‘We spend more time with each other than we did before,’ the TV personality admitted. Pete Wicks has finally addressed rumours of a romance with Love Island and I’m a Celebrity contestant Maura Higgins. The reality TV stars have been romantically linked since June last year, with Higgins publicly admitting that she had kissed the Towie star during her time in the Australian outback.
However, since then the pair have been evasive about the nature of their relationship, with Wicks, who recently finished Strictly Come Dancing, also batting off speculation about dating his co-star Jowita Przystal at the same time. “We have the same sense of humour, she’s super intelligent and I think that is sometimes what people don’t realise about Maura.
“She’s incredibly witty and we have always been there for each other in the past six years at a distance where we have always kind of been friends and been there for each other and whatever else.”. But he hinted: “And that I mean is different now.”.
Wicks admitted: “We spend more time with each other than we did before. I think she’s an incredible person, she was incredibly supportive to me when I was in Strictly and as I did to her when she was in the jungle. “She’s a great person so my relationship with her is that I think she’s a great person and I hope that she would think that I’m alright.”.
Asked by host Paul Brunson, “Are you great together?”, Pete did not deny rumours as he joked, “Oh I see where we are going with this Paul, it is very, very nicely done. The thing with me and Maura is, like I said, we have known each other for a long time and we have never kind of not got on.”.
