Pete Wicks discusses romance with Maura Higgins: ‘I think she’s an incredible person’

Pete Wicks has finally discussed his ongoing romance with Maura Higgins.

The reality stars first sparked romance rumours in August, and have been spotted on a number of romantic outings since.

The pair even spent Christmas together in Ireland on a romantic festive getaway to the luxurious Glasson Lakehouse.

However, both Maura and Pete have yet to confirm that they are in a relationship – despite this the Towie star has finally opened up about the romance.

Speaking on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, the 37-year-old confessed he and the Love Island star “spend more time with each other than we did before.”

He continued: “Maura and I have known each other for a long time now, about six years.”

“We have the same sense of humour, she’s super intelligent and I think that is sometimes what people don’t realise about Maura.”

“She’s incredibly witty and we have always been there for each other in the past six years at a distance where we have always kind of been friends and been there for each other and whatever else. And that I mean is different now.”

“We spend more time with each other than we did before. I think she’s an incredible person, she was incredibly supportive to me when I was in Strictly and as I did to her when she was in the jungle.”

“She’s a great person so my relationship with her is that I think she’s a great person and I hope that she would think that I’m alright.”

The host Paul then asked: “Are you great together?”

Pete joked: “Oh I see where we are going with this Paul, it is very very nicely done. The thing is with me and Maura is like I said we have known each other for a long time and we have never kind of not got on.”

The reality star confessed: “We do spend more time together now than we have done before and as a person and you’ll know having met her.’

“When people are around me and Maura it is quite fun. There is so many similarities, she is a great person to spend time with and yeah we do spend time together.”

He continued: “I’m at a different stage in my life now where the points that always made me known which was always my relationship or the drama and the reality background is not something that I am really doing anymore.”

“The reason I say that and I’m very thankful to all of the things I’ve done before that now is the private me and more vulnerable me is that I’m putting out one version of me which is why I need to protect that.”

“I no longer feel the need to have to give everyone that.”

However despite Maura and Pete’s relationship seemingly going from strength to strength, the Love Island star has insisted she “doesn’t need” a man.

Speaking to The Times, Maura was asked about her love life and if she has terrible taste in men – to which she simply replied: “Yes.”

She was then asked if she wanted to be in love.

The 34-year-old confessed: ““That would be lovely.”

The interviewer continued to question if she was in-love now, hinting at her romance with Pete.

Maura simply said: “I’m happy right now.”

When asked if she meant happy with Pete, Maura added: “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.”

The reality star finally addressed their romance during her recent stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
