Plus, the holiday destination Peter says is a kids' paradise

The singer-turned-actor recently raved about his two favourite spa hotels in the UK.

One is spa , which coincidentally is celebrating its 100 year anniversary.
Peter, who often visits the Henlow branch, told Sun Travel: "Champneys is like a home from home, who doesn't love it?"
"I remember when I first came to England and people would say to me 'go and have a break at Champneys'. The food is great, I love using the pool and the gym - it has everything.
"When I go it feels like a weight off my shoulders. I have been with Emily before, and we love it. You can make a day of it, and it's always really great."

Peter married wife Dr Emily MacDonagh in July 2015, meaning this year they will be celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.
"It's hard to convince Emily to spend time away from the baby," added Peter, who with Emily shares 13 month old Arabella.
"But the baby's over a year old now, and because it's our tenth wedding anniversary, I'd love to go somewhere with her - maybe for one night."
Champneys is celebrating its 100th year after first opening its Stanley Lief health farm in 1925.

"When you walk in, it's like being in one of those incredible hotels in Dubai, it's unbelievable. And I don't know how people haven't discovered it yet.
"It's incredible, even if you go just for one day to their spa."
Fairmont Spa Windsor's Twilight Spa Package costs £270 for a spa day Monday to Thursday, and £290 for a spa day Friday to Sunday.
Ahead of the release of his upcoming film, Jafaican, Peter went on a big family trip with his children, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17 and Amelia, 11, Theo, 9, and Arabella, 13 months, who he shares with his wife, Emily.
Having been scoping out child-friendly destinations for so many years, Peter has high praise for Yas Island in Abu Dhabi - and with good reason.
Peter told us: "Yas Island is the most child-friendly place I've ever been to - it's a kids' paradise.

"They cater for children first which is something I've never seen anywhere else. And then they've made it exciting for the adults - normally it's the other way around."
The family made sure to check out Ferrari World, which is home to the world's fastest rollercoaster, as well as the huge Aquaventure World waterpark.
Yas Island is also set to welcome yet another theme park, which Disney announced in May 2025.
Peter recently returned to Australia for the world premiere of his comedy film Jafaican, which will be out in UK cinemas on May 20, 2025.
Peter plays Gazza, a small-time London crook who takes on a high-stakes con job to cover £35,000 bill for his grandmother's care home fees.
