Peter Andre relies on exercise and chocolate

Peter Andre says exercise and chocolate are the key to getting a six-pack.

The Australian-born singer is in the "best shape of his life" and puts it down to regular workouts and large helpings of sweet treats. But Peter - who recently divorced glamour model Katie Price - admits his body would look better if he added sex to the equation.

"I love the fact that I have a six-pack, which I haven't had for years," the 36-year-old star told Daily Mirror newspaper. "When Katie and me split up I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror - all my confidence vanished.

"Now I'm the same weight as I was in the Mysterious Girl days 15 years ago. Exercise, sex and chocolate are great for making you feel good and I'm doing two out of three!"

Peter - who raises three children with Katie - claims he has been celibate since splitting up with Katie in May. Despite persistent rumours linking him to various women, he swears he won't be ready for sex for a long time.

"I don't have a girlfriend and I haven't slept with anyone," he fumed. "I feel frustrated at all these silly playground putdowns linking me to different women. I'd take a lie detector test and I'd be willing to stand up in court and swear on oath it's not true."
