Peter Andre shares loved-up snap with wife Emily after he faced major backlash over new Jafaican film dubbed ‘profoundly disrespectful’

Peter Andre has shared a loved-up pH๏τo with his wife Emily just days after being accused of ‘posing in modern blackface’ in his new Jafaican film.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, and Dr Emily, 35, posed in a snap posted on Peter’s Instagram on Thursday night. 

The couple looked as smitten as ever in the pH๏τo which showed them wrapping their arms around each other and cracking smiles in the sunshine.

Peter cut a laid-back figure, with the singer sporting a casual, flowery T-shirt teamed with a pair of white shorts and shoes. 

While Emily, who has been married to the TV star since 2015, put on a leggy display in a beige skirt and a white vest.

Andre captioned the post: ‘I love you @dr_emily_official That’s all ♥️♥️.’

Earlier this week, Emily posted her own cute pH๏τos of the couple after they attended a wedding together. 

With Peter looking as dashing as ever in a navy suit and Emily wearing a figure-hugging lime mini-dress, the pair seemed to have enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon. 

‘Such a lovely time this weekend at a beautiful wedding with friends ❤️ Feels like spring @peterandre’, Emily captioned the pH๏τo.  

Both of the Instagram posts came after Peter received backlash for wearing dreadlocks and putting on a Jamaican accent in the Jafaican trailer, which he posted to his social media last Wednesday. 

The singer stars as lead character Gary Buckle in the crime-comedy which is set for release later this year.

Gary, also known as Gazza, must master Jamaican culture in 21 days in order to execute a fraud in London and Jamaica and earn the £35,000 he needs to pay for his grandmother’s care.

Peter deleted his Tweet shortly after sharing the trailer after receiving the backlash as some fans questioned: ‘Did I wake up in 1998?’

‘Peter Andre starring as the lead character of a film called JAFAICAN where he’s pretending to be a Jamaican and wearing a dreadlock wig is not something I was expecting to see in the year of our Lord 2025 but here we are…’

‘There’s a movie coming out with Peter Andre in a dreadlock wig pretending to be Jamaican. Is this really what we’re doing in 2025?’;

‘Why on earth has YouTube just recommended me a trailer for a film starring Peter Andre about a man posing as a fake Jamaican? Did I wake up in 1998?’ 

One fan noticed Peter had deleted his tweet in light of the negative response and asked: ‘So Peter Andre deleted his tweet, does that mean Jafaican is being scrapped?’  

However the trailer didn’t receive all negative comments after other social media users shared their excitement ahead of the film’s release.

Peter first posted the trailer on his Instagram over the weekend as he announced: ‘The OFFICIAL trailer for JAFAICAN has just dropped! Coming to cinemas soon….’

Revealing his upcoming promo work for the film he confirmed the world premiere will be at the Gold Coast Film Festival on May 9 and teased that news on a UK premiere would be coming soon.

The controversial trailer for Jafaican sees the Australian star donning a dreadlock wig before putting on a Jamaican accent, and fans have not reacted well to the project

Excited fans penned: ‘Peter that looks amazing can’t wait to see this brilliant’; ‘Oh yes!!!! looking forward to this @peterandre can’t wait’;

‘I wish I could have watched this being filmed’

Peter tied the knot with GP Emily in 2015, and they have Millie, 11, and eight-year-old Theo together. 

The pop star is also father to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, with his ex-wife Katie Price, who he was married to from 2005 until 2009.
