Following his most recent breakup with Maura Higgins, Pete Wicks has recently moved into a new bachelor pad apartment.

The 37-year-old former TOWIE star has relocated from Harlow to east London for a new beginning and is reportedly spending £2,400 on the plush one-bedroom apartment each month. The reality TV show favorite’s brand-new residence in the high-rise apartment complex has a rooftop bar and gym, making it ideal for Eric and Peggy to run around freely on the rooftop garden.

Pete has been sharing snippets of his big move on his Instagram accounts after his reported recent breakup with 34-year-old Irish beauty Maura. The Celebs Go Dating star posted a photo of himself lugging the seemingly endless cardboard boxes up and down the elevator to his apartment on Tuesday. As he modelled a long-lined wool coat, Pete took a selfie in the lift mirror. “And we’re still going”, he captioned the snap as he hinted at the exhausting move.

According to insiders, Pete still has his first home in Essex, but has made the move to East London to better his career. “Pete now has a one-bedroom apartment in the middle of London,” he says. Given that he is constantly working and will co-host his Kiss radio show with Olivia every Sunday, it’s exactly what he needs at the moment.

” He still has his home in Essex so essentially, he has the best of both worlds. Moving is stressful for anyone but Pete relocated on Valentine’s Day as his breakup from Maura was revealed… it was definitely an intense weekend, “a source told Mail Online. It comes after Pete’s split with Maura which took place just before Valentine’s Day.

Former Love Island and I’m A Celebrity!…. Get Me Out of Here! Since September, Pete has been in contact with star Maura. When she told her fellow campmates that she was finally content with a new connection, Maura even admitted how deeply she felt for Pete while living in the Australian jungle. However, last week, it was reported that the pair called it quits on their love story. After their respective appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and I’m a Celebrity last year, the pair said they were “better off as friends.”

Maura’s infamous savage dig at Pete on Valentine’s Day may have contributed to the split, which she may have taken quite personally. On Valentine’s Day, the Irish bombshell had a lavish dinner with friends in London. As she styled her new locks in a straight-stylish manner, Maura looked incredible while wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress. As the cameras flashed, Maura and her male friend exchanged hands. However, when asked where Pete was by photographers, Maura quipped:” Dunno, probably out cheating. “

Maura’s former flame Pete is said to be ‘ hurt ‘ by the cheating allegations. Close friends of Pete have refuted the rumors and asserted that the reality TV star has “nothing wrong” with them. Following reports that Maura found” loads of messages with other women, “the source has said that they were” innocent”. After Maura “was suspicious of Pete and” whether he might have been messing with her,” an insider told the Sun that the two had parted ways.

However, speaking to MailOnline, another source said that Pete” did nothing wrong “and” did not cheat”. They claimed that his messages to friends and coworkers were just innocent exchanges of messages, and that it wasn’t cheating. He frequently texts friends of the same sex. The source continued, making the claim that the “story is” unfair given that Pete, who was once viewed as a “bad boy,” has worked really hard on himself over the years. They remarked, “Peter has always been open and honest about past mistakes and his relationship struggles.

They claimed that he was “always” with Maura right from the beginning of their romance, and the source claimed that continuing the story as he is now a “better man” is unfair. They added that it’s” not the same old “Pete, as he has” worked really hard “to” mature “and” better himself “previously. The source went on to tell the outlet:” He hasn’t done anything wrong and Maura’s claims are unsubstantiated and just bizarre. “They added that Pete” still adores her “and doesn’t want to” trash her, “either publicly or in private.

She believed she was being proven wrong when she discovered his phone’s extensive list of messages from other women. Even though the messages were all innocent, she knew she couldn’t ever feel like trusting him. She didn’t want to be constantly worried about what her man was doing, “they added.

This story needs to be covered in The Mirror’s request for comment from Maura and Pete’s respective representatives.
