Maura Higgins has reportedly ditched Pete Wicks from her social media months after their split. And it appears that his close pal Olivia Attwood has also had the chop by the Irish beauty.
The former Love Island star, 34, and TOWIE man, 37, called time on their brief romance in February after appearing to be growing closer. Shortly after, Maura made a comment about Pete “cheating”.
Her remarks had Olivia quick to defend her mate insisting that was not the case. She took to Instagram previously to say cheating is “not funny” and said Pete “didn’t cheat”. Now, following the incident, it appears that Maura has had enough of the pair and is moving on without them.
According to the Sun, the duo have followed Maura’s move and have also clicked the unfollow button on the reality TV star’s account. Pete and Maura allegedly had a number of rocky rows prior to their split.
They had initially started dating last year, but never officially went public with their link-up – nor did they deny it. They were, however, spotted looking cosy on a number of occasions.
The pair are said to have known each other for six years before they took their connection to the next level. but only started dating in 2024. Rumours the ex The Only Way Is Essex hunk and former Love Island star were dating began to swirl last year as the Mirror revealed they shared a smooch at the Pride of Britain Awards in October.
Maura later posted a steamy TikTok video of the pair practicing a dance move. In the clip, Pete was seen holding on to Maura’s leg as she lay on the floor. She then pulled herself up into a standing position, before the duo shared a hug and Maura raised her arm towards the camera.
At the time, the post sent fans into overdrive and questioning their relationship. During her stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Maura kept her cards close to her chest, but gave little hints of their pairing.
Away from her love life, Maura won’t be returning to the American version of Love Island. She had previously hosted the stateside version of Aftersun.
However, a new presenter has now been revealed. Maura, who was also the social media host of the show, reportedly won’t return due conflicting schedule issues. Instead, she will be replaced by Sophie Monk. The star is already familiar with how Love Island works due to being the host of the Australian version.
Maura’s exit isn’t thought to be an “axing” but is rather her stepping back. She is said to be focusing on other projects instead, with some fans believing she could come back to host Aftersun for the second season of Love Island Games, which is set to film in Fiji later this year.
