And yet, this year’s event featured a surprise appearance from the chart-topping singer, reality star and occasional GB News presenter, who was the performer at UK Music’s party on Tuesday night.

It looks as though Pete’s performance began with an impromptu Q&A, telling the crowd: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have to explain, they told me earlier that they tried to get Robbie Williams and he wouldn’t come, I know!

“But guys, we’re going to have a great time. Have you enjoyed your conferences? Good!”

What followed was a high-energy performance of covers for the journalists and Conservative Party figures gathered at the event, complete with table-dancing, bum-shaking and more thrusting than we really feel a political conference calls for.

The whole thing culminated in an on-stage group rendition of Mysterious Girl that we’re unlikely to forget in a hurry.

5 News’ Jonathan Mitchell wrote on X: “The Conservative Party conference was quite dull, then Peter Andre rocked up and mimed to Mysterious Girl surrounded by Tories.”
