Peter Andre huffs and puffs on a run after vowing to fight the flab 'Rocky' style

While wife Jordan remoulds herself as a sleeker, slimmer woman, husband Peter Andre is waging his own battle of the bulge.

Singer Peter was yesterday spotted huffing and puffing his way through an exercise session with his personal trainer.

The 35-year-old pop star's stocky physique looks more suited to the weights room than the running track.

Comeback kid: Peter Andre hits the road vowing to lose weight the old-fashioned way like Sylvester Stallone's character Rocky, by putting in some gruelling training

But unlike wife Katie, he's not a fan of cosmetic surgery, preferring to fight the flab the traditional way.

Peter said: "Your body does change when you get in your thirties, so I'm working with an ex-marine to get in shape.

"Forget lipsuction and steroids, I like good old-fashioned Rocky-style training."

Clearly Peter is keen to recover the fit physique he sported in his younger days when he shot to fame as a teen heartthrob, hence the strenuous fitness regime.

Roadrunner: Peter said he is not a fan of cosmetic surgery, preferring to fight the flab the traditional way.

Wife Katie recently dismissed rumours that his ballooning weight has put her off him.

She told a newspaper: "That's ridiculous, bull**** stuff. I don't care what he looks like." But the glamour model admitted that he had been on a strick fitness regime for the last two weeks.

She said: "I love him for him. I still fancy him as much as I ever did, definitely."

So romance is still very much alive in the Price-Andre household.

The couple have two children together, Junior, two, and nine-month-old Princess Tiámmii, as well as Katie's son Harvey, five, from her previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.

She continued: "Every day we do something romantic for each other. He runs me a bath, or he'll cook me dinner and put candles on the table.

"We sit and watch telly and snuggle up, and then give each other a little foot massage."

Perhaps Peter will be in need of one after his latest training session.

So in love: Peter and his increasingly slender wife Katie, who says she loves him no matter what he looks like
