Reality TV star Peter Andre has said he felt “a bit shocked” at the backlash over a film in which his character poses as a Jamaican gangster.

Jafaican, directed by British-Nigerian filmmaker Fredi Nwaka, follows Andre’s character, small-time crook Garry Buckle, as he immerses himself in Jamaican culture to con his way between London and the Caribbean island nation.
