Pete Bennett
- Profession: Big Brother Winner
Guy became internationally renowned after penning the smash hit Angels for pop scoundrel Robbie Williams in 1997. During his long partnership with the ex-Take That singer, Guy also wrote top 10 hits like Let Me Entertain You, Feel and Millennium.
Pete is thought to be releasing his first single - without his punk band Daddy Fantastic - as early as November, and he is soon expected to sign for Guy’s record label Sleeper Music as a solo artist. The blonde reality star seems to be making the most of his new-found fame - he has also reportedly signed a £250,000 deal to write his autobiography with ghostwriter Andrew Croft.

Big Brother winner Pete has signed a book deal - worth a whopping £1million. The handsome reality TV star will reveal what it’s like to live with Tourette’s syndrome and his true feelings for fellow housemate Nikki, who he has been romancing for the last few weeks. He is also expected to talk about the collapse of his mum and dad’s marriage.
"It’s amazing to be working on my life story," said the 24-year-old, who sings in Brighton-based rock band Daddy Fantastic. Publishing firm Harper Collins have said they are thrilled to have worked out a deal with the popular BB winner.
"This is hugely exciting for us," said spokeswoman Carole Tonkinson. "We have been watching him from the beginning and he has inspired us all."
It’s thought Pete’s autobiography will be in the shops by November.
BB lovers dish the dirt, Aug 29 - 2006
Big Brother’s Nikki and Pete have spilled the beans in their first joint interview. The unlikely pair, both 24, finally hooked up for a night of passion after weeks of frustration in the Elstree house. And speaking about the first time she saw his impressive manhood, the petite promos girl giggled: "I asked him if it was too heavy to carry about and he said, ’a little bit’.
"I wasn’t there when he flashed it in the pool, so I haven’t even seen it! I have never seen anything so enormous!"
The blonde even admitted to Heat magazine: "His c*** is the size of my thigh."
Talking about their first night together away from the cameras, the Brighton entertainer added: "It was really, really nice to see her without being watched. We could let go.
"I think she was paranoid that when I cam out of the house I wouldn’t like her, and that I only needed a cuddle when I was in the house.
"So we kissed and cuddled all night."
