Pop star Peter Andre has made a surprise appearance in Herne Bay today.

The Mysterious Girl singer was spotted in Beacon Hill early this morning, filming for his new ITV1 show.

Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover will air in September, with the star fronting 30 hour-long programmes.

It will see the presenter, 40, leading a team of designers and decorators renovating homes across the country.

A home on Salisbury Road is set to feature.

Dozens have spent time standing outside to catch a glimpse of the star.

Film crews arrived in the town at about 9am before beginning the makeover at the address at about midday.

Peter briefly left the set to greet waiting fans outside the home.

Tam Jones, 38, of Eider Close, Herne Bay, said: "I'm shaking. It has been worth the wait.

"I was too busy giving him a kiss to get a picture with him. I will never wash my cheek again.

"Oh my God, I can't believe it. I never thought I would meet him."

Phoebe Shilling, 19, met Peter at Beacon Hill.

She said: "He was a really nice man, very polite and had a lot of time for people, stopping to say hello."
