Peter Andre is starring in the David Brent movie

Prepare yourselves for abs: Peter Andre is making a cameo appearance in the upcoming David Brent: Life On The Road movie.

The musician/dancer/Iceland commercial star posted a photo of himself with Ricky Gervais on Instagram yesterday as he took on his first day of work after being eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing over the weekend (but we're sure you've got it on series link, right?).

The film is set 12 years after The Office and will follow travelling salesman Brent as he takes his band, Foregone Conclusion, on a self-financed UK tour. Alongside writer-direct Gervais, the movie will star Kevin Bishop, Tom Basden (Plebs), Jo Hartley (This Is England '90) and Ben Bailey Smith - aka rapper Dom Johnson. A full soundtrack will be released on Juxtaposition Records, with Coldplay's Chris Martin rumoured to be involved.

It is not known what role Andre will take in the film, but given his pop-reggae heritage, surely a followup track to the amazing Equality Street may not be out of the question?

David Brent: Life On The Road will be in cinemas August 2016
