“There have definitely been blurred lines over the last two-years. We haven’t been officially seeing each other but there’s definitely been times it’s been more than just a friendship.”
He added: “It’s probably the worst kept secret in TV but yes there is a lot of love between us.
“I do love her and she is one of the most important people to me and hopefully I am to her but we have subsequently made a mess of our friendship.
The pair will be seen having couples’ counselling on the show tonight – with Pete saying they’ll “probably need a lot more”.
Pete ruled out a potential relationship though, and even suggested it could be too late to save their friendship.
He said: “We have made a real mess of everything. I think we are better off just as friends.
