Peter "Pete" Alexander Bennett (born 22 March 1982) is a British media personality, who won the seventh series of the Channel 4 (now Channel 5) reality television series Big Brother in 2006. He has Tourette syndrome. He divides his time between Brighton and London.
After unsuccessfully auditioning for the fifth series of Big Brother in 2004 (as seen in Vanessa Nimmo from Big Brother 5's tape on launch night), Bennett was selected as one of the original housemates for the seventh series in 2006. He was the bookmakers' favourite throughout and eventually won with 61.2% of the final vote. The show was accused of exploiting Bennett's Tourette's syndrome: The Tourette Syndrome Association of the UK said "the broadcaster had deliberately cast someone with relatively strong symptoms in order to make him a 'figure of fun'." Some viewers expressed concern that the show had exploited Tourette's, while others felt it was educational and criticised the hypocrisy of UK TS organization for wanting the syndrome brought to the public consciousness but complaining when it was. Bennett was nominated for a National Television Award in 2006 for "Most Popular TV Contender"; however, the former Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame won the award.

Went to see billy idol play at the Brixton academy yesterday, and i took my video camera but i got searched by the bouncers they said i couldnt take it in so they made me stash it in a side door place with a ticket. I went n watched the gig n it was Fantastic! Then on me way out i saw 2 lads on the stairs waving at me sayin "Wanna meet him?" n i was like "errr....ok!"

The people asking questions to the people with the answers
The people with the answers ire the people with the questions
So the people with the questions asked the people with the answers
The people with the answers won't tell the people with the questions the answers
So the people with the questions they ask the people with the answers
But the people with the answers won't speak to them
Because the people with the answers give the people with the questions
just a little bit too hard a time to speak to
I'm a man who likes to be alone
I'm a man who likes to think alone
I don't have too many answers, but I got a whole heap of questions
I got a whole heap of questions that I won't hide from you
So low, don't smile you get high [?]
So the people with the books they went and stood up on the mountain
To get away from the people with no books
The people with the books they started reading on the mountain but
they couldn't see a thing because the sky went dark
I don't know where the cloud cover came from
I'm just sitting here rocking on the station
I don't want to be the type of guy
who lives alone, reading books, and never eats a pizza pie
I don't want to be the type of person sitting alone with a book on my own
With a book on my own
The people with the questions got together
with the people with the books and left the people with answers out
So the people with the answers started to make their way over the hill
to meet with people with the questions and the people with the books
And we all live together on a little round ball
We all sing together when the cuckoo calls
I'm not the type best living alone
Could we live together? Well, I don't know..
I'm not sitting here giving you a lesson
So I?ll just keep my mouth shut for the next few minutes
Can't keep quiet for long
I'm a human being
Can't help help singing this song
I'm a human being
You won't listen to me
I'm not an authority
So the people with the answers met the people with the questions
and the people with the books sat down
They finally decided to sit around to talk about their problems
to see if they come up with some answers to meet the questions
and some questions to meet the answers
well, the leaves on the trees are green
[ok we're agreed on that]
and the roads are not very clean
[ok we're agreed on that]
and the food we eat is not very healthy
[ok we're agreed on that]
and the music we make is not particularily good
[ok we're agreed on that]
and the planets sort of revolve around the sun
[ok we're agreed on that]
and the moon is a big ball with nothing on it, and I don't think anyone's ever been there
[ok, so we're kind of agreed to that, so what are we arguing about?
Well, I don't know..
Ok. so let?s get together and smoke that pizza pie]
Some people with a pizza pie made me very high
The people with the questions smile
And the people with the answers lie
They lie
