Peter Andre Upsetting The Locals In Malta
Locals in Malta are in uproar after singer Peter Andre was appointed cultural ambassador to the island’s capital city Valletta.
Still reeling from the honorary citizenship given to Latin pop star Enrique Iglesias, in 2008, residents branded this celebrity title “100 times worse.”

I won't be signing but haha
But Peter Andre... maaaannnn who came up with this idea. At least one could have got a proper singer like Bono from U2... jeeeeze
I will keep checking the comments on the article as I can see they may get pretty funny
Sounds like the town residents are being a bit snobbish because of who he is. Thing is, if the town needs tourists to survive and they aren't getting the numbers there atm then maybe this is the way to do it.
There's one thing being snobbish and being able to afford being a snob, different if they are being snobbish but can't afford NOT to get free publicity from someone on the telly, who will say nice things about the place.
At least this way they get free publicity for the place and they don't have to pay a penny for a tourist information tv placement
Good marketing ploy to me.
"Malta, right... it's proper nice. Me mum loves it and my kids... my kids... they love it too, right, kids?"
*kids ignore their father and play with toys*
"Yeah, they love it mate. Proper honoured by this, I am and me mum's dead proud too. If only my brother could have lived to see the day...*
*looks into distance wistfully, tries to cry*
"Cut it off now. Please. I need a personal moment...", says the man who has a film crew follow him and his entire family around for money.
Hideous decision by the council. I've been there twice and I know how gorgeous a city Valletta is and how lovely Malta is. If I hadn't been, Andre's endorsement of it would shove it to the bottom of my list of places to go.
Stick to vacuous monstrosities like Dubai!
We get the picture.
Didn't his programme get into trouble in the past promoting a hotel or cruise?
^ This. Dubai is his perfect brand match. Sleazy, tacky, garish and soulless.
I think it was an airline.
I think that may be an understatement
From the ratings thread,
From the moment I saw him simulating sex with Jordan it comfirmed he was a cultured man.
Sounds like they only give it to someone that turns up. same with Father of the Year travellodge event...
The reference to Andre's "show on iTV" - the unimaginatively titled reality programme 'My Life' - brings me to the second complaint. Andre may have become a household name following the release of his hit single Mysterious Girl, but that was in 1995. Since then, he has been more famous for the high-profile on-off romance with his former wife, the glamour model and tabloid mainstay Katie 'Jordan' Price, than for any contributions to pop music.
Embarrassmentage.
So has someone changed their mind then, as Peter Andre has kept becoming Cultural Ambassador to Valletta rather quiet........
"It looks as though the Valletta Local Council - who "unanimously" approved the decision to nominate Andre - were keen to sweep the accolade under the carpet as soon as it was given. Does the fact that they seemed to be aware of the backlash such a decision would doubtlessly inspire make things better or worse?"
JOIN PETER ANDRE and his new hit show THE LOVE BOAT around Valletta singing dancing and talking about his kids and brother what more do you need?
Watch peter andre find locals in Valletta and invite them on his boat to find love...like he has found with EMILY!
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK!
Ditto.
I really thought that Malta considered itself to be more upmarket than the Costas.
Why on earth does anyone consider this laughable has-been to be any kind of cultural ambassador to the island’s capital city Valletta?
He's an abomination.;)
Whatever numpty who gave PA - who seems to resemble an overgrown two-year-old at the best of times - this position has just insulted every vaguely intelligent human being on the planet. Shameful.
