Peter Andre has revealed he has been "grabbed inappropriately" by fans on several occasions.
During a discussion about sexual harassment on Loose Women, the musician and presenter said incidents had taken place during performances and appearances.
“It has happened many times back in the day when I did shows and even now you do an appearance and someone will grab you.
“There have been times it’s been slightly inappropriate, and in front of my wife someone’s done it.”
He continued: “The way I always looked at it was they’re not doing anything malicious, they’re just having fun.”
"We also have to understand there are people who are not okay with it. Just because I was okay. Personally I think they didn’t mean anything, but you have to think about those who get affected."
Andre was appearing on a special guest panel for Valentine’s Day with Jamie Lomas, Kem Cetinay and Gok Wan.
Former Hollyoaks actor Lomas also shared a story of a time he’d been groped by a member of the public.
“I was in a petrol station once with my two children and a hen’s bus came along, I walked in and this girl came up and asked for a picture,” he explained
"Her mate came out of the station, recognised me and grabbed me by the crotch area. In front of my children.”
Loose Women continues weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.
