Pete's controversial fur coat could land him in the slammer, a government minister has warned today.

A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the singer could face "serious consequences" if the offending jacket is made from gorilla skin, as Pete claims.

"Gorilla skins belong on gorillas, not on reality TV show contestants," said biodiversity minister Jim Knight. "Gorillas are critically endangered, and any promotion of gorilla products in this country can only put these amazing creatures in further peril.

"If this is in fact a gorilla skin, there may be serious consequences. Any gorilla skin acquired after June 1947 would require an exemption permit, which would be highly unlikely to be granted. Equally, any gorilla skins or other products brought into this country require an import permit."

Pete first paraded the fur coat on his second day in the house and, despite pleas from several offended housemates, refused to take it off.

It's clearly not from a gorilla, you just have to look at a gorilla and thern look at that coat to see that the furs are nothing alike.
