Pete Wicks Escapes Maura Higgins Drama with Luxurious Dubai Getaway!
Pete Wicks ‘has moved on and couldn’t care less’ about ex Maura Higgins as drama surrounding her kiss with Danny Jones rumbles on.
Pete, who is 37 years old, and Maura, aged 34, were initially connected back in August of last year. However, TopMob exclusively uncovered that this pair parted ways in February. Later on, Maura was spotted sharing a kiss with Danny Jones from McFly at the BRIT awards.
The former TOWIE star had already booked to go on a lavish 5 star holiday in Dubai meaning he was able to escape the drama.
As a dedicated follower, I’ve learned that Pete has shifted his focus and no longer holds any emotional attachment towards Maura. He seems to be unfazed by the recent commotion surrounding her.
‘He is focusing on himself and enjoying a break in the sun before getting back into work.’
Pete stayed at The Lana hotel, the Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in the Middle East, with rooms starting at £730 per night.
Six years after its groundbreaking, the luxurious five-star hotel finally opened in downtown Dubai last May.
Inside all rooms, interiors have been influenced by modern minimalism and the bright weather of Dubai, featuring outdoor terraces and floor-to-ceiling glass windows providing plenty of natural light.
While Pete soaks up the sun, Maura has thrown herself into work as she is currently on a shoot in Los Angeles with Oh Polly.
Maura made news when videos emerged showing her sharing a kiss with the married McFly member, Danny Jones, during Universal Music’s BRIT Awards afterparty on Saturday night.
In the wake of the scandal, both Maura and Danny have been hit by a wave of criticism, with many furious on behalf of Georgia, Danny’s wife of 10 years and mother of his son.
Amid a period of silence, Danny apologised to his wife Georgia Horsley on Friday for ‘putting her in the situation’.
On Instagram, about two weeks following the event, Danny wrote: “Hey all, I know it’s been a while since my last post, but I needed some time to spend with the people who matter most to me.
‘I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love then so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately. I love you guys, thank you for you patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.’
It appears that Pete made a joke about his ex-girlfriend Maura, referring to some not-so-great events that transpired at the BRITs, in his most recent podcast episode.
Indicating the recent events at the BRIT Awards, Pete made a surprised expression while jokingly saying: “Wow, so much took place during the BRITs! I might as well mention it since… a lot transpired there.
Much took place at the BRITs, but let’s shift focus now. We’d be happy to share with you about our BRIT Awards adventure.
Sam laughed as he smugly added: ‘Our BRITs was great. We had a lovely BRITs experience.’
Before Pete chimed in with: ‘Nothing happened there… for us. But we had a great time, Universal afterparty, we stayed there for a little beer, had a few drinks.’
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, went on the joke that they ‘did it right,’ before Pete put his head in his hands and quipped: ‘No, no, no, it’s not that other people did it wrong.’
Sam then clarified: ‘What I mean is at these parties you don’t want to linger for too long. We got there nice and early, we left the BRITs a little bit early, got there before the crush happens.
‘Had a few drinks, had a really good time, spoke to loads of people and then left at about 1am, which is the perfect time to bounce before everything gets a little bit messy.’
It comes after the news that Pete is reportedly glad his brief relationship with Maura didn’t last as he tries to avoid drama.
The sources indicate that Pete intentionally stays away from attracting much attention, but his kiss with Danny has brought attention onto him, which is something he typically attempts to avoid.
A source told OK! magazine: ‘This sort of attention is exactly what Pete doesn’t want.
‘He’s experienced similar public spectacles like this during his time on TOWIE, and he’s not interested in having a relationship that attracts such attention and drama.
‘It’s a shame because it will probably bring his guard back up and he just wants to find someone he can genuinely love.’
TopMob has contacted Pete’s representative for comment.
In the wake of the kissing scandal, both Maura and Danny have been hit by a wave of criticism, with many furious on behalf of Georgia, Danny’s wife of 10 years and mother of his son.
In the midst of a quiet spell, Danny recently shared multiple birthday wishes posted by fan accounts on Instagram, celebrating his 39th birthday.
A fan’s message said, “Wishing you a joyous birthday to someone who can brighten a space with just a gentle smile. May your day be fantastic, Danny. You truly deserve it! Please remember today how much you are cherished and appreciated by countless individuals. I hope you are doing well and keep shining that beautiful smile.
His supportive bandmate Tom Fletcher also shared a sweet message, penning: ‘Happy birthday mush. Looking forward to standing on stage with you soon’
It comes just one day after Georgia returned to social media to share a snap of the couple’s seven-year-old son Cooper.
Danny and his wife of ten years Georgia were seen for the first time since the scandal as they stepped out for a coffee together in London on Tuesday.
They strolled through the park in a relaxed manner, conversing and enjoying warm beverages as they walked.
Elsewhere during the day, Georgia shared a black and white image of their son Cooper wearing a pair of dark sunglasses while playing on a handheld device.
Not addressing her husband or his recent antics with former Love Island star Maura, Georgia simply captioned her image with a blue love heart emoji.
A host of Georgia’s showbiz pals were quick to share their support for her in the comments.
Sarah Louise Merrygold, wife of JLS star Aston penned: ‘Little dude. sending you all my love.’
Binky Felstead wrote: ‘We got you girl! Adore you.’
Anna Whitehouse shared: ‘Love you darling. We’ve got you.’ Chessie King added: ‘Absolutely adore you, we’re alllll rallied round you.’
Despite receiving a flood of supportive comments, Georgia decided to turn off the comments on all her posts.
Georgia’s husband Danny has yet to publicly comment on the scandal and has not posted on his Instagram main grid since the night of the BRITs, in which he posed for a selfie with KSI and Tom Fletcher.
