Celebs Go Dating hunk Pete Wicks has denied there is a spark between him and Love Island ‘s Shaughna Phillips.
The TOWIE star, 31, was said to be growing close to the honest reality star babe, 25, but he insisted there is nothing there.
Pete denied there was a spark between him and Shaughna as he set records straight.
He said: “Do you know what it is, I can’t even say hello to a woman without someone thinking that there’s something going on.
“Shaughna’s a really nice girl but there’s definitely no truth in that. She’s a nice girl that’s come out of Love Island, she’s single, I’m single, we’re doing the same sort of thing, working together and people have just jumped the gun but there’s definitely no truth in that whatsoever.”

The reality star, who has previously dated Celebrity X Factor star Megan McKenna, joked about his bromance on the show with rugby star Levi Davis.
He continued telling Mirror Online : “If you’d asked me about Levi, there’s a little bit of truth in that. F**k Sam Thompson, who needs him when you’ve got Levi Davis.”
Pete is one of the stars joining the first ever virtual series of Celebs Go Dating.

He will participate alongside Shaughna, Geordie Shore babe Chloe Ferry and many others.
The popular E4 series will be different this time round, with social distancing being in full swing.
Stars will take part in video calls and keep their distance during dates with their matches.

The TOWIE hunk said it’s an “opportunity” to learn new dating skills.
Pete added: “It’s so different this time, it’s been good. It’s an opportunity to learn new dating skills you never knew you had, I didn’t really have many to begin with so for me it’s been good.”
He joked he “could always do” with Anna and Paul to guide him through life, to tell him what he’s doing right and wrong.

He added: “I’m nearly 32 and I’ve been single a lot of my life so I’m always doing the same old things when it comes to dating, whatever it may be, but it’s quite easy on an online date to forget it’s a date and to not take it seriously.”
Pete has previously been on the show, but was unlucky in love.
It’s his second time seeking help from Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson, as well receptionist Tom Read Wilson.
