Peter Andre has been crowned Celebrity Dad of the Year.

He beat off competition from the likes of Ronan Keating, Vernon Kay, Stephen Gerrard and Mark Owen.

The 37-year-old singer and TV presenter, who has children Junior and Princess with ex-wife Katie Price, said: "This feels so good. It's been a turnaround year for me and the kids and it's an honour to be the subject of the public's support and best wishes.

"This means a huge amount to me as being a dad is my most important role."

More than 35,000 votes were cast in the poll by parenting club Bounty.

Jeff Brazier, the father to Jade Goody's two sons, came in second place, while Take That's Gary Barlow came third.
