So, it is no surprise the multi-talented 44-year-old felt he almost suffered ‘burnout’ last year, after attempting to juggling his commitments for too long.
The Network 10 star admitted to Stellar there were drawbacks to being in demand.

‘Yeah, there’s a bit going on,’ he said, listing off his timetable for the next three months – including a national comedy took and two book releases.

‘I always envisaged or dreamt of having a career that wasn’t just about one thing. I’ve liked the idea of being challenged by different things.’
Peter first rose to fame alongside Rove McManus’ titular show Rove Live, which ran from 1999 to 2009.
