Pete Wicks Seeks Fresh Start with New Love Interest
Pete Wicks, the 37-year-old Strictly Come Dancing semi-finalist, has reportedly moved on from his recent split with Maura Higgins, 34, and is said to be dating another Love Island star, Samantha Kenny, 27. According to Metro.co.uk, Pete was first linked to Maura last summer, but their relationship fizzled out after she returned to the UK from the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
The Metro.co.uk report claims that Pete has been seen out clubbing in London with Samantha, who was a contestant on series 11 of the ITV2 dating show Love Island last year. Samantha was dumped from the Majorcan villa after just over two weeks, but it seems she has since found a special someone outside of the show.
A source told The Sun, as reported by Metro.co.uk, that “Pete and Samantha have gone on a few dates and have really hit it off. She’s got a wicked sense of humour and is absolutely gorgeous.” The insider added that Samantha is a “fresh start” for Pete, who was reportedly “relieved” to be away from the drama when ex-girlfriend Maura was caught kissing married McFly star Danny Jones at the Brit Awards, weeks after their breakup.
Pete’s relationship history includes Towie star Chloe Sims, Celebrity Big Brother’s Ella Rae Wise, Jess Wright, and Megan McKenna. Meanwhile, his close mate Sam Thompson recently went through a breakup with his girlfriend of five years, Zara McDermott. Metro.co.uk reports that Sam has been exchanging flirty messages with series 9 Love Island contestant Samie Elishi, 25.
According to Metro.co.uk, a source told The Sun that “Sam found the split and its public fallout very hard, but Samie has put a smile back on his face. She is a stunning girl, and he’s told a few pals about her. He seems excited.” It is “obviously early days” for the pair, but it sounds like things are looking up in the love department for Sam and Pete once more.
