I'M *!*!* PETE
EXCLUSIVE BB bosses make offer to Edmonds as rocker joins line-up
By Melanie Swan

AN outrageous rock singer who is already hot favourite to win the new Big Brother series.

Perfect Peter is afflicted by Tourette's syndrome which means he can't help blurting out swear words and insults.

Big Brother producers think he'll make compulsive viewing - and infuriate the other housemates with his obscene outbursts.

Already well known in his home town of Brighton, 24-year-old Peter is lead singer with flamboyant glam-rock band Daddy Fantastic. A source said: "He loves to dress up. He'll be like this year's Pete Burns.

"He has a foul mouth and is a loose cannon. He'll certainly add some fireworks to the house.

"It's tough to deal with someone who has Tourette's if you're not used to it, so the housemates will face their first challenge just getting used to him, and his swearing and abuse. He's got a huge personality and loves wearing wigs and women's blouses when he's on stage, as well as his tight trousers and animal print clothes.

"His make-up makes Pete Burns look normal though. He often looks like a 1970s glam-rock throwback or Adam Ant. He's the perfect eccentric housemate."

Daddy Fantastic includes four stunning pole dancers, one of whom is Peter's girlfriend Gemma. There's also a drummer who dresses up as a giant wasp and a guitarist and bass player in full clown make-up.
