TOURETTE’S sufferer Pete Bennett has branded Big Brother bosses a bunch of “w***ers” for dumping him from the champions show.

The singer, 28, was told he was not “interesting enough” for Ultimate Big Brother, which starts next week.

The show, which will mark the end of BB, features some of the best and worst characters from the last 10 years.

Popular Pete, who won BB7 and highlighted swearing syndrome Tourette’s, was all set to go in.

But then he received a call from bosses saying he had been ditched and would miss the chance of a £10,000 pay day.

Gutted Pete blasted: “I’m upset. I’m annoyed. I’m angry. I think it’s f***ing outrageous what they’ve done.

“I did all the psych tests and was told I was in – then all of a sudden I’m dropped.

“I did a lot of good the last time and had so many letters from other people with Tourette’s saying I’d helped them.”

Pete’s devastated mum Anne added: “My son is one of the most popular winners ever.

“I am really f***ed off. I’m so worked up that it sounds like I’ve got Tourette’s as well!”

Last night Channel 4 declined to comment, but a source said: “He just isn’t one of the most interesting candidates now.”

Among those going on the show, which starts on August 24, are racing pundit John McCririck, 70, and Chantelle Houghton, 26.

There have been 180 former housemates and 68 celebrity housemates....

So why are they going for all the 'celebrity' ones??

And love him or not Pete was a winner and they really should be striving to gets as many previous winners in there as possible....

It should be a winners show with a few others more interesting ex housemates there to make up the numbers.

Just found this too.

Ultimate Big Brother housemates

In just a few short hours, Big Brother 11 will come to an end and Ultimate Big Brother will begin, reuniting former housemates with celebrity housemates and all of them with this year's champ. The rumours about which BB peeps have been deemed "Ultimate-worthy" by the powers over at Channel 4 have been varied, but now we think we have a few definite names. Reported to be going back into the BB house tonight will be Preston and Chantelle (yes we know! Exciting or what?!), Coolio, Nikki Grahame, Brain Dowling, Makosi, Nadia Almada and Vanessa Feltz, although she'll only be popping in to take part in a task. Probably for the best, considering she went a wee bit doolally after just a few days last time. Preston and Chantelle though, eh? And Nikki Grahame vs Makosi vs Coolio. It's going to be one hectic few weeks - and we can't wait!

Make sure you join us on Twitter tonight as we talk you through the final and the start ofUltimate Big Brother. It'll be lots of fun, we promise.

Big Brother, tonight, Channel 4, 8pm

Hope that's true.  I thought he was a certainty for UBB.
Me too Carnelian  Mind you if they are doing a quiz when they first go in and the 3 with the lowest score have to leave, you'd have to say Brian would be a contender
