Pete Wicks sparks romance rumours with Strictly co-star as they’re spotted on dinner date and fans say ‘I knew it!
PETE Wicks has sparked romance rumours with one of his Strictly co-stars, after they were spotted on a dinner date.
The Towie legend, 37, who is single after his split from Love Island beauty Maura Higgins, 34, was seen having fun with another former Islander.
The star in question is Love Island‘s Tasha Ghouri, who is also single after her break-up with Andrew LePage.
Tasha and Pete struck up a friendship during their time on Strictly Come Dancing last year.
Now they have been seen having a dinner out together, and fans are convinced this is the start of a new romance.
They were seen looking cosy as they enjoyed an evening with their fellow Strictly star, Jamie Borthwick.
Fans took to Reddit to discuss the snap, with one saying: “Tasha and Pete, I’ve always kinda thought something since strictly
Another added: “Ya I’ve although so too, and I think Maura did as well.”
Pete is a single man after his split from Maura.
The pair, who were friends for years, started dating while he danced on Strictly and she appeared on I’m A Celeb.
Following their split, the Maura made a savage jibe about Pete “cheating” as she left a restaurant on Valentine’s weekend.
The The Sun on Sunday told how when Maura was asked where Pete was, and she was filmed saying: “I don’t know, probably cheating.”
She later sent herself red roses with a card reading: “To Me, Love Me.”
TASHA’S SPLIT
Meanwhile, Tasha has been moving on from her split from Andrew.
The pair met on Love Island in 2022, and seemed a strong couple.
However, The Sun revealed in January that they had gone their separate ways.
A source said at the time: “Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly.
“She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.
“Now she’s going off on tour she’s going to be away from Andrew again.
“They talked about ending their relationship at the start of January and she’s heading out on the Strictly tour as a single woman.”
A friend close to Tasha confirmed the pair had “hit a rocky patch” and said they had broken up.
PETE’S SWIPE
Meanwhile, last month Pete took a swipe at his ex Maura’s drunken kiss at the Brits Universal after-party.
On his podcast Staying Relevant, which he hosts with Sam Thompson, he told listeners: “A LOT happened at the BRITs, but we’re going to MOVE on from that and tell you about our BRITs experience.
“We then went to the Universal afterparty.”
Pete continued: “NOTHING happened there for us, we had a great time at the Universal afterparty, we stayed there a little bit, had a little f****** few drinks.”
Sam quipped: “We did it RIGHT,” as Pete chimed in: “No no, it’s not that other people did it wrong. No No No!”
Sam went on: “I meant at these parties, you don’t want to linger for too long.We got there a little bit early, got there before the crash happens, had a few drinks, spoke to loads of people and left at about 1am, which is the perfect time before everything gets a bit messy.”
We previously told how Maura and Danny were seen looking close at 3am in the morning.
It was then revealed that the pair stayed at a hotel until 6am sharing wine.
Danny later released a statement on social media apologising to his family.
