Pete Burns TV turnoff

Pete Burns TV vow

2 October 2007 - Pete Burns has vowed never to watch himself on TV.

The Dead of Alive singer - who is the star of a new reality show 'Pete's PA' - has no desire to ever see his own show.

Pete told Britain's New magazine: "I didn't see this year's 'Celebrity Big Brother'. I didn't even see the one I was in last year.

"Once I've done something, I don't feel the need to watch it back. Same with 'Pete's PA'. No disrespect to the show but I won't watch it."

The 48-year-old star - who married boyfriend Michael Simpson in July - also revealed he has no plans to start a family as he can barely look after his domestic appliances.

He said: "I don't feel equipped to defrost the fridge, let alone look after a kid! We've got a Persian cat and that's tough enough."

But Pete's partner Michael would like to adopt in the future.

He said: "I'd love to adopt. Maybe in the future. I've got lots of love to give and if there's a child out there who needs some love, getting it from an ageing gay man is better than from no one. I never understand the policies on adoption that make it so difficult. Love is love, isn't it?"
