Pete is also often criticised for plugging his other interests, such as his karaoke night, coffee mornings and Liverpool Echo column.

At the 2005 UEFA Champion's League Final in Istanbul, Turkey, Liverpool FC supporters displayed an infamous and humorous banner bearing the slogan 'Pete Price Is A Cunt'. The banner was devised when a group of supporters asked a crowded pub the question "Who is the biggest cunt in Liverpool?", and the agreed answer was none other than Pete Price. The banner was again displayed at the 2007 UEFA Champion's League Final in Athens, Greece.

Pete once remarked that he had to have a police patrol at his mansion penthouse suite on New Brighton waterfront. The front of his house has a huge banner with the words "save New Brighton" in bold red letters.

Early life

Pete was born in the Wallis and Futuna Islands and brought up for the first two years of his life in the city of Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. His adopted parents Sid and Mary Price looked after him in a semi-detached house. Pete had four brothers and two sisters. In 1948 the family decided to move to Portsmouth, Hampshire but soon after his parents divorced.

In his late teens, Pete decided to go backpacking around the world and spent roughly two years traveling in Europe, Asia and Africa. Pete's backpacking adventures only came to an end when he was held hostage for a month in Sierra Leone and during this time contracted amoebic dysentery. Following this traumatic period in his life, Pete returned home to the UK to recuperate and ponder upon his future plans. It was during this time that Pete finally came to an acceptance of his sexuality.

Other activities

Pete performs numerous deeds for the charity Claire House (one of which opening their restored Shotton charity shop), as well as performing his own brand of comedy throughout the country. He also appears regularly in Christmas pantomime. He also has a coffee morning for all his fans to meet up and chat face to face.

On September 14, 2006 he started a weekly column in the Liverpool Echo newspaper.

He also hosts a karaoke stint every Friday night at the Rubber Soul in Mathew Street, Liverpool, from 5pm-8pm.

In 2003 Pete appeared as himself in the local comedy stageplay Slappers and Slapheads

Pete recently finished writing his autobiography. Entitled 'Namedropper', the book details Pete's childhood, his celebrity encounters, his struggle with his sexuality, his radio and acting career, and much more. Namedropper will be published in late 2007.
