Fans of Big Brother favourite Pete Stephenson have been registering in their thousands on a website dedicated to his band.

MySpace.com has had 172,000 people registering on Brighton band Daddy Fantastic's page as "friends" since the Channel 4 reality TV show started.

MySpace has been forced to rebuild the page but has uploaded just 400 of the friends so far.

Pete, 24, has charmed housemates despite suffering from Tourette's Syndrome, which causes him to blurt out swear words involuntarily.

Yesterday, Imogen, the former Miss Wales, suggested her relationship with Sezer was just flirting. Richard then turned on Pete and Lisa who were sitting arm-in-arm.

He said: "It's not like you two, you're madly in love with each other."

Lisa replied: "Ahhh I do love him."

Unhappy Dawn left the house yesterday for breaking the rules.
