WITH VIDEO: A paralysed Peter Andre fan has thanked the singer for saving her life.

Cat Hedger defied doctors’ predictions to walk up to the singer as he signed copies of his latest single in Brighton.

The 24-year-old from Tarring, Worthing, was left in a wheelchair after her drink was spiked with lethal GBL when she was just 19.

However since meeting the Mysterious Girl singer, she said she had been inspired to take her first steps.

There were emotional scenes at Asda in Brighton Marina on Saturday as Miss Hedger surprised the star by walking up to him using a frame.

She said: “I set this goal in my head that I wanted to walk into his arms.

“Meeting Peter saved my life.”

The tearful singer told her: “I’m so proud of you.”
