Pete Bennett was born on 22 March, 1982, in Camberwell, London to Mark Bennett, artist, and Anne Stephenson, session musician. When Pete was six, his father Mark Bennett walked out on his mother Anne Stephenson, and he did not see his father from the age of 14 onwards, although he has always kept in touch. However, in a letter he received on Big Brother, he found out that his father wished to see him again, though this has not yet happened. Pete also has a younger half brother, Alex, from his mother's second relationship. Pete was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of 14. He was bullied at school from an early age as he was deemed an outcast by fellow children at this time. In 2001 he moved from London to Brighton where he quickly earned his reputation as a local legend for his eccentricity and extrovert personality. Despite Tourette's Syndrome Pete fronted a band, Daddy Fantastic. He auditioned to enter Big Brother 5, but failed. He successfully auditioned to enter Big Brother 7. After spending 13 weeks as a BB7 contestant, Pete emerged as the winner on 18 August 2006 with over 61% of the vote, and has given all his winnings £100,000 to his mother to pay off her mortgage. He chose Tourette Syndrome (UK) Association to receive £400,000 from proceedings of the BB7 phone-in votes. Not long after leaving the Big Brother house he's parted his way with the band for reasons not reported. He's currently working on his autobiography (due out in November, 2006, through HarperCollins UK). It's reported that he's also working on a solo music project with British music producer Guy Chambers. Although he's still a resident of his beloved town Brighton, he currently lives and works in London.

Winner of the 7th series of "Big Brother" (2000/III).His favorite films include Alien (1979), Donnie Darko (2001), and Dumb & Dumber (1994).
