==Media career==
==Career==
After unsuccessfully auditioning for the fifth series of ''Big Brother'' in [[Big Brother 2004 (UK)|2004]], Bennett was selected as one of the original 14 housemates for the seventh series in 2006. He was the bookies' favourite throughout the show and eventually won with 61.2% of the final vote.<ref>[http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1853731,00.html "Big Brother - does anyone really still watch it?

The show was accused by some of exploiting Bennett's Tourette's syndrome. The Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA) initially expressed concern that others with the condition would be mocked, though they later softened their stance, a TSA spokesperson said: "What it has done is put Tourette's on the map". A Channel 4 spokesperson said "Pete's attitude to his condition is a really positive one and that's helped to educate and inspire people [...] "He's a very positive role model and he's been a great housemate."<ref>Allen, Liam.

In 2006, Bennett was selected as one of the original 14 housemates for the seventh series. He won the series with 61.2% of the final vote.[5]

A TSA spokesperson said the series "has put Tourette's on the map".[6]

Later in 2006, Bennett was nominated for a National Television Award in 2006 for "Most Popular TV Contender"; however, this was awarded to fellow Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame.[7]

Bennett's autobiography, Pete: My Story, was published in hardback in November 2006[8] and reissued in paperback in 2007 as My Journey With Tourettes.

Bennett was also the lead singer in a band called Daddy Fantastic, but he left the band after agreeing with a record label that he should become a solo artist.[9] He then wrote music with songwriter and record producer Guy Chambers. Bennett went on to form another band, Pete Bennett And The Love Dogs, which played at Glastonbury, and venues such as IndigO2 and The Cavern Club.[10]
