Maura Higgins reaches out to Pete Wicks from Australia as Strictly future hangs in balance

Maura Higgins has been adjusting to life outside of her 5-star hotel since leaving I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

However, it appears that the 34-year-old TV star made sure to take advantage of her busy schedule to text her boyfriend Pete Wicks as he works to pass the Strictly Come Dancing final. Taking to her Instagram account, Maura, who found fame on Love Island back in 2019, posted a video of Pete performing on the BBC show.

And she captioned her post saying: “Go on @pete_Wicks01!! Let’s get them to the final”. She then posted a link to “Vote Powita” encouraging her followers to vote for him. In recent months, Maura and the former TOWIE star’s relationship has become a hot topic, but the pair have consistently refrained from confirming or refuting reports.

However, Maura finally revealed her relationship to Pete while she was in the jungle when she spoke with her fellow campmate Oti Mabuse. Before committing to romance, the former Love Island star acknowledged that she had been dating Pete for five years. However, it appears he had repeatedly expressed his emotions to Maura and continued to do so.

Oti, who is best known for her work on Strictly, inquired about what Maura needed to change to accept the reality TV star’s advances. And in response, the Irish star simply said: “He wouldn’t give up”. Maura admitted that she had brought her friends with her because she had refused to admit that she was dating Pete and was going on a romantic relationship.

She responded to Oti, “I actually brought my friends with me and I was like, “See it’s a friendship date. ” After a boozy night out, the pair enjoyed another date without her pals around. They had oysters and wine on the way home.

And Maura’s admission that they both laugh and laugh in “24/7” makes it seem like they couldn’t be more compatible. Despite expressing her feelings for Pete, Maura remained a little aloof when describing her relationship with him as being open.

Maura quickly clarified that she was single while she washed her underwear with GK Barry. She said: “I’m single. People can date without being in a relationship, and they can move things along. What’s the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don’t know where it’s gonna go, you know”?

At the National Television Awards after-party earlier this year, Pete and Maura had a close relationship. At the time, a source said: “Pete did look cosy with Maura at points but he wasn’t shy about telling people he was single”.
