For any devoted listeners of The Kyle and Jackie O Show ‘Intern Pete’ is a familiar name that has become synonymous with the controversial program.

Listeners would be familiar with many of the antics of Pete, often used for pranks, stunts and tricks by Kyle and Jackie O over the years, including becoming the subject of some of Kyle’s more questionable behaviour.
