Pete Wicks breaks silence on ‘very close’ relationship with Maura Higgins after they spent first Christmas together
As a devoted admirer speaking in my own voice, I, Pete Wicks, have decided to share some insights into my personal life, addressing the speculations surrounding my ‘very close’ bond with Maura Higgins.
Speculation arose that the celebrity from Strictly Come Dancing, aged 37, and the previous star of Love Island, now 34 years old, might have celebrated Christmas together, as their social media posts suggested they were both in the same pub on December 25th.
Pete, who gained notoriety on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2015, recently opened up about life under the spotlight and managing personal relationships.
In an interview with The Times, he commented: “Our friendship goes way back and is exceptionally strong.
However, much of being in the limelight implies that others expect you to share details of your personal life openly, which is something I’ve consistently chosen not to do.
A hint was given by Maura just a few days ago, suggesting she’s spending a comfortable vacation at home, Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, with Pete Wicks, on Thursday.
Maura posted a video of herself enjoying a peaceful retreat, with a cozy fire burning, while Nat King Cole’s song “Let’s Fall in Love” played softly in the background.
She wrote: ‘Checked into the Farm.’
The star of I’m A Celebrity, after becoming a member for an annual fee of £2,750, chose to stay at the popular celebrity location whose rooms cost £295 per night.
This week, the pair were beaming ear-to-ear, unable to hide their joy, as they departed for their first Christmas holiday season side by side.
Following Pete’s triumphant performance on Strictly Come Dancing and Maura’s experience in I’m A Celebrity…Down Under, this newly formed reality television duo has much to toast.
As I gazed over at my new beau, I couldn’t help but feel like I was walking on sunshine. He mirrored my enthusiasm with his own lively expressions.
At some point, the celebrity from Strictly Let Loose Out Loud when the joyful pair exchanged a funny remark just before departing.
Within hours of returning to the UK from “I’m A Celebrity…”, there was a reunion between Maura and Pete, putting an end to weeks of rumors about their relationship.
In a London hotel, the pair struck a pose alongside their friends, embracing warmly, as they rejoiced and welcomed back Maura who had returned from her 30-day adventure in Australia.
Maura arrived at London Heathrow airport not long ago, clearly eager to meet Strictly celebrity Pete as quickly as she could.
On Wednesday evening, radiant Maura shared a mirror selfie from her friend on her Instagram Stories, featuring a bunch of friends amidst a backdrop of jungle-themed balloons.
In the jungle, it appeared that Maura had been dating Pete, as they were spotted sharing a kiss only a few weeks prior to her journey to Australia.
When Oti Mabuse, the former Strictly Come Dancing star, inquired about my relationship status, I responded that I am currently single. However, prior to this, I was seeing someone, but at present, I do not have a romantic partner.
As a devoted admirer, reflecting upon my past, I recall the moment when Reverend Richard Coles, an original member of the ’80s synth-pop sensation The Communards, posed a question that left me pondering: “Was it exclusive? Or, if I’ve caught you off guard, please accept my apologies!” After a thoughtful pause, she answered with candor, saying, “I’m not sure.
Moreover, Maura disclosed that they had been acquainted for a longer period than their followers might assume, and she mentioned that Pete had persistently courted her.
‘Yeah, we’ve known each other since five years, and never once…” she told Oti.
He would often express, “It seems we might have a date planned, somewhere or another.” To which I would reply, “That’s not the case.” My tone was firm and sincere, “That’s not the case. You seem to be mistaken.
After leaving the show, she appeared on “This Morning” expressing her eagerness about possibly running into Pete again when she returned to the UK. She also confessed that Pete played a role in her choice to enter the jungle.
She expressed that he has been incredibly supportive. I wasn’t sure if he was still participating in Strictly, but I’m extremely proud of him. He feels the same way about me, and I’m eagerly anticipating seeing him again.
When asked for the reason behind her change of heart, Maura shared: ‘He persisted. And eventually, I found myself saying, “Well, alright then”.’
I invited my friends along on that occasion, and I remarked, “It’s a friend-centric outing.” The following time, however, I went solo.
On their initial meeting, she acknowledged that the evening was extravagant, explaining, “We indulged in oysters and fine wine, absolutely lovely.
In terms of our dynamic, I’d say it’s quite lively. We’re always in touch, day and night if you will. Our humor seems to be a perfect match as well.
While on Strictly Come Dancing, Pete frequently shared Maura’s Instagram posts, which were managed by her friends and relatives during her time in Australia. He also encouraged fans to cast their votes for her. This indicated that he was thinking about Maura throughout the show.
He quipped: ‘I’ve been George of the Jungle but now it’s time to vote for Maura of the Jungle’.
Previously, The Mail on Sunday disclosed that Pete had ended his romantic relationship with dance partner Jowita Przystal. This decision was made due to his strong desire to win over Maura’s affections instead.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must confess that I’ve found myself deeply captivated by the allure of the ‘Jungle Star,’ whom I’ve been enjoying a casual courtship with over the past five months. My heart skips a beat whenever our paths cross, and I eagerly look forward to our future encounters.
When he began Strictly and met Jowita, Maura gave up any hope of the relationship continuing.
A friend said: ‘Before Maura entered the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive.
‘But Maura, aware of Pete’s reputation and his close bond with Jowita, decided to slow things down.
‘She gave him an ultimatum: either commit to her or let it go. So she went off a single woman.
‘Since then, Pete has gone all-in, openly expressing his feelings to anyone who’ll listen’.
