Pete fried mind with drug
By RICHARD WHITE
TOURETTE’S sufferer Pete Stephenson has “fried his mind” with powerful horse tranquilliser Ketamine, according to pals.
The twitching, swearing housemate — already a hot favourite to win the show — loved snorting the powdered hallucinogenic at wild parties.
But friends said the 24-year-old “part-time transvestite” took so much of the drug — known as Special K — it worsened his Tourette’s symptoms.
Last night a concerned pal said: “Pete was off his face on this stuff whenever I saw him. Because it made him hallucinate, he would be all over the place.
“He twitches when he’s nervous so within minutes of snorting Special K he’d be bouncing off the walls.
“It’s ruined his brain and made his condition much worse.”
Pete took the drugs with pals in Brighton, East Sussex, where he lives with his pet hamster called Magic and sings with his band, Daddy Fantastic.
When he first entered the house his weird, erratic behaviour baffled the other contestants.
Tubby Bonnie even asked him: “What have you been taking?”. It was only when he kept shouting ‘w*****s’ at the top of his voice that the housemates guessed he had Tourette’s.
His inclusion in the show has sparked anger among Tourette’s support groups who feel Pete will be mocked.
But he has already won over his fellow housemates and the viewers.
Bookies have made him 5/2 to win — from 4/1 on the first night, while Grace is at 5/1. But sleazy Lea, 36, is the rank outsider at 33/1 — and not a single bet has been placed on the porn star.....

HUNKY Mickey Dalton was shunned by schoolpals and labelled ‘The Predator’ — after he stole a mate’s girlfriend at a party.
The love-cheat, 22, slept with teenage beauty Pamela Smith in June 2000 — knowing she had been dating her boyfriend for TWO YEARS.
Horrified pals at St Margaret’s CoE School in Aigburth, Liverpool, refused to speak to him or take him on a group holiday to Ibiza. Chris Featherstone said: “He couldn’t control himself. It tore our group apart.”
CHAV Bonnie Holt was cautioned by cops for carrying a knife in the street — and is being likened to Little Britain’s Vicky Pollard.
A pal said: “She’s a real low-life. She has a filthy mouth and is about as stupid as you can get. Big Brother obviously wanted someone to ruffle feathers, and they’re on a winner with Bonnie.”
BB said Bonnie, 20, of Loughborough, Leics, has not been charged over the knife incident.
