Peter Andre mortified after huge live TV blunder
Peter Andre has opened up in his exclusive column with OK! this week about what he calls one of the 'most embarrassing moments of his life', as he gives his take on Lady Gaga 's recent tumble during a recent gig in the U.S.
The Abracadabra hitmaker was kicking off the Mayhem Ball at T-Mobile Arena on July 16 in Las Vegas, Navada - and was seen losing her balance and falling over, as she approached the barricade to interact with fans, during a rendition of her song Vanish Into You.
In videos posted online, the star could be seen slipping as she walked past a cameraman, who nearly lost his footing too, just before she rather ironically sang the lyrics, 'Into the night … we fall,' and then hit the ground, landing on her backstage - before getting up like a pro and continuing her walk by the brricade.
Peter, who is famed for his 90s hit Mysterious Girl and currently working on a new album, said of the incident: "I saw Lady Gaga 's awkward faceplant at a gig. It's awful when that happens. But I doubt she'll be having sleepless nights over it – these things happen during live shows."
He added, referring to the moment Queen of Pop Madonna took a stumble down some steps during the 2015 Brit Awards while performing Living for Love before confessing he's felt the heat of similar embarrassment: "Look at the Madonna incident, for example. Admittedly, on a smaller scale, it happened to me once on the T4 stage. Walking down steps, I tripped and fell. It was so embarrassing – and it was on TV. But people forget… until you remind them about it, which I just did."
During an episode of Sky's Extraordinary Life Stories in 2023, , Peter opened up on the memorable slip-up while performing live on stage, recalling the cringeworthy moment at the T4 on The Beach festival in 2009 to host, John Reynolds.
The dad-of-four said: "I appeared on the episode to discuss lots of topics, including my childhood, career highlights and family life. We also discussed the funny moments in my career, including my unfortunate trip off the stage at T4 On The Beach, among other things."
The mishap occurred while Peter was performing his then-new song Behind Closed Doors. He lost his footing while singing to the capacity crowd and ended up falling completely off the stage, losing his glasses in the process. However, like a pro, he carried on and didn't let the fact his glasses slid off his face stop him from finishing his song.

STV warns over profits as advertising market slumps and TV projects delayed
Shares in the London-listed business plunged by about a quarter on Monday morning following the update. STV said it was now expecting full-year revenue and adjusted operating profit to be 'materially below' a consensus of analysts. Revenues are predicted to range between £165 million and £180 million for 2025. The company said it was now targeting £2.5 million worth of cost savings this year – higher than the £1.7 million outlined in March – having launched a significant savings programme last year, including across its broadcast operations. STV blamed worsening conditions in the commissioning and advertising markets in recent months for the profit and sales downgrade. Advertising revenues for the period between July and September is forecast to decline by 8%, lower than previously expected, driven by a sharp 20% drop in July, it told investors. The year-on-year decline is set to be impacted by particularly strong sales this time last year, due to the men's Euro football tournament being broadcast on TV. It follows a 10% fall in advertising revenues over the first half of 2025. A number of businesses, including WPP and S4 Capital, have flagged a worsening advertising market as more challenging economic conditions prompt clients to reign in marketing spending. Furthermore, STV warned the uncertainty was causing significant deterioration in the commissioning market. It said projects within its unscripted labels were being impacted with some in advanced development not getting the green light, and others being delayed into 2026. Nevertheless, it highlighted strong progress within its scripted labels with current projects including for Netflix, Apple, Sky and the BBC. Rufus Radcliffe, STV's chief executive, said: 'The deteriorating macroeconomic backdrop continues to lower business confidence impacting both markets in which we operate. 'STV Studios' delivery schedule for the remainder of 2025 has been impacted by the UK commissioning market, which has further weakened at the end of H1 (the first half of 2025) and into the second half of the year.' But he said production had finished on 'key titles with international appeal, including high-end drama Amadeus for Sky and a third series of Blue Lights for BBC One'. 'We are proactively responding to market conditions through a combination of investing in targeted future growth initiatives aligned with our long-term strategy and identifying efficiency and cost saving opportunities across the business,' Mr Radcliffe added.
