ITV renews Peter Andre deal

ITV today renewed its exclusive deal with Peter Andre, keeping his reality TV series on ITV2. Earlier this week ITV2 signed Kerry Katona as the digital channel bids to compensate for the loss of Katie Price to rival Living . ITV2 will broadcast several more series of Peter Andre: The Next Chapter as part of the deal. Andre is also developing a show for ITV2, more details of which will be announced early in the new year. The agreement, which extends ITV's existing six-year relationship with Andre, has been reached with his production company, Can Associates TV. Price, ITV2's biggest reality TV star, signed to BSkyB-owned Living and sister channel Bravo in June. Katona was last on TV in Channel 4's Cutting Edge in June and is set to appear on ITV1's Dancing on Ice in January. • To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email [email protected] or phone 020 3353 3857.
