Pete\'s book deal

30 August 2006
BB STAR'S £1M DEAL FOR BOOK
By Fiona Cummins
BIG Brother winner Pete Bennett has signed a £1million book deal.
His story, which will be out before Christmas, is expected to reveal what it is like to live with Tourette's syndrome.
The condition causes involuntary twitching and, in a few cases including Pete's, unintentional swearing.
Pete, 24, who won £100,000 on Big Brother, said: "It's amazing to be working on my life story."
Carole Tonkinson, spokeswoman for publishers HarperCollins, said: "This is hugely exciting for us.
"We have been watching him from the beginning and he has inspired us all."
Pete's book will include details of his romance with fellow contestant Nikki Grahame, 24.
Speaking about their first night out of the house Pete said at the time: "We went to my hotel room. We kissed and cuddled all night."
He is also expected to write about the break-up of his parents' marriage.
