He plays a pathologist, crime-solving doctor George, in The Sunshine Murders.
Set in Cyprus, the new series will be debuting on Channel 5 in September.
It stars Star Trek actress Marina Sirtis and ex-EastEnders star Nina Wadia.
Meanwhile, Peter recently addressed backlash from fans for his role in comedy film Jafaican.
He plays conman Gazza, who must master a Caribbean accent and culture to impersonate a notorious Jamaican gangster for a £3million payout.
Peter previously told The Sun: "When I read the script, I spent the whole time laughing.
'It was warm, with a deep, heartfelt message about what someone would do to care for the person that they love.
"It was also a beautiful tribute to Jamaica.
'But for me, working on Jafaican has been a dream come true.
'I know some people were a bit sceptical at first because we didn't know whether I could deliver what we had planned, but the reviews we've had have been phenomenal.
Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior
'I studied acting as a kid before going into music from 16, but I always knew I was going to come back to it.
"I always said to my dad, 'when I get to my 40s, I'm moving back into film, that's what I want to do'.'
However, fans were left cringing at Peter's attempt of doing a Jamaican accent.
One penned: "What is happening here lad?"
While another added: "LMFAO, this is the most original thing I've seen in a while."
A third chimed in: "This looks hilarious can't wait to see this."
Jafaican also stars Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas - known as bad boy Warren Fox.

Under-fire Love Islanders Meg and Dejon make massive change to social media after being axed from villa
The pair were dumped during last night's episode SAYS IT ALL Under-fire Love Islanders Meg and Dejon make massive change to social media after being axed from villa AFTER being dumped from the Love Island villa last night, Dejon Noel-Williams and Meg Moore have made a big change to their social media since being back on the outside world. The pair have been subject to plenty of criticism from their fellow islanders and ITV2 viewers over the past few weeks and have now turned off their comments on social media. 4 Love Island's Dejon and Meg have turned off their comments on social media Credit: ITV 4 The couple were sent home by the ex-islanders Credit: Eroteme This means that fans will not be able to comment on their posts on Instagram and share their opinions of them. The move comes after fans revealed they don't think the pair will last on the outside world and will split up straight away. Taking to X, one viewer penned: 'Lmaoo they aren't lasting outside the villa. Meg is gon bite off Dej's head and blame him for their dump #LoveIsland." Another commented: 'Dejon will dump Meg yards from the front door #loveisland." While a third added: '#LoveIsland Dejon and Meg are definitely NOT going to last on the outside. He'll dump her within days." However, the couple clearly don't agree with the viewers' sentiments and revealed their plan to 'prove everyone wrong'. When asked what was next for the pair, Meg responded: 'Proving to everyone we are actually going to stay together! 'Spending time together and introducing one another to family and friends.' Dejon, who apologised for his behaviour, echoed her words, adding: 'I definitely want to have a conversation with her family, get to know them and have her meet my family so they can see the real us. 'A lot of the Islanders saw how genuine we were and I have no doubt it will be like that with our families. Love Island OG's Meg and Dejon DUMPED by returning islanders 'After that, hopefully we can move in together as I can't imagine not living with her.' Meg and Dejon, who got into an argument this week, were voted out after former islanders delivered their brutal verdict by returning for a face-to-face vote. Viewers watched as the ex-Islanders stood up to give their reasons on why Dejon and Meg weren't compatible. After much back and forth, Meg and Dejon received 10 votes, while Angel and Ty received 8 votes. Some branded their romance as "staged" and expressed doubt about the authenticity of Dejon's feelings - after repeatedly insisting he was 'open.' And some fellow Islanders accused Dejon of "game playing" and wanting to appear genuine just for the cameras. Maya Jama also called him out for his behaviour and even took a brutal dig at Dejon, saying: "Dejon you're obviously very aware of the cameras." The two paired up from day one but found themselves at loggerheads due to Dejon's flirty antics with numerous bombshells throughout the series. They went exclusive just days after he returned from Casa Amor and shortly after, Dejon asked Meg to be his girlfriend, making them the only couple from this series to make it to this step in their relationship. In tonight's final, Jamie and Yasmin, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira and Ty and Angel will battle it out to be crowned this year's winners and take home the £50,000 cash prize. 4 The ex-islanders from this series had to choose the least compatible couple Credit: Eroteme

James Whale dead aged 74: Ex-Celebrity Big Brother star and radio legend has died after battle with cancer
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EX-CELEBRITY Big Brother star and radio legend James Whale has died aged 74 following a battle with cancer. The revered Talk presenter, who took part in the reality show in 2016, had been diagnosed with stage-four kidney cancer in 2020. 3 James Whale has died aged 73 following a battle with cancer Credit: PA 3 The star had featured in Celebrity Big Brother in 2016 and had a long established career in radio Credit: talktv 3 He had received an MBE in 2024 for his services to broadcasting and charity Credit: PA In a heartbreaking update during his show, James revealed this month he had just weeks to live as he moved into the final stages of his terminal battle. 'I'm actually in my last couple of weeks. Last time I saw my oncologist, he said I probably have only got weeks to go," James, 74, told viewers from his home on Saturday June 21. 'Over the 50 years, I have interviewed and chatted to some of the most amazing people. It may have been you. Maybe we'll catch up for the last time." On Monday it was revealed he was "happy to go now" after moving into a hospice. Later, when a viewer named Paula called in, he confessed how emotional he has been about his prognosis. He told her: "I spend a lot of time crying. And it really, it's a bit embarrassing, Paula, to be quite honest with you. 'I'm heading into the sunset and I talk about it regularly on the show and you know it's interesting because now everybody talks about it. "Not me, not mine, but their own, you know, they don't feel that they're doing it quite right without having a cancer to talk about." Back at the beginning of May, James told viewers that his condition had worsened, treatment was no longer working and he would "be lucky to make it to Christmas". He explained: "I'm at the end of my cancer journey. There is no treatment I can have anymore." That same month, James celebrated his 74th birthday with loved ones. Watch James Whale's ups and down in the Celebrity Big Brother house It comes after he spent Christmas in intensive care before being discharged from the ICU on December 30. His relieved wife Nadine told fans at the time: "After a worrying week I am happy to report that @THEJamesWhale is out of ICU and back at home, having batted off the Grim Reaper yet again. "This time he tried with a bout of Influenza A, but without success." After battling kidney cancer in 2000, James launched the charity Kidney Cancer UK to increase knowledge and awareness, funding research into the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease. He had fathered two kids with Melinda Maxted, James and Peter, before she herself was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. Melinda died in May 2018, just three months after James made the announcement of her diagnosis. In 2020, James revealed the disease had returned and spread to his spine, brain and lungs, and has shared his ongoing cancer battle candidly with listeners and viewers over the past few years. A year later, on his 70th birthday, James announced his engagement to Nadine Lamont-Brown, before marrying her in October of that year. The powerhouse presenter had been a staple of the airwaves for over 50 years and was awarded an MBE in the 2023 King's New Year Honours List for his outstanding contribution to broadcasting. At the time, he told The Sun: "I'm exceptionally thrilled as somebody who's been able to enjoy their job for their entire life and receiving an award like this is just the best." James celebrated the milestone with hundreds of pals at an £80,000 bash in Mayfair - paid for by millionaire Charlie Mullins and organised by his pals Chuck Thomas and Andre Walker. He had also received the first-ever TRIC Recognition Award for his outstanding work across 50 years. James began his career with Metro Radio in 1974 where he pioneered the concept of the late night radio phone-in. Five decades later, James was still heard hosting the phone-in, every Saturday night, on TalkTV and TalkRadio. His late-night series, the James Whale Show, which was broadcast live simultaneously on Radio Aire in Leeds and ITV in the 1980s, made the genre famous. In 1988, after gaining a loyal legion of listeners who loved his unique acerbic and incisive style, The James Whale Radio Show was simulcast live on television every Friday night on ITV, pulling in over one million viewers. 'GIANT OF RADIO AND TELEVISION' James went on to host Whale On, Dial Midnight and Central Weekend Live for ITV, Talk About for BBC One, and more recently appeared on Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother. 2008 saw his autobiography, A Lifetime Of Night-Time, published as well as him falling into hot water after he urged listeners on TalkSport to vote for Boris Johnson in that year's London mayoral election. The acerbic and outspoken host was reportedly suspended again in 2018 after appearing to laugh at a guest who was speaking about her rape on air. The much-loved presenter had also hosted a range of shows on BBC local radios and LBC, before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016 for its eighteenth series. He was the sixth person to be evicted on the reality show, coming in ninth place overall. Late in 2016, James began covering shows on TalkRadio, before becoming a host himself of a Monday to Thursday evening show. Most recently, he held the 10pm to 1am slot on a Friday night on TalkRadio, a time described as his "spiritual home". In early 2024, James was awarded the first ever TRIC Recognition Award for his 50 years in broadcasting, with his 'true grit and determination to entertain and inform the nation every week', not least in the face of his illness. At the time of the award, Richard Wallace, Head of TalkTV, said: 'There are legends - and then there's James Whale. "This award is a fitting acknowledgment of a maverick talent who has entertained TV and radio audiences with inimitable style for more than 50 years.' Dennie Morris, Director of Audio, News Broadcasting, added: 'James is not only a giant of radio and television, but one of the loveliest men I've ever met. "His contribution to the industry and to charity over the years has been remarkable. "I can think of no one more deserving of this honour.'

First look at Love Island final as stars glam up for last dates before live episode kicks off
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's final four couples will be treated to one final date before the winners are announced in tonight's live episode. Maya Jama will be on hand as Love Island couples Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes, Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood, Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer compete for the £50,000 prize.

Angel, 26, opted for a plunging black dress with a see-through lace skirt, while lady in red Yas, 24, stunned in a one shoulder frock complete with a thigh-high slash. Shakira, 22, opted for a blue satin number while Toni, 24, switched it up with a black bandeau top and matching tulle skirt. Last night Meg Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams were axed from the villa, just missing out on a place in the final, when ex-Islanders returned to cast the vote. And fans have backed their decision - insisting the controversial couple didn't deserve a spot in the final. Yas and Jamie, 26, are currently favourites to win the 2025 series. In a poll of Sun readers, they scored 28 per cent of the vote to scoop the prize, followed by Toni and Cach on 18.9 per cent and Shakira and Harry a whisker behind with 18.7 per cent. There's no denying Yas has been a stand-out Islander and made a splash the moment she entered the villa as a bombshell four days after the series kicked off. She stole the show when she offered 25-year-old Meg's boyfriend Dejon, 26, a threesome with her and Toni. And she had fans instantly obsessed with her perfect posture and quickly earned the nickname 'YasGPT' after a viral theory about her being an AI bot. Love Island in fix row as Yas lets slip she knows what the public call her and insisted she's not AI generated Yas has been fiercely loyal to pal Toni and last week - just days before the final - won praise from viewers when she told Jamie she doesn't see children in her future, despite him confessing a conflicting goal. One fan commented on social media at the time: 'Absolutely love her honesty. She could have been more ambiguous and led him down a path.' And another said: 'These are the kind of people who should be winning love island - setting an example of mature conversations.'
