Peter Andre lands first TV drama role in mystery murder show after his film Jafaican faced race row backlash
Reality star Peter Andre, known for his lightweight showbusiness appearances, is all set to star in his first straight TV drama role - as a Greek pathologist! The Sunshine Murders, a mystery murder show, shot by Cork Films, whose guest stars will include Stephanie Beacham, Camilla Rutherford and Nick Moran is due to start on Channel 5 in September. And Peter, who was brought up in Australia, will take a starring role having been specially chosen by Anglo - Antipodean film makers, mother and daughter team, Merryn and Emily Corcoran. Peter will be in serious mode as he swops his usual casual look of trendy torn jeans and trainers for a white doctor's coat and clinical rubber gloves as he examines victims of gruesome murders. He caused a stir earlier this year with his comic impression of a Jamaican Rasta criticised as politically incorrect casting for the film Jafaican. But now the ex Strictly star is back in more familiar territory - his parent's homeland of Cyprus filming in Paphos and Larnaca, near Kiti (where he still has a villa). His eldest son, Junior, even visited him on set with Merryn sharing some photos to Instagram. Peter said he faced a 'hard challenge' filming controversial movie Jafaican - which has been branded 'profoundly disrespectful' amid an ongoing 'race row' backlash. The singer has now discussed how he prepared for the 'challenging' role, which required him to wear dreadlocks and adopt a Jamaican accent to play con artist Gary Buckle. The Mysterious Girl hitmaker also plays Denton 'Kill Man' Powell in Fred Nwaka's blockbuster, which was released at Odeon cinemas on May 20. 'I think that with the Jamaican side of it, the Patois parts were dubbed over by a Jamaican actor but instead of me miming over the Patois, I had to learn all the [words] that were delivered on screen,' he told the Daily Star in a recent interview. 'They dubbed over me, so that was a real challenge but it was one that I absolutely loved doing.' The British-Australian TV star revealed he 'loved' playing Gary because he 'really felt the character'. He added: 'Playing Denton I found really a great challenge, I absolutely loved that character. I loved the seriousness of him, the tone changes and it was a brilliant part to play.' The I'm A Celebrity alum has under fire publicly, and defended his choice to take on the controversial during a recent appearance on This Morning. Peter appeared on the sofa alongside director and friend Fredi to chat to Alison Hammond, 52, and Dermot O'Lear y, 51 - with plenty of fans raising complaints. During his appearance, Peter and Fredi opened up about the three-year process of creating the film, and how much thought had gone into it and how surprised they have been over the negative comments about it. Peter said to Alison and Dermot: 'If at any point where anyone said "This is not right, we shouldn't do it"... 'That's why we were shocked. We had approval from everyone, we laughed. Laughed so much doing it. We were a little bit like...' He added: 'I've always said if someone is genuinely offended by something, you need to hear them. 'The problem is when you get people that are offended, but they you go "What are you offended about?" 'And they're like...' The pair urged viewers to go and watch the film for themselves to make their own opinion on it, rather than just viewing the trailer.

Weekly Young and the Restless Spoilers July 14-18: A Killer Twist at Cane's Party
The Young and the Restless spoilers for July 14-18, focus on Cane's party taking a sudden turn in tone, and Lily's world is turned upside down. Meanwhile, Jack teaches Billy a painful lesson, and Audra and Kyle finally cross the line. Since Lily (Christel Khalil) came back into Cane's life, he has been carrying a serious torch. And Lily clearly hasn't felt the same. Or she's tried to make herself believe that. Instead, she grew closer to Damian (Jermaine Rivers). So it's no shock to see that on Monday, Cane (Billy Flynn) confronts Damian about his feelings for Lily. Cane has spied some close, intimate moments between Damian and Lily, and he has quietly seethed over them. But next week is when things take a turn at this endless summer soiree in the South of France. As a result, Chance (Conner Floyd) does what Cane brought him there to do: He investigates a crime. In this case, if you watched Y&R's next week on preview, then you know something happens to Damian. And from here on out, the party and escape room experience turns into an Agatha Christie-type murder mystery. This whole scenario causes Amanda (Mishael Morgan) to question Cane's motives, and before the week is out, Cane is forced to defend himself. Who else has a motive to off Damian? Was Damian the original target? Who will materialize as a person of interest? READ THIS: Here's what's coming up next on Y&R. Cane has trapped Genoa City's power players for long enough, and Nick (Joshua Morrow) takes it upon himself to devise an escape plan. Apparently, he won't do what Adam (Mark Grossman) did and walk his way down the mountain. It might be too treacherous for some. What does he come up with? Ziplining? Plus, later in the week, look for Nick to make a shocking discovery. What does he find? Meanwhile, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Billy (Jason Thompson) are at each other's throats again, and Jack is, understandably, wary about his brother's latest plan. Billy, in essence, is giving up on taking his start-up, Abbott Communications, to new heights in favor of joining Cane in taking Chancellor from Victor. Only he and Cane haven't talked about this. Well, Jack, who funded Billy's venture, is done with Billy not focusing on Abbott Communications. Instead, his brother is leaning into vengeance on Victor (Eric Braeden). And Jack hates that Billy decided to hand over the launching duties and the company to Sally (Courtney Hope) while he focuses on Chancellor. As a result, watch for Jack to teach Billy a painful lesson. Does he pull his funding, or something even worse? READ THIS: Full List of Daytime Emmys 2025 Nominations. Finally, this should come as no surprise. Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) have been spending their time in Nice exchanging flirtatious banter under the guise of this Jabot/Vibrante marketing campaign. Look for these two to cross the line. Here's what we're wondering. Will Audra tell Victor what happened? Because that would violate the contract Kyle signed stating he would never hurt Claire (Hayley Erin). And if he did, he'd have to leave town. What's about to happen here? Got a can't-miss theory?
