Maura Higgins Slams ‘Cheating’ Ex Pete Wicks on Valentine’s Night Out!
On Valentine’s Day this week, Maura Higgins delivered a sharp critique of her former partner, Pete Wicks, who was accused of infidelity.
Earlier this week, it was disclosed that the reality TV stars, aged 34 and 37 respectively, have decided to separate following a string of disagreements. (Love Island star and TOWIE star)
At high-profile events like the red carpet, and during a romantic retreat in Ireland around New Year’s, they were often seen affectionately kissing and spending intimate time together. However, they parted company not long afterwards.
On a Friday evening, as Maura parted ways from Sheesh restaurant in London accompanied by her friends, she broached the subject of their separation for the initial time.
In a video acquired by The Sun, when the photographer inquired about Pete’s location, Maura responded, “I’m not sure, he might be up to something suspicious.
In a striking red minidress adorned with rose appliqués and boasting a bustier neckline, the popular Irish TV host deliberately highlighted to her ex what he had let go.

Earlier this week, TopMob revealed Maura and Pete had decided they were ‘better off as friends’.
‘Maura and Pete have decided to call off their romance,’ an insider said.
‘There have been a few clashes and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends.
People who are most familiar with them understand that their relationship has had its ups and downs, hence their initial reluctance to make it public. Despite this, they continue to maintain a strong bond and have a deep emotional tie.
My buddy mentioned: “There’s always a chance with Maura and Pete, their connection is quite powerful, so one might not entirely dismiss the idea of them getting back together – perhaps even soon.
Maura joined the I’m A Celebrity jungle later than Reverend Richard Coles, whereas Pete entertained BBC audiences by dancing with professional partner Jowita Przystal simultaneously on Strictly Come Dancing.
Once both shows concluded, the couple lastly found an opportunity to reconnect, celebrating Christmas at Glasson Lakehouse Co., Westmeath – not far from Maura’s hometown in Ireland.
In a podcast interview held in January, Pete openly shared his affection for Maura, revealing that they’ve been providing mutual support from a distance for about six years.


He said: ‘Maura and I have known each other for a long time now… about six years.
‘Maura shares my humor and is exceptionally smart, a trait that often goes unnoticed by others.’
She has an exceptional sense of humor that we’ve both appreciated over the past six years, even when we were apart.
Things have changed; we’re spending more quality time together lately compared to earlier periods. I find her to be an exceptional individual, and I genuinely hope she feels the same about me.
It’s been said that Pete, during his time on Strictly, developed a strong bond with dance partner Jowita. In an open conversation, he discussed his struggles with making commitments, confessing that the thought of settling down makes him feel apprehensive.
Previously, he was involved in relationships with fellow TOWIE cast members Megan McKenna, Shelby Tribble, Chloe Sims, and Ella Rae Wise.
In 2019, Maura developed feelings for Curtis Pritchard while both were contestants on Love Island. Following that show, she started dating Chris Taylor, whom she had also come to know during the series.
On Love Island in 2019, Maura fell for Curtis Pritchard and later dated Chris Taylor, who she met on the same show.
After their separation, Maura was involved with dance professional Giovanni Pernice from Strictly Come Dancing, but they ended their relationship four months later.
As a lifestyle connoisseur looking back on the whirlwind of events at the National TV Awards in 2022, I myself found myself in an intriguing situation after being caught sharing a tender kiss on the red carpet with none other than Joey Essex from TOWIE. However, to set the record straight, we both swiftly dismissed any rumors hinting towards a romantic entanglement between us.
In March 2024, Maura split from stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton after ten months together.
In the chilly month of January, I shared with The Times that I was content and joyful at the moment, when they inquired about my romantic situation with Pete.
