Caprice Bourret has hit back at Peter Andre after he called her ‘”foolish” for “undermining a doctor” on Jeremy Vine during a recent coronavirus debate.
Following her appearance on the Channel 5 show, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker blasted the American star for giving information she “read online”.
Writing in his OK! column, he put: “I didn’t see Caprice Bourret’s appearance on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine programme last week, but I heard that she was slammed by viewers for arguing with a qualified doctor about how to contain the coronavirus.

Appearing alongside Dr Sarah Jarvis, a GP and clinical director of the health information service Patient, Caprice ignited an argument after she refused to believe Sarah’s comments.

Dr Jarvis told her: “No disrespect, unless you have read every scientific paper and statistical modelling paper that’s come out, you cannot argue with me on that. You can have an opinion but it’s not a fact.”
Caprice insisted: “But I can, I have an opinion.
“This is what I’ve read – let me tell you the facts. In Taiwan and Singapore, what they did they early on – in week one, in February, everyone was wearing surgical masks…”
