EXCLUSIVE VIDEO Pete Bennett gives you a sneak preview of his new album

Big Brother 7 winner performs just for Now Online fans

Big Brother 7 winner Pete Bennett is back – and he’s given us an exclusive preview of his brilliant new album.

The 25-year-old musician, who has Tourette Syndrome, has been taking time out of the spotlight since winning the nation’s vote in 2006 and is returning with a quirky new single, Cosmonaut.

With his usual whacky style, the odd swear word and tons of energy, Pete reckons his band The Love Dogs have a unique style.

‘The sound’s different, its electronic, quite dancey but still rock 'n' roll,’ he tells Now Online. ‘It’s quite experimental.’

And Pete’s got some big names behind him. He's been working with Robbie William's former producer and co-writer Guy Chambers.

‘I did this track with Guy,’ Pete says proudly.

‘I'd just come out of Big Brother and he asked if he could write with me. I didn’t know who he was at first and I forgot his name loads of times!

‘We started writing about a week later. It was hard to get it moving at first but at the end we made some wicked stuff.’

Cosmonaut is out on the 3 March.
