You’ve probably seen the story doing the rounds today that Peter Andre had issued an edict telling people not to touch him or take selfies because of fears over coronavirus.

It prompted lots of piss taking as you might imagine, complete with photos of a notice purporting to tell his fans to keep their mitts to themselves.

Anyway, now the singer’s taken to Twitter to put the rumours to rest. Although the way he did it was also very funny and managed to have both his cake and eat it.

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 😂 pic.twitter.com/uLm1HeM7Re

Yep, hits exactly the right note.

Very classy response. Deserves a bit more attention. https://t.co/99Oquy9VBe
