BOYS DON'T CRY (BUT THEY MIGHT HUG A BEAR)

Apologies again to anyone who thinks that even mentioning Big Brother is a cultural faux pas on a par with, say, Chris Moyles talking to Paul Daniels (or, more likely, Paul Daniels talking to Chris Moyles), but we're very taken with the news that Pete cherishes his teddy bear.

A teddy bear given to him by friend-of-his-mother Robert Smith.

You can imagine the horror running through a parent's mind if someone out The Cure turned up at your house with a brightly-wrapped package "for your son...": It's not... it's not a dead thing, is it? Or a skull?
