Peter Andre has hilariously shut down reports that he refused to take selfies with his fans during a Q&A in Southampton due to coronavirus fears. The Mysterious Girl singer shared a screenshot of an article suggesting that attendees were told not to touch him during the event, and captioned the post: "Ok this must be a wind up because I hugged everyone I met. People were saying to me that they had been told not to touch me and that there were signs. I thought they were joking. Brilliant. I am now officially a diva without being a diva. On a serious note though don’t touch me."
Peter joked about the sign
Fans confirmed that they had taken snaps with him, with one commenting: "Um. We’ve hugged. Is that still ok?!" Peter replied: "You're screwed," with a laughing crying emoji. Another added: "That’s actually so funny. I mean on the bright side, if people were told that, obviously they think you’re worth the risk." A third person pointed out that it would have been fair enough if Peter told fans not to touch him, writing: "Why do people think they have the right to touch you anyway? And I think at this time you are right not to touch anyone as you have children to think about."
