Mates worry over Pete's new girlfriend

Pete Bennett has got back with a former girlfriend just a week after dumping Nikki Grahame.

The apparent romance comes despite reservations from two of his friends and ex-bandmates. Worried for the Big Brother 7 champion, they claim the woman in question has treated Pete badly in the past.

"He's split with Nikki and he?s now with Gemma," said Wobbly Bob, guitarist in his old band Daddy Fantastic. "He knew her for a long time before and she was one of the first girls to sell a story on him."

And Nimbus, another member of the band, told Now magazine: "She gave him the run-around for over a year before he went on Big Brother. He was in love with her and she treated him like s***.

"She even got off with someone in front of him, so he was depressed for quite a while about that and we looked out for him. So why does she want to be with him now?"
