Peter Andre glad to have his six-pack abs back

However,the singer insists he has now bounced back with six-pack abs.

“When we split up,I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror and I locked myself in my manager’s house for five weeks,” the Mirror quoted Peter as saying.

“All my confidence vanished and I felt so anxious and stressed out that my appetite disappeared and I could barely eat. I dropped nearly three stone in three months – I went from 13st 8lb to 10st 12lb.

“Once I lost the weight,though,I was determined not to go back to the way I was and I feel much more confident about myself now.

“Exercise,sex and chocolate are great for making you feel good and I am doing two out of the three! I train for about an hour five days a week and feel I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I can eat what I want and that includes scoffing half a big bar of Cadbury’s a day.

“I love the fact that I have a six-pack – which I haven’t had for years. I’m the same weight I was in the Mysterious Girl days 15 years ago – I feel more energetic and younger.

“OK,I’m getting a few lines but when you get to your mid-30s they start to creep up and you have to let it happen. Each week I’m getting stronger – and I feel a million times better than I did a couple of months ago. I’ve had one panic attack since the split but,thankfully,I haven’t had any more.

“To say I’m 100 per cent back to my old self would be wide of the mark but I reckon I’m 90 per cent there,” he added.
