Pete Wicks’ romance blow as Maura Higgins declares ‘I have bad taste in men’

Maura Higgins, 34, has candidly acknowledged her “terrible taste in men” and emphasised her independence amid her budding romance with TOWIE’s Pete Wicks, 36.

The couple, who began dating in August, have maintained a relatively private relationship, offering fans only brief glimpses into their connection. When questioned about her dating history in a recent interview, the Love Island star responded positively to the questioning of her lack of judgment about men.

She expressed contentment with her current life, stating: “I don’t feel like I need a man. But I’ll date, and I’ll see where something goes, and if it happens, it happens”. When asked in an interview if she has a “terrible taste in men”, the Love Island star simply responded: “Yes”.

Opening up about her dating life to The Times , she admitted, “It would be lovely” to be in love. When questioned about her current relationship status, she added, she’s “happy now”. About relationships, Pete previously told The Times: “]Settling down] is the bit I just can’t do. I freak out the minute a relationship gets to the point where I appear to be having an impact on someone’s life.

Maura sparingly discussed her relationship with him while spending weeks in Australia for I’m A Celebrity without using his name. After Pete’s best friend Sam Thompson cheekily “welcomed Maura to the family” when she appeared on the spin-off I’m A Celebrity, Unpacked, the reality stars started to appear to be the real deal.

They quickly reunited after she left the UK, and they recently shared photos of themselves looking loved-up just before Christmas. And now, Pete opened up about his private life in a new interview. He explained: “We’ve known each other for a very, very long time”. He then added the following three words: “We’re very close”.

Maura previously addressed the romance rumours on an appearance of This Morning after getting eliminated from I’m A Celeb, telling Alison Hammond: “You do forget about the cameras, and I do like to keep things private, but let’s be real, I said it. I can’t remember saying it, but I said the words ‘ I miss him’.

” I do miss him, like I missed all my friends and family. Honestly, he’s been so supportive, honestly. I didn’t know if he was still in Strictly and I’m so proud of him, he’s proud of me, and I can’t wait to see him when I get back. “Pete also opened up about the pair’s connection recently. Sam and Sam Thompson discussed the former Made in Chelsea star’s interview with Maura on Sam and his Staying Relevant podcast, and Sam insisted that their “loyalty to Pete beats everything.”

But Pete quickly replied to his best friend:” It does until the leaving interview, and you say ‘ welcome to the family’, so I guess that one just sort of slipped out did it? When Pete and Maura were caught smoking at a dinner in Soho in August of last year, rumors about their relationship first started to spread.
