Peter Andre to speak at Edinburgh television festival masterclass

The ringer and reality TV star Peter Andre is expected to speak about his split from his wife, Katie Price, when he takes part in a masterclass at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television festival.

Andre, who split from Price, also known as the model Jordan, earlier this year, will take part in the masterclass with Neville Hendricks, the executive producer of his ITV2 reality show Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter Stateside.

During the session, Andre will talk about the impact of being filmed 24 hours a day and what will happen to the franchise following his split from Price. Meanwhile, Hendricks will speak about the importance of matching the right crew with talent.

Andre's appearance follows the release of his new single Behind Closed Doors on 10 August.

On Friday, he won substantial undisclosed libel damages from the People newspaper in the high court over a false claim that he made inappropriate sexual advances to a woman who looked like Price.

Other key speakers already confirmed at MGEITF include the chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, Europe and Asia, James Murdoch; Gerhard Zeiler, the chief executive of RTL Group; the BBC's business editor, Robert Peston; Peter Fincham, ITV's director of television; Ofcom's chief executive, Ed Richards; the presenters Ant and Dec; The Wire creator, David Simon and the actor Ross Kemp.

MGEITF takes place between 28 and 30 August.
