Pete will star in a "rockumentary" series with his band Daddy Fantastic.

The band will let cameras follow their UK tour in October, with the results likely to be shown on Channel 4. The programme is being made by Big Brother producers Endemol.

A source told The Sun: "Cameras would get backstage access to Pete and the band and film their shows. It's likely to be similar to the Monkees TV show in the 60s. But Daddy Fantastic are such characters it'll probably be more like This Is Spinal Tap."
