Pete Wicks was heard telling guests at the Pride of Britain Awards that he is single, just hours before he was spotted kissing Maura Higgins at the star-studded event
Pete Wicks caused quite the stir at the Pride of Britain Awards, where he was caught sharing a kiss with Maura Higgins . Despite this, the ex-TOWIE star claimed he's on the market during the event on Monday night.
The 35 year old Strictly Come Dancing sensation was overheard by celebs and guests alike, asserting his solo status just moments before he was spotted with the Love Island stunner. Pete, who was presenting red carpet interviews alongside his best pal Sam Thompson, didn't hold back about being unattached as he chatted up the stars heading into the event – he was even heard saying: "I'm single.
"Pete did look cosy with Maura at points but he wasn't shy about telling people he was single," the insider reported. "He was proudly declaring himself single on the red carpet during interviews and even made a joke of not being in a relationship in the bar after the awards."The couple, who have previously remained tight-lipped over rumours of a romance over recent months, partied until the early hours at the hotel's Red Bar.
Meanwhile, Maura, who was a finalist on Love Island also posted about the event. She said: "A truly special evening." And in another post believed to have been published since news of her kiss with Pete broke, she was seen posing in a hotel lobby and penned: "Dreamy hotel @themayfairtownhouse."
