Junior Andre has signed up to his famous dad Peter Andre’s acting agency in a bid to follow in his footsteps.
Back in 2022, Junior, 20, had a promising music career as his debut single Slide hit No1 in the UK’s iTunes pop chart, with his follow-up track Only One also bagging the top spot a year later.
The son of Mystery Girl singer Peter and glamour model mum Katie Price, went on to sign his first record deal but in the months that followed, a number of delays appeared to stall the release of any further tracks.
While he’s remained in the spotlight, things have been pretty quiet of late on the music front, however it seems he is now hoping to break into the TV and film industry.
Junior has now signed to talent management company Ignite Elite Artists, which was set up in 2011 with it’s headquarters in Sydney, Australia.
The talent agency has since opened divisions in the UK and Los Angeles.

Last year, the firm said its expansion to the UK is a ‘natural progression’ and ‘signifies Ignite’s dedication to fostering exceptional talent and facilitating unparalleled opportunities within the dynamic realms of film, television, and entertainment.’
Discussing the expansion to the UK last year, CEO Kiera Horner, said: ‘We believe this expansion presents incredible opportunities for our talent.
‘By bridging the three major international film industries, we aim to provide unparalleled support to our artists while catering to the diverse needs of casting directors.
‘Our ultimate goal is to propel the careers of our talents both domestically and on the global stage.’
Ignite’s other clients include Amanda Clapham (Hollyoaks), and Ethan Dillon (Vikings), Annie Rose Buckley (Saving Mr Banks), Carrie Schroeder (I Am Frankie), Zoe Sheridan (The Daisy Chain), and many more.
Junior will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his dad, who appeared in controversial film On The Other Foot in 2021, and his mum Katie has previously acted in pantomimes.
The aspiring stars younger sister Princess Andre has also stepped into the spotlight recently after she starred in her own ITV reality show.
Peter looked completely different in Fredi Nwaka’s film On The Other Foot, which he played a racist thug named Justin.

‘All of yous, bloody scum,’ a scarred Peter, who wears a black beanie, tells the man in one scene.
On The Other Foot follows racist lead character Billy Pitcher (played by actor Tim Faraday) who wakes up in the body of a black man (Aurie Styla).
Before finding himself in someone else’s body, Billy expresses his anger after his daughter Claire (played by actress Lily Smith) brings home her boyfriend Luke (Chidi Ajufo) who is black.
The film also stars Lady Leshurr and Judith Jacob.
It’s not Peter’s first time in front of a camera, with the star also starring in 2018’s short independent film, The Inheritance.
The role saw Peter heavily tattooed with a slew of piercings and even track marks on his arms.
Peter played the troubled character of Harry, a suicidal heroin act.

Speaking about the exciting new venture at the time, Peter said in his New! magazine column: ‘I had a great time filming in Los Angeles.
‘I’ve got the acting bug. Although it can be full-on, I can honestly say shooting was an incredible experience. It was intense and very dark. I can’t wait to see the edit.
‘Becoming the character took months of preparing and thankfully it paid off. I’ll be going back later in the year to film more.
‘In fact, it looks like I’m going to be spending a lot more time in America, this year, so I’m lucky to have such, trusting wife and family,’ he concluded.
