PETER Andre has stood up for his cast mates after they were the targets of homophobic and racist trolling.

The Mysterious Girl hitmaker, 49, slammed the bigoted trolls saying they were ‘not welcome in his or his family’s life.’

He shared a statement by Dominion Theatre in London which stood up for it cast.

The statement read: “The producers of the new production of Grease at the Dominion Theatre are extremely proud of the diversity of our cast.

“The individuals making such comments are not welcome at the Dominion Theatre and the producers stand with our cast against racism and all forms of prejudice.”

Pete who plays Vince Fontaine in Grease on the West End added his own two cents.

“It baffles me that we still live in a world like this. I had some ignorant person on my twitter blurting out racism and homophobia,” he wrote.

“I wanted to say so much back but you can’t always change a narrow minded persons ways. This kind of thing is not welcome in my or my families life.”

He added: “I stand by my fellow cast and crew against all forms of prejudice. And let me just say, our cast are outstanding. Wait till you see them. Love to all…. Except the very few. And that right there makes me truly sad.”

Pete recently opened up to The Sun about the bullying and racism he faced from pupils – and teachers – at school in Australia.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Peter admitted he still “has his moments” of self-doubt, even after years of therapy.

And the father-of-four, who is of Greek Cypriot descent, said he can’t help but worry about his own children feeling like they don’t belong at school like he did.

Peter, 49, moved from London to Australia’s Gold Coast when he was five and was immediately snubbed by his peers.

He recently admitted he felt “so out of place” – and it even came from the staff.

“I went to tell the teacher what was going on and he said, ‘Greasy wogs don’t sit in my classroom, they face the wall’,” he recalled. “It scars you. Of course it does.”

Peter is channelling his school days experience into his new role as Vince Fontaine in Grease on the West End.

“It’s so unbelievable how relevant Grease is to my upbringing, learning acceptance and wanting to be cool,” he said. 

“It’s still a big thing now, wanting to have the best clothes and make sure your make-up looks good.”

The last time Grease – which was released in 1978 – aired on the BBC, viewers branded it “rapey, racist and homophobic” and criticised the ending, where Olivia Newton-John’s character Sandy Olsson dresses sexier and starts smoking to seduce John Travolta’s Danny Zuko.

But Peter staunchly defended it, arguing: “When you look at classic pieces, you’ve got to take them for what they were at that time. 

“Of course a lot of the things the guys were saying were inappropriate. But back then they may not have looked at it as inappropriate, because that’s just the way it was then. 

“When you’re putting a show like this onstage, you can’t change it to suit you. You’ve either got to tell the story or you don’t tell the story. 

“You can sugarcoat things, but, in a way, by doing that, you take away from the crux of what it’s all about.”

This revamped version of Grease does, however, stray away from the original, featuring same-sex dance couples, more women in the Greased Lightning number, a brunette Sandy and a black Rizzo.

Peter said: “There are differences in the fact that we’ve got a phenomenal multicultural cast – and even my part is different from the original script.

“Vince Fontaine was originally a bit more sleazy. But they allowed me to do whatever I wanted to do with the part, which I was really grateful for.”
