Big Brother: Pete Bennett Reveals His Reasons For Dumping Nikki Grahame.
Big Brother winner, Pete Bennett has revealed that he split up with girlfriend Nikki Grahame as they weren’t sexually compatible.
He told Heat magazine that Nikki “was never really interested, whereas my sex drive is very high. If I ever tried it on, she would have to finish her make-up or be looking her best.”
Pete also confessed that her tantrums also played a part in the end of the relationship saying: “Her behaviour made me embarrassed. She was saying my friend’s house smelt ‘doggie-woggies’ and started spraying perfume everywhere.
“When we were at a party she was asked to help clear up. She said, ‘Have you seen an A-list celebrity working?’ and refused to do anything. She’s high maintenance.”
Oh dear! What will Nikki have to say to that?

Did any one see Pete’s face when Nikki was doing her acceptance speech. He looked so happy for her, his eyes sparkled and he had a huge smile on his face. The same look when Nikki came back in the house. Pete says and does things without thinking but his body language is always accurate and consistent. He always looks more handsome and relaxed when Nikki is around. Is this me or does anyone else agree. I do believe he still loves her but he is going with his head with Gemma and not his heart with Nikki. It will only lead to more heartache when he realises that the heart is what really matter but alas it will be too late as Nikki will be dating her hero Duncan and Pete will be just a ‘holiday fling’.
We can only speculate the real reasons why Pete ended the relationship. We are not mind readers and his own words have never really refected what is on his mind, meaning I don’t think he knows what he wants. His body language is more consistent though which indicates he did have strong feelings for Nikki, probably still does but he is fighting with his ‘vision’ and doing the right thing regarding that vision. Maybe the vision meant for Pete to meet someone other than Gemma, who really is right for him and not some girl he had a massive crush on only for her to give him the run around. All this pink and black stuff – what colour did Nikki wear on entering the house – yes pink and black – all this orange talk – what colour did she wear when she came back in the house and what colour was her dress on the awards night – yes orange. Pete did not tell anyone about the colour vision until after he left the house. But do you know what, I do not know why I am bother any more because what is done is done, but a part of me is disappointed in Pete for not believing and taking a risk in something other than his ‘vision’. Maybe his friend was trying to tell him something that he could see, and it is not Gemma.
I agree with Cressida, about him being obsessed with Nikki. Ok he wants to marry Gemma but his behaviour is a little strange. Flaunting and endlessly talking about your new girlfriend does not ring home true feelings. Is he constantly having to justify his feelings to Gemma because deep down Gemma is insecure about the Nikki and Pete relationship. Or is Pete insure that Gemma does not really love him. Insecure means – don’t go there. If they were made for each other it would have happened years ago, way before Big Brother.
Thank goodness no news today about Pete, Gemma and Nikki.
I just want everyone to stop this ‘he said, she said, he did, she did’. Boring.
I try to see good in people and like to taken an unbiased view but when I see unfairness, particularly bullying of Nikki it makes me mad.
She is not an evil person, she is just a girl who fell in love with a boy and he has gone off with someone else. It is horrid and painful and she did have real feelings for him. We have all been there ourselves. Top with that she has had it exposed for the whole world to see plus she has had to carry on with working and keeping her chin up. Well done Nikki for your remarkable strength.
I think Pete is lovely and I hope he is happy because he deserves it but this Nikki bashing has got to stop.
i totally agree with whatis being said about pete i think it is a big sham with him and that gemma she as not got any feeling’s for pete what so ever it’s all for his pocket and pete is stupid not to see that she is using him.and nikki as true feeling’s for pete and he as for nikki and i think he really want’s nikki.deep down so why not just make one another happy by getting back together as nikki would do pete proud.
Dont worry big fan of nikki. Its written in the stars. True love never runs smoothy and there is going to be a very bumpy road ahead.
Pete has denied being engaged and when asked about Nikki in a radio show, he giggled and miaowed!!!!
He is obsessed with his vision at the moment and everything that goes with it so until he can work it out for himself we will just have to wonder.
He just makes money by all those interviews with her, then dumping her and getting back together. Oh, and making an autobiography and winning big brother. And lets not his band.
By the way i was ment to put lets not forget his band. Glyn deserved to win.
im still tryin to get ova the break up i no it happened agez ago but u can tell they still luv eachother 2 bits and its doin mi head in i mean SORT IT OUT!!!!!! still luv nikki 2 bits lykz!!!! XXXXNIKKIFAN4LYF!!XXXX
He does look quite happy with his new girlfriend to be honest. I do believe it is over.
I just hope Nikki can find some honest man who will do her proud. She really needs someone quite strong and very sure of themself but not in an arrogant way.
i think that gemma is just pulling pete down and is just using him.as in the star mag she cant even lift her head up to face the camera’sthat show’s it isn’t true love with her she is one big ugly mug. what pete see’s in her i will never no she look’s like a man and that green hair is so gross.were is pete looking letting a beauitful girl like nikki go for that iwill never know.pete got a problem what want’s sorting out.
Nikki is very pretty, better without makeup, but I think Pete looks at beauty in a different way. All his life he has been surrounded by unique and unusual looking people so what is beauty to the majority isn’t beauty to him.
I think deep down he just wants to be an ordinary bloke with all the trappings eg mortgage, job and family but because of his background and his tourettes he has never really been accepted and that is why he chose this ‘different’ lifestyle. Nikki was the key to a new life but only he knows what he feels. Sometimes I think he is really happy now but then when you see photos of him and Gemma together there is something not right whereas when he was with Nikki there was a spark.
I just dont know and I have kind of given up.
that gemma isn’t for pete put nikki at side of pete they are a match made in heaven and they should be together now as pete would of started a normal way of life .which would of helped pete alot and people would of respected pete a lot more being with nikki than that gemma. any day as nikki as got a lot going for and they would of made a great couple staying together. even pete’s dad said he liked nikki and thought she were a lovely girl and was great on big brother.
Dont you think it is funny that we have got so engrossed with a housemate that we have not even met.
I feel a bit weird having strong views, it is definitely not in my character, but then again Nikki is no ordinary girl.
I wish Pete could see all what we see but it doesn’t matter because we cannot tell him what to do. That is why when it comes to their relationship, it is over for me but if people kept bashing her I will say my piece.
Just recently Pete did a radio interview and when he mentioned Nikki he meiowed and giggled. He couldnt take his hands off her on the red carpet at the NTA and could not stop smiling when she won. There is a report in a scottish papers saying that during an interview Pete ticked and swore continually and said he isn’t sleeping well at night because of his ticking. Maybe he needs a hug from Nikki. He never had a problem sleeping when Nikki was around.
Even though he says he is really happy now with Gemma I wonder if he is. I wonder if he still dreams about Nikki and he is just fighting with his true feelings.
May be people with tourettes actually find it hard to understand their inter thoughts, but body language can not be faked.
Just when I think I am done with it and completely accept it he does something which puts my mind in a spin. Maybe he needs to get away from everyone and find himself again. I dont want him to be ill.
wow i love big brother i have watched every programme and pete bennett is the best one ever please can big brother send me a email from pete bennett thank you shane

I have just heard what Pete got up to at a S&M night out in front of a crowd with his so called soulmate. OMG.
Thank god Nikki is not going out with him.
All he is doing is damaging any chance of a future in showbizz. And how about all the young fans he has. It is just too much Mr Bennett. Why doesn’t his agent do something or I feel he will be a nobody very soon.
Pete is more of a freak dan Nikki, but all the same Nikki is ugly like WHOA,, very unatractive… dunno wat pete saw in er in the first place.. who ever trev is if u dont give a TOSS why did u write in on it in the 1st place DUH ya fool
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
I think pete is better off without nikki coz she is always throwing paddy fits and needs to get on with life and deal with it that pete has found another girlfriend he is getting married soon so get over it
and if nikki reads this : YOUR MARD EVEN ME LITTLE SIS ACTS OLDER THAN YOU YOU SPOILT B****
pete, i’m writing to inform you that you are a SELFCENTERED NASTY PEICE OF WORK AND YOU ARE SO MEAN DUMPING NIKKI SO WHY DON’T U JUST GO AND DUMP YOU’RE NEW GIRLFRIEND COZ THATS ABOUT ALL YOU’R GOOD AT!
I think she is getting on with her life, and a much better life she will have without a certain person dragging her down.
I do feel sorry for him because he is a own worst enemy.
I LOVE YOU PETE,YOU ARE A STAR…. MAGIC *** 26/12/06
