MailOnline has contacted Peter’s representatives for further comment.
Pete, who told Princess he thinks he has the flu and is ‘aching’ everywhere, revealed he did a lateral flow test the night before and would do another one.
Peter can be heard saying in the video: ‘I’m supposed to be going to Manchester to do Grease but I’m so sick, I don’t know what to do… I’m so sick.’
A wise Princess told him: ‘How are you meant to do it like that? You’re going to be coughing.’
To which the singer replied: ‘But people have bought tickets. I know… I’m pretty bad.’
Princess said: ‘I don’t think you should go, if you are up there singing and coughing, people are going to be like…
‘Just don’t go. Everyone is saying rest.’
Poorly: The singer who already had the virus back in January, said in the background of his 14-year-old daughter Princess’ Instagram live on Tuesday he feels the ‘most ill I’ve been in three years’; pictured earlier this year
When his daughter asked if this is the ‘worst’ he has felt, Pete said: ‘I haven’t felt like this for two or three years.
‘I had Covid, but that was a different kind of feel, but that was horrible.’
As the Instagram Live progressed, Princess voiced her concerns as Pete continued to cough.
She said: ‘Dad, you’ve got to get a PCR’.
Pete decided to rest up upon the advice on his road manager Carl Machin who firmly told him: ‘I know what you’re saying and I applaud you for it but one you look ill, two you sound awful and three you have to sing live vocals.
‘And also you’re going to be close to cast members, you’ve got to think how you’d feel if you gave two or three cast members what you’ve got and they have to have time off.’
Pete tested positive for Covid back in January after feeling unwell for a few days.
