Aisleyne Horgan Wallace has claimed that Pete and Nikki’s relationship since leaving the big brother house has all been a sham so that they could “make a kill” on their re-emergance.
After reports that Pete had ended things this week, Aisleyne admitted: ‘As soon as I heard they split up it came as no shock to me, no surprise.
‘[Pete] deserves someone who wants him for him and not who he is,’ ITN reports her as saying.
She added: ‘She had the opportunity to go outside the house and see how popular he was and then come back in and make a kill. I’m glad Pete got out before he got hurt.’
Sticking the knife in further, when asked about Nikki’s new show, Princess Nikki, Aisleyne said: ‘It’s not entertainment to me. Sorry, I’m a busy girl I’ve got things to do I can’t be sitting at home watching Nikki crying.’

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?

Ofcom received more than 270 complaints from viewers claiming that Big Brother exploited vulnerable contestants and encouraged bullying in its most recent series.
It was criticised by mental health charities after Shahbaz Chaudhry threatened to kill himself on air, sparking claims that the makers had exploited the self proclaimed “Paki Poof’s” volatile mental state. Some viewers also said the show used winner Pete Bennett’s Tourette’s condition as a form of entertainment.
But Ofcom rejected the complaints, saying “adults make informed decisions about their participation in such programmes” and it was not for the watchdog to over-ride those decisions.
It also defended Petes being placed in the house, saying: “There is rightly no reason why someone with a disability cannot and should not exercise the same degree of informed choice as any other adult - including choosing to enter the Big Brother house.”
I am sure that Dawn Blake will have something to say about this!

Grace attacked outside a club in central London.
When one of her friends got into an argument with some guy, big brother housemate Grace stepped in to try and calm things. The man hit her, (trying to hit her friend but knocked her to the ground) kicked her in the head and even burned her with a cigarette. After being admitted to the hospital, she needed eight stitches
Grace had this to say. “The guy just lashed out because I tried to stop him hurting my friend. He was an animal. I hope he is found and punished.” “The doctors have said I’ll be scarred for life.”

A very depressed Nikki Grahame revealed to the press this weekend that she has been sensationally dumped by Big Brother winner Pete Bennet, and all because he couldn’t cope with her famous tantrums.
When speaking to The News Of The World, Nikki, 24, confessed to flying into one of her famous hissy fits when she was squirted with vodka at Pete’s friends party.
She said: “Everyone knows how obsessed I am about hygiene. I thought I’d been spat at so you can imagine how I reacted.”
Pete also got angry complained about his pets smelling like ‘doggy woggies’.
But Nikki protested: “That’s hardly a good reason for someone to end a relationship.
“I’ve never been so happy in my whole life as I was with Pete—but right now I’ve never felt so low.”
Pete spoke to Nikki last Wednesday and told her that he didn’t want a relationship and just wanted to be friends.
Nikki said: “I told him, ‘But I love you very much.’ Then he told me he felt differently. I could not believe what I was hearing. I said, ‘I love you so much I will do anything for you. I’ll always fight your corner. I still want to be with you.’
“He said to me, ‘But it’s only me Nikki’ meaning he wasn’t worthy of the love I was giving him. I cried for two days when he told me. I’m still finding it hard to cope now.
“People come up to me in the street and say, ‘How’s Pete?’ and the tears flow.”
Nikki is adamant that her’s and Pete’s relationship was real despite what people may think, she stated:
“It was a very, very real relationship, not just a TV romance.”
What do you think? Do you believe her?

Rumours are abound that the Big Brother couple of the year are no more, and friends of Pete Bennett and Nikki Grahame are insisting that the couple have already broken up.
Pals of Tourette’s sufferer Pete even told The Sun that the relationship had never been genuine in the first place.
Former Housemate Richard Newman commented: “I don’t think they were ever going out.
“He might have fancied her but it was a friendship blown out of proportion for the media.”
Of course Nikki’s publicist has a different story to tell, and has confirmed that the pair are definitely still an item……but she would say that wouldn’t she!

Not Me!
But apparently Aisleyne believes that is the way to get a bit of publicity. Just look at what she wore to the London premiere of Talladega Nights.
Has the girl no shame!

STV reports
Big Brother’s Golden Ticket draw to select a new housemate breached prize promotion rules, industry watchdogs have announced.
Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol failed to have an independent observer present when a winning number was picked, according to the Advertising Standards Authority.
Officials launched an investigation after 11 viewers complained about the way model Susie Verrico won her place in the house.
The Golden Ticket promotion involved 100 tickets being hidden inside KitKat bars.
A live lottery-style draw was then broadcast in which one ticketholder’s number was picked.
Some viewers thought the draw was rigged and 43-year-old Susie had been pre-selected as winner.
The ASA has criticised Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol for failing to ensure an independent observer was present immediately before and during the live draw.
The ASA ruling said: “We investigated whether the promotion was conducted under the supervision of an independent observer.
“On this point, the promotion breached the Committee of Advertising Practice Code clause 35.7 (prize promotions).”
It told the competition’s promoters to ensure competitions complied with the code in future.
The ASA rejected complaints from viewers who thought the ball numbers were rigged.
An independent observer had signed a check-sheet proving that 34 numbered balls had entered the draw.
Slow-motion footage showed the winning ball was “undoubtedly” Susie Verrico’s winning number 14, the ASA found.
In a joint response Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol said an observer was not present during the draw because Big Brother rules prevented outsiders coming into contact with housemates.
They said the draw was carried out in the presence of 10 housemates under continuous monitoring by a production team while watched live by five million viewers.

In a recent interview with OK magazine Big brother housemate Imogen Thomas has revealed all about fellow housemates Grace Adam-Short and Mikey Dalton.
She stated:
“I’ve heard that Grace said a lot of things about me and, although I did get on with her in the first two or three weeks, my opinion did change.
“Just as she was evicted I started to make other friends in the house and I found I liked them better then her.�
When asked if she thought that Grace’s and Mikey’s relationship was the real thing Imogen answered with a firm “No�.
However, she does not think Grace is totally using Mikey: “It’s both ways…I don’t even think he’s that into her to tell you the truth. I haven’t spoken to him or anything like that but I can usually tell.�

BIG Brother star Lea Walker attacked a radio DJ when he threatened to play audio from her porn video live on air.
Kerrang! Radio ’shock jock’Tim Shaw told her he had footage from her film Casting Cuties 4 on his mobile phone and was going to play it to listeners.
Lea wrestled the phone from his grip and smashed it on the floor before storming out.
‘She just flipped out and started whacking me over the head,’ said Shaw yesterday.
‘She was sitting there as good as gold but as soon as I mentioned her porn video she went crazy.’
Listeners to the interview, broadcast from the Kerrang! studios in Birmingham on Wednesday night, earlier heard Lea protest when Shaw threatened to play the video.
‘Why would you want to do that,’ she asked. ‘It was a mistake that I made and it was a long time ago. You cannot be judged for things that happened years ago.’

Big Brother’s 2006 winner Pete Bennett is said to be working on his first album with an acclaimed songwriter.
Pete, who gained mass popularity on the show for his off-beat antics, was previously in a band with friends in Brighton known as Daddy Fantastic.
However, the new material is reported to be a solo effort.
Guy Chambers, who is behind hits such as Robbie Williams’ Angels, is now working with Pete, and, according to the Sun, believes he can turn him into a “Billy Idol for the 21st century”.
A friend of Pete reportedly told the paper: “Pete’s a fan of Billy Idol. Let’s face it, he looks a lot like him so Guy’s using that as a template.”

Some of Pete Bennetts friends from his former, non-famous, life are miffed with Pete’s lack of contact since leaving the Big brother house.
One friend Richard Nye is upset and said to the Star: “We know he is still under contract to Channel 4 be we thought we might have been able to get in touch.
“But he’s not answering his phone and is very vulnerable and easily led. We’re worried he could be taken advantage of.�
I wonder if girlfriend Nikki Grahame allows Pete to have friends? After all he has her now doesn’t he?
September 4th, 2006 by Lisa McGarry. Tags: Big Brother, big brother 2006, big brother 7, Grace Adam Short, Mikey Dalton
Mikey Dalton has declared to the world this week that he thinks girlfriend Grace Adam Short is ‘The One’!
Mikey and Grace have been inseparable since their exit. Mikey said, ‘We’ve chatted about it. The other day she wore her ring on her wedding finger – I don’t know if that was a hint.’
Mikey went on to say, ‘But we’re not engaged yet. I don’t want to rush things and ruin it – I have such strong feelings for her.’
Of course this would have nothing to do with the amount of media coverage Big Brother couples Pete and Nikki and Chantelle and Preston have been getting this month would it?
