You are about to see the opening sequence of Peter Andre � Going It Alone, first broadcast at 9.00 pm on ITV2 on Monday 17 August 2009.

The television documentary promised to give viewers exclusive access to Peter Andre's new life since the media frenzy over his separation from wife Katie Price (also known as Jordan, the glamour model). The programme promoted the singer launching his brand new single and preparing for the release of his new album.

A press release, distributed by ITV2 to promote the new programme, stated: 'With the cameras documenting his every move, viewers will get an insight into the life of one of TV's most talked about stars.' Peter Andre said: "I'm so pleased to be working with ITV2 again."

CAN Productions, independent producers of the show, previously made a series of popular documentaries about Katie and Peter Andre's married life as well as the programme, What Katie Did Next, all broadcast on ITV2. The channel is well known for its American programming such as Gossip Girl and for reality television spin-off shows such as The Xtra Factor. Peter Andre � Going It Alone was viewed by 1.9 million people, making it the fifth most watched programme in the channel's history.
