Peter Andre is back on the rails. He will voice a character in the new ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ film. According to the Mattel press release, Andre will voice a character called Ace. He’s “a bright yellow and very cheeky Australian rally car that inspires Thomas to leave his home of Sodor and travel around the world with him”. Andre even recorded a new song, ‘Free and Easy’, for the film’s soundtrack. Andre teased the announcement on Twitter, before an appearance on ‘This Morning’. “I’ve been wanting to say this for months”, he explained.
