Peter Andre gyrated with a former cabinet minister and led a conga before making a swift exit out of a fire door during a performance at the Conservative Party Conference.

The singer played his hits “Mysterious Girl” and “Insania” as well a several covers during the 30-minute set in Birmingham’s Mooncat bar on Tuesay night.

The 51-year-old joked the Tories had tried to “book Robbie Williams but he wouldn’t come” before launching into his set.

A rendition of Bob Marley & The Wailers “Three Little Birds”, which contains the lyrics “don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright”, was a particular hit with the Conservative crowd.

Andre and his backup dancers conga-lined through the crowd before jumping on a table to dance as he sung Steve Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed & Delivered”.

Ex Health Secretary Thérèse Coffey appeared enthralled by the performance, gyrating with the singer on the dance floor.

Members of Tory leadership contender Kemi Badenoch’s team were also spotted in the crowd as well as former Darlington MP Peter Gibson.

However, rival Tom Tugendhat’s campaign were not in the audience after the shadow security minister reportedly advised them not to attend over party sponsor TikTok’s links with China.

Andre did not stick around to chat after his performance.

At the end of a bumper rendition of his most famous hit “Mysterious Girl”, in which members of the crowd joined him on stage, he danced his way out of the fire exit and disappeared.

TikTok and UKMusic also threw a party at the Labour Conference in Liverpool last week.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy celebrated Britney Spears, dedicating “Toxic” to the Conservatives, during a DJ set at the event, which also saw a performance by Pop Idol winner Will Young.

“If you don’t like Britney Spears, get out of my nightclub,” Ms Nandy told the throng of spectators, before adding: “It’s Nandy bitch” - a nod to the pop princess’s hit “Gimme More”.

The four Conservative leadership candidates vying to replace Rishi Sunak will make their final pitch to the party's conference in Birmingham on Wednesday.

Robert Jenrick, Ms Badenoch, Mr Tugendhat and James Cleverly have 20 minutes each.

Tory MPs will then pick a final two next week before party members vote for a winner due to be announced on November 2.
