Please can anyone advise if I can add a new one?

Yes you can. Some people will immediately say no way, but if you feel your GP has an easygoing personality, then theres no reason you can't introduce a new male to the other one. We're in the process of doing that ourselves just now, getting baby Steve and 1 year old Gizmo to liek each other. So far its going well, we've had a few humping issues, but yesterday they didn't hump at all. Take it slowly and it should work.
As someone else said, getting a rescue pig would work also, most of the rescues will be neutered and a neuter should get along fine with your other one. Plus you'll be giving a needy pet a home!
Good luck!
