The dad-of-four's announcement gave very few details away about the film, though Andre did confirm that he hoped to cover his relationship with mental health in the upcoming movie.

"Long time coming," one fan wrote in the post's comment section, adding: "You have so much to teach, inspire and empower. Will or would you want to include your personal battles with your mental health?"

Andre responded to the comment in question with a "yes" and a red, underlined 100 emoji.

The singer rose to prominence in 1996 for records including 'Flava' and 'I Feel You', alongside hit song 'Mysterious Girl', which reached number two in the charts.

The single eventually secured the number one spot in 2004, after Andre's appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

Andre released self-penned song 'Insania' following his I'm a Celebrity appearance, which reached number three in the UK charts.

He met Katie Price in the Australian jungle and the two struck up a romance on the show.

Overwhelming public interest into their relationship led to the couple appearing on a series of ITV reality shows including When Jordan Met Peter and Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare.

Andre and Price married in 2005 at Hampshire's Highclere Castle, with their wedding documented in ITV's Jordan & Peter: Marriage and Mayhem.

They went on to welcome two children together, son Junior (now 16) and daughter Princess (now 14), before divorcing in September 2009.

The singer-songwriter returned to I'm a Celebrity briefly in 2011, for a surprise visit to the camp with current contestant Fatima Whitbread.

Andre married his current wife Emily MacDonagh in 2015. The couple share daughter Amelia, 9, and son Theo, 6.
