Pop star Peter Andre has been swamped by fans while filming 60 Minute Makeover in Medway.

The Mysterious Girl singer was spotted in Fairlead Close, Rochester, where he spent the day in front of the camera for the ITV show yesterday.

Word soon spread and a crowd of excited female fans gathered outside desperate to catch a glimpse of him.

Peter, 40, greeted the waiting crowd at about 6pm and spent time signing autographs and posing for pictures.

He later tweeted a photo of himself swamped by fans with the message: "Great day today. Thank you thank you :) #60minmakeover".

He was later spotted at the Malta Inn Beefeater, in Aylesford, where he posed for more pictures.

George O'Mahoney tweeted a photo and said: "What a nice man, definitely a celeb that has time for people."

Andre stayed at the Sir Thomas Wyatt Premier Inn, off London Road, in Allington, for the last two nights.

The singer - who was joined by brother Michael Andre, driver Carl Machin and a film crew - had kept a low profile until he dined in the hotel's Beefeater Grill last night.

Team leader Hannah Bamber said: "He sat away from everyone else, just tucked around the corner. No one knew he was there until he got up to go to the loo and then it just went mad.

"My manager had to stop loads of women trying to come in just to meet him.

"He was really nice and friendly. He posed for photos with fans and our staff. We'd definitely welcome him back."

It is thought Andre's 60 Minute Makeover will air in September, with the star fronting 30 hour-long programmes.

The show will see the presenter, who also has his own reality show My Life, leading a team of designers and decorators renovating homes across the country.

Earlier this year, he filmed other episodes of 60 Minute Makeover in Herne Bay and Faversham.
