PETER Andre's 'Mysterious Girls' of York have been found - thanks to our story!

We ran a picture story of when the pop star and heart-throb came to York - with lots of photos of female fans.

And we asked the question: "Are you one of Pete's 'Mysterious Girls'? - inviting them to get in touch.

The original photos were taken in 2013 by our Press photographers when Peter staged an appearance at The Perfume Store for the launch of his scent, Forever Young. Fans had queued outside perfume shop in Coney Street for more than four hours to see him.

A few months later, Peter was back in York for a gig at York Barbican, where Press snapper David Harrison got some great photos.

One was of a fan in the audience holding up a poster reading: "I'm your Mysterious Girl!!!"

This week, Amy Buck got in touch to make her claim to fame saying the night was "the highlight of my life".

She told The Press: "I saw Pete at the Barbican. I am the owner of the orange ‘I’m your mysterious girl’ sign! He plucked me out from the audience to join him on stage to do the traditional Greek dance, ‘Zorba’. It was the highlight of my life. There is also video evidence somewhere."

Amy also sent us a new photo of her dancing with Pete on stage.

In March 2017, Peter showed he had a big heart when he popped into The Gravers care home in Wigginton Road, York, as a surprise for Cheryl Pratt ahead of Mother’s Day.

The surprise visit had been arranged behind Cheryl's back by her family with the help of a TV show and was to offer comfort to her following the sudden death of her father.

This week, Cheryl - a superfan - got in touch too and shared some more photos of her and Peter.

She said: "I’ve met Pete probably around 50 times, travelling all over the country, but my favourite was when he travelled to my work to surprise me after the death of my father. He even sent me an amazing video message after he learnt of his death."

What is your response?I had already met Peter a few times previously, but every time it's just as exciting. Pete is very down to earth with his fans and makes time to speak to everyone. This time in York me and my best friends Leanne and Abbie queued for hours in the pouring rain, but it was worth it to meet Pete again, he even noticed I was already wearing one of his perfumes, and we got a glimpse of Emily too! A few months later we went to watch him perform at The Barbican, he was amazing! Jenni

What is your response?I did stand for an hour or so in the rain in York waiting to see Peter. I was with my son, his mobile died just as we entered the shop and his phone had the better camera so my photo quality not the best! I have met Pete on many occasions in York, Scarborough and Harrogate and also seen him in Leeds. Always go with my best friend Michelle Sorrell. He’s such a lovely person ???
