SHOCK! Peter Andre: Thug held a knife to my throat

Passer-by came to the singer's rescue

Monday, 9 November 2009

Peter Andre has revealed he once came close to being stabbed.

The singer, 36, was threatened by a group of thugs years before he married Jordan, 31.

'One night I went out quite late to get something from a shop,' explains Peter.

'As I was walking down the street I noticed a group of Middle Eastern guys. One broke away and grabbed me.

‘He pushed me against a wall, stuck a knife to my throat and shouted, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you." They started laughing.

‘Another one took his blade and ran it across my face. The first guy kept telling me I was the reason his brother was in hospital. I kept saying I had no idea what they were talking about.'

Fortunately, a passer-by came to Pete's rescue.

‘I was completely terrified,' he tells Live magazine. ‘Then I heard this woman I know running at me with her security. The gang legged it.'

Peter says the incident - which is thought to have taken place in his native Australia - left him needing therapy.

‘It got so extreme that I was having up to 20 panic attacks a day,' he adds. ‘I ended up checking into a psychiatric ward in New York. It was a really bad time.'
