Peter Andre is set to extend his filmography as he appears in a brand new horror film about strippers set to premiere next month.
The I’m A Celebrity star is among the cast of Member’s Club, which has its world premiere at FrightFest in London on August 24.
Member’s Club is among a stacked roster of horror films from across the world for the annual event, including Demi Moore’s controversial Cannes film The Substance, Kyle Gallner-starring Strange Darling, and Elijah Wood’s Bookworm.
The film is described as The Full Monty meets horror, with Andre joined by Dean Kilbey, Perry Benson, and Steve Oram in the cast.
The synopsis for the upcoming horror comedy reads: ‘The Full Monty goes all the way with full horror and hilarity where old members are more than welcome. Wet Dreams, a middle-aged male stripper group has hit rock bottom.
‘After a string of disastrous gigs, the gang considers disbanding. Alan (Kilbey), the group’s happy-go-lucky frontman, takes over the business and books the boys a lucrative and mysterious gig in rural Essex.
‘But when the group arrives at the desolate club, their night quickly takes a dark turn when they find themselves tangled up in a plot to raise a murderous 16th-century witch from the dead.’
Andre appears in Member’s Club as Adonis, with a poster for the film showing the pop singer sporting a flowing brunette wig for the occasion.
It’s the reality TV star’s first foray into the world of horror after previously landing film roles in David Brent: Life on the Road, Keith Lemon: The Film, and On The Other Foot, in which he starred with son Junior Andre.
Last year, the star revealed an ‘epic’ film about his life is in the works, though details have been kept very much under wraps.
The dad-of-five, who dominated the charts in 1996 with his number two hit Mysterious Girl took to Instagram to share the exciting news.
‘Very, very exciting news (for me anyway),’ the 50-year-old began in a Story.
‘Incredible meeting about doing a film on my life. This is gonna be EPIC,’ he teased, before adding: ‘Watch this space…’
The star also shared the update to his Instagram grid in almost identical words, however, he also shared: ‘I’m looking forward to embarking on this journey through the magic of the lens.’
He has also been spotted filming in Sheffield for upcoming film Bullet, with his character described by writer Shaba Karim as ‘dark…with a twist.’
‘One of the characters in the film, a character called Flux, is going to be played by Peter Andre. As soon as I put pen to paper, Peter came into my head for his character. He’s so versatile, and it’s Peter like you’ve never seen him before,’ he told The Star.
‘Peter’s character in the film is a dark character, but a character with a twist.
Frightfest takes place at The ODEON Luxe Leicester Square from August 22 to 26.
