Pete Burns has claimed that the recent series of Celebrity Big Brother was rigged so that the non-celebrity Chantelle Houghton would win.

“I am absolutely confident, whether they want to sue me or not, that it’s rigged. It was obvious Chantelle was going to win,” he said.

Pete Burns of band Dead Or Alive also criticised the editing team stating “Everybody has a role that they’re edited into, it’s an extremely creative show that’s put together by a team of eminent psychologists to hit people’s trigger points.”

Its obvious that Pete feels hard done by. At heart he is clearly a sweet little pussy cat who wouldn’t hurt a fly, but that big bad editing team made him look like a school bully and a nasty spiteful man/woman. If we the public had seen the true him of course we would have wanted Pete instead of Chantelle to win!

Pull the other one Pete!

I can think of more romantic ways to break the news but yesterday saw Pete Burns and his now fiance Michael Simpson showing off their diamonte skull rings and announcing their engagement live on Richard and Judys Channel 4 show.

Pete told Richard and Judy: “We’ve been together in a former life.

“I lost him a lifetime ago and I’ve been looking for him ever since. He’s a physical part of me.�

The celebrity big brother contestant said of the jewellery: “It symbolises that underneath all this there is bone and underneath that is soul.�

However Michael did seem to be sporting a bit of a black eye at the time, I wonder if Pete had to beat him into the decision!

They were tipped all week as being the new number one of the singles chart but it seems that the three weeks of heavy promotion of his single by Preston in the Big Brother house wasn’t enough to guarantee the top spot.

This week saw the top ten dominated by Big Brother singles, with The Ordinary boys reaching number three with their single “Boys Will Be Boys” and Pete Burns band ‘Dead Or Alive” reached number five with ‘You Spin Me Round’.
