Peter Andre shares the unusual family link he shares with Victoria Beckham

Peter Andre has shared the bizarre link he has to Victoria Beckham.

The Mysterious Girl singer said his mum Thea and Posh's mum Jackie Adams were pen pals when he and the Spice Girls hit the big time.

Peter, 49, told OK! the two women would send each other press clippings of each other's child when they spotted them.

"They read some of it here and there whenever they come to visit but I really should start sending some copies over to Oz – I don’t know why I didn’t think of that!" he told the publication about his parents keeping up with his column/

"I usually just tell them everything I’m going to write about over the phone.

"That reminds me – back in the 90s, Victoria Beckham’s mum Jackie [Adams] used to send my mum stories from magazines when I was in the UK, and my mum would send Jackie stories about the Spice Girls in Australian magazines. How crazy is that?"

Pete has plans to head back to his native Australia with his wife Emily, 33, and their children Millie, 8, Theo, 5 as well as Junior, 17, and Princess, 15 - who he shares with Katie Price.

He explained how the two projects he is working on - Grease the Musical and a film - he will visit the country to see family.

The singer said he is heading over to see his mum as she's "not doing too well" and that she "needs a helping hand".

Despite his dad being 89, he said that he is "more worried" about Thea.

Peter moved from Australia in the 1990s to pursue his singing career.

The entertainer will be celebrating 30 years in the industry, after he released his debut album in 1993.

He said how it's "mad" that exactly 30 years after his first album, his son Junior released his first single.

To celebrate, he will be launching five tour dates next year, where he will be sitting down in front of an audience for an "evening with" type show.

He said that it's something he's never done before but feels it would be a fitting way to say thank you to all those who have supported his journey.

Speaking in his New! column, he also spoke recently about his heartbreak after his daughter Princess confided in him about her school struggles.

“Princess went back to school and was like ‘Dad, I can’t do this.’ It’s her GCSE year, but I told her the time will fly past and she just needs to stay focused.”
