Peter Andre can't believe how successful his coffee shop has been since its launch last week. 

The singer and presenter exercised his entrepreneurial skills recently by opening the New York Coffee Club in East Grinstead, West Sussex and wrote in his column for New! magazine that it has "taken over my life":

"It's been hectic lately and the coffee shop has slightly taken over my life. Luckily, the kids love it there so they don't mind too much. Princess is obsessed with the kids' play area and spends all her time in there drawing and colouring."

Speaking specifically about the teething problems that hit his new business during its opening week, Andre added that he simply didn't expect it to be as popular as it was:

"Although the official launch was last Wednesday, the shop actually started serving last Monday (07.11.11). As soon as we opened for business, it was totally rammed and, at one point, it was so busy I thought we might have to close it!"

"We sold out of cupcakes within a couple of hours and also ran out of hot chocolate, so sorry to anyone who wanted either of those things. It won't happen again! I thought it might be busy but I had no idea how busy. Everyone seems to love the fact that we have films playing on a screen so you can watch them while you're having a coffee!"
