Peter Andre devastated after being forced to miss Grease shows with mystery illness
PETER Andre has been left devastated after illness forced him to pull out of Grease shows in the West End.
The performer, who plays Vince Fontaine in the musical, has been absent from London's Dominion Theatre for four nights and is fighting to get better. Worried fans were left concerned when he was missing on stage.
A source close to Pete told The Sun: "Pete was raging he couldn't go to work and was devastated he had to miss his shows.
"He has been really poorly - he would never pull out of anything otherwise, he hates letting people down and hates being ill.
"He's so excited to go back tonight - he will definitely be on stage tonight."
Peter was replaced by Darren Bennett but fans were less than impressed when the singing legend was missing.
