It's been Insania – but today the on-off saga of Peter Andre's appearance in Shropshire was finally resolved.

Celebrity Peter Andre has confirmed his county date

The Mysterious Girl singer revealed that he will be coming to Telford's International Centre.

It puts to an end days of confusion in which the date was listed on the singer's website despite an insistence from the venue that no concert existed.

It appears the two sides had been in talks about a date but that nothing had been confirmed, leading to scores of calls from frustrated Andre fans attempting to buy tickets.

Fan websites were full of complaints from fans who had been excited about the prospect of seeing their hero in Shropshire, but finding nothing but a blank page when clicking on a link from his website.

Today promoter Leigh Elliot said contract talks had been been resolved and that the concert would go ahead, supported by the X Factor's Rylan Clark, who was also the Celebrity Big Brother winner.

Mr Elliot said: "I'm delighted this has finally been resolved.

"The day is set to be more than just a concert with additional acts still to be announced.

"The aim is to create a value for money day out for all ages."

He said he was hoping to sell 3,000 tickets for the concert, which will take place on September 27.

Fans had planned an online campaign to bring Andre to Telford after it emerged the date was in doubt dspite it being advertised on the star's website.

And Telford & Wrekin councillor Shaun Davies added his support on Twitter, saying it would be good for the town.

But others on the social networking site were no as supportive of the plans for the concert, with Steve Knight tweeting: "I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than watch Peter Andre."

Tickets will be on sale at www.seetickets.com this Saturday 3rd August. Adult £25 Children (under 16s) £18
