Peter Andre is mulling over writing his own version of racy best-seller, ‘50 Shades of Grey’.

The reality TV star wants to pen a version of E. L. James’ saucy bondage novel as he feels left out when he sees girls reading it.

He told New! magazine: “Everyone’s talking about the book ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’, and us guys are feeling like we’re missing out! Even on my Twitter feed, people are talking about it and I don’t know what the heck’s going on!

“Can I read it or is it just for girls? Help me out! Thinking about it, I might write my own version of the book, just for blokes.”

Peter’s also been clowning around while filming his new show, ‘Peter Andre’s Bad Boyfriend Club’, disguising himself so the boyfriends he targets don’t recognise him.

He said: “It’s my favourite out of all the shows I’ve filmed. One of the stages involves me taking part in a sting on one of the bad boyfriends. I get to dress up in hilarious disguises.

“For one of the stings, I had to pretend to be an old man on a mobility scooter. I had to have prosthetics and everything! So far, every sting we’ve done has worked - no one has guessed it’s me!”

‘Peter Andre’s Bad Boyfriend Club’ starts on ITV2 on August 8.
