I never looked side on if someone took a picture I always had to be front on and I always looked down and I did that because I hated what I saw,” he continued.
In order to fix his issue Peter explained how a he went to a cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles taking a picture of Hollywood Actor Robert Downey Jr with him.
“I took him a picture of Robert Downey Jr in the film Only You and Robert Downey Jr was just this freaking handsome guy and he’d always be side profile I’m like I want my nose to look like that so took a picture of it, took it to this doctor could you make me look like Robert Downey Jr.”
Abbey then asked: “What did he say?”
With Peter swiftly replying: “ I’m not a magician but he said I’ll tell you what I can make your nose much better now I’m not saying that my nose looks like Robert Downey Jr but what I will say is the minute that operation happened I felt a sense of relief.
“I can’t explain it I would start being confident to be side profile I’m doing it now and then something amazing happened I realised I’d been focusing on my body for so long to take the attention away from my face.
” So the minute this happened from 1997-98 I never took my shirt off again in any videos in anything I did because I didn’t feel I needed to do that,” he continued.
Over the years, the Dad-of-four has expressed concerns about plastic surgery worries for his own children especially daughter Princess Andre, 17.
Last year, a source revealed that the singer was anxious about the effect that his ex-wife Katie Price’s surgery obsession could have on their teen in relation to body image and self-confidence.
The insider explained, “While Princess insists she won’t go under the knife like her mum, Pete’s very aware how quickly things could change as she gets older, especially now she’s entered the modelling world.”
“Princess is a sensible girl but like all teens she’s impressionable and while Pete understands Katie is entitled to do what she likes with her body, he’s aware of the risk of some of it rubbing off on their daughter.”

1 week agoLatest NewsComments Off on Snooker star who was banned for corruption is just one win away from reaching UK Championship last 32
ZHAO XINTONG is one win away from reaching the UK Championship last 32 – two months after his corruption ban ended.
The amateur cueist, 27, eliminated Noppon Saengkham from Thailand 6-2 in the third round of qualifying in Leicester, hitting a high break of 127 in frame five.

Should he beat Englishman and World No.38 World Ricky Walden on Thursday in the final round of qualifiers, Xintong will face a seed in round five as the tournament is shown live on the BBC.
Xintong – the 2021 UK Champion – was one of ten Chinese players charged and banned for breaching match-fixing rules in June 2023.
He was given a 20-month suspension, which ended in September, though he did NOT fix a match himself.
Shaun Murphy – a former world snooker champion – said: “It has to be said that Zhao Xintong was at the very lower end of those bans.
“He was never accused of cheating. He was never accused of fixing any matches.
“He did know about it and of course that’s against the rules – he did not report it.
“Zhao Xintong is bloody good. He made 147s in back-to-back events and then opened his first qualifying match this week with a 146.
“It might be fair to say he’s done nothing in these 18 months but practice. He looks very, very sharp to me.
“There’s been quite a lot of fanfare around him, around his return, which I’ve not been 100 per cent sure about.
“But he was caught, he took his punishment on the chin, he admitted it straightaway, he paid all his fines, and since then has done everything right.
“There’s an element of rehabilitation, he’s done the crime and served his time and he’s back.”
Steve Davis also gave his verdict over his comeback.
He told SunSport: “It’s a bit like when people get accused of being a drug cheat.
“And all they have done is take social drugs. They weren’t trying to cheat by using performance-enhancing drugs.
“Zhao Xintong only got 20 months. He was not involved in deliberate match-fixing. What happened was he was one of the players who was aware of it and had a bet.
“Judging that there are different tariffs, I think there’s a different perspective to be had on that.
“I’d say that everybody is allowed a second chance. In Zhao Xintong’s perspective, he has had a slap on the wrist and let’s see how he performs after that.
“I don’t have a problem with Stephen Lee coming back in the game. He was totally stupid with what he was doing. As is anyone that breaks the rules. But there are slightly different standards.
“The problem is, it’s a cloud that is hanging over him. Because it’s going to be called ‘match-fixing’. He has to deal with that.
“Whether he can pick up the pieces is down to him. Hopefully he does. It would be sad if it didn’t happen for him.”

Alternatives
For those exploring kinky Advent calendars, Bondara and She Spot offer alternatives to Ann Summers’ range:
Bondara 12-Day Sugar and Spice Calendar: Priced at £59.99 (down from £130), it provides great value but lacks the luxury feel of Ann Summers. Its toys appear more budget-friendly, and it doesn’t have that wow factor.
She Spot 12-Day Luxury Calendar: At £95, this calendar includes high-end items like Agent Provocateur knickers and a crystal butt plug. With contents worth £350, it’s perfect for indulgence and feels like true luxury.
Ann Summers Advent Calendar review: the verdict
Olivia WestOverall, while it’s a bit vanilla, Georgie enjoyed trying out the contents of the Advent calendar[/caption]
12 Nights of Wonder Advent Calendar, £150 £120 from Ann Summers
This advent calendar is perfect for self-love enthusiasts and those exploring a variety of vibrators for the first time.
While a few items cater to couples and can enhance shared intimacy, the focus remains on solo exploration.
I really enjoyed locking myself away for a day and trying all the sex toys out — the curved rabbit really hit the spot.
Given Ann Summers’ reputation for stylish lingerie, it would have been nice to find some naughty knickers or cheeky festive items like Christmas pudding nipple pasties behind one of the windows to diversify the contents a bit.
Instead, it’s a vanilla selection, ideal for beginners but less suited for those seeking more daring or kink-specific products.
However, it’s perfect for anyone looking to explore sensuality in a playful and approachable way.
