Andre gets new wheels for special day

Peter Andre bought himself a Ferrari for his birthday.

The ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer – who is dating Spanish model Elen Rivas – turned 38 on February 27 and admits he is “obsessed” with the luxury vehicle he purchased as a late gift to himself.

He said: “I bought a new car last week as a belated birthday present to myself. It’s a Ferrari California and I’m obsessed with it. I first saw it on ‘Top Gear’ and, being the car geek that I am, I just had to have it.

“I call it the ‘Fezza’ for short and I’ve spent the last week taking everyone out for a spin in it. Elen particularly loves the red leather interior, as it’s her favourite colour. I took her to a lovely Asian restaurant near my house the other day and picked her up in the ‘Fezza’. She loved it!”

While Peter is enjoying driving his new car, he won’t have many opportunities to get behind the wheel in the immediate future as he is going on holiday with his two children Junior, five, and three-year-old Princess Tiaamii – his kids with ex-wife Katie Price.

Writing in his new! magazine column, he revealed: “I’m packing for a skiing trip at the weekend with the kids. I can’t wait and think we’re all going to have an absolute ball.”
