POP star Peter Andre will be switching on this year’s Christmas lights at Merry Hill.
The Australian heart-throb - now best-known for being glamour girl Jordan’s other half after the pair met on TV's I'm a Celebrity show - will be lighting up the shopping mall on Thursday November 20.
He will be setting female shopper’s hearts racing when he performs a selection of his most popular songs on stage from 6pm - before the big switch-on just before 7pm.
The 90s pop sensation, whose hit Mysterious Girl topped the UK charts, will also be stopping on afterwards to sign autographs.
Merry Hill spokeswoman Kelly Reed said: “Since his legendary appearance on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Peter Andre has enjoyed a huge resurgence in popularity - so we’re thrilled to bits that he’s agreed to travel to Merry Hill to help us kick off the festive season in style.
“We’re all big fans of Pete here at Merry Hill and can’t wait to hear him perform some of his classic tunes - including our all-time favourite, Mysterious Girl.”
The festive fun kicks off in Fountain Square at 4pm.
Kelly added: “We’re predicting a record turnout this year and expect to be packed to the rafters. So if you fancy getting a glimpse of the Aussie Adonis yourself, make sure you get down to the centre early.”
