    Pete Wicks’ dating life exposed as he’s ‘in love’ and secretly dating mystery woman

    Pete Wicks has been a lothario both on and off screen, with his love life taking centre stage during his stint on The Only Way Is Essex and his multiple appearances on Celebs Go Dating05:33, 11 Aug 2025Pete Wicks has been forced to admit he is in a secret relationship(Image: Staying Relevant Podcast/Youtube)Pete Wicks has been caught up in a fiery romance – and was compelled to confess he’s already smitten.The 36-year-old reality star is notorious for his flirtatious antics and his romantic escapades took centre stage during his stint on ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex, between 2015 until 2022. Even beyond Towie, his love life has garnered attention both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.Pete has appeared on E4’s tumultuous reality dating show Celebs Go Dating three times – gracing the programme in 2019, 2020 and 2022. This follows reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025.Sam seemeed quite pleased with the lie exposed(Image: Staying Relevant Podcast/Youtube)He made waves last year when he started dating Love Island stunner Maura Higgins – their relationship unfolding while he was competing on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and she was heading Down Under to appear on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!However, their romance abruptly ended earlier this year, with Maura causing a media storm in March when she was spotted sharing a passionate kiss with married McFly star Danny Jones. In the ensuing months, Pete has managed to keep his love life out of the spotlight – but that’s all changed now, reports the Mirror.The celebrity hosts a podcast called Staying Relevant alongside Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson. During a recent episode, the infamous charmer was compelled to confess he is secretly courting a new woman.The revelation emerged when Pete underwent a lie detector test with his co-host. Whilst answering questions, Sam turned playful and enquired: “Are you in love with somebody right now?”Maura and Pete were together towards the end of 2024(Image: Tik Tok)When Pete responded “No,” he was caught out as the polygraph indicated he wasn’t being truthful.The result thrilled Sam, who burst out: “Ahhh I knew it! And that’s all we’re going to say.”A shocked Pete then responded: “How could you do that to me?”However, Sam then quipped: “I don’t know, it just came to my head, it’s a f****** lie.”He then announced: “Pete’s in love with somebody. Find her! Find her! Pete’s in love secretly and I think I know who it is.”Nevertheless, it appears Sam cornered Pete – as the Towie icon moaned: “You know exactly who it is, I literally told you the f****** story, she’s not replied.”He then raged: “Why would you put that one in there? That was not on the f****** list!” Eager to move the questioning along, Pete added: “Are we f****** done with me now?”Whilst the lads didn’t reveal any names, Pete has been most recently connected to Love Island star Samantha Kenny – after they were photographed in an embrace outside a Mayfair nightclub at the end of March. This came after his relationship with Maura reached a dramatic conclusion in February following claims he had strayed.However, the subsequent month saw Maura igniting allegations of being a home-wrecker when she was spotted sharing a kiss with pop singer Danny – who has been married to model Georgia Horsley since 2014.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.

    Katie Price ‘snubs’ daughter Princess Andre’s reality show amid ‘feud’ rumours

    Katie Price’s daughter Princess Andre’s new reality show has launched on ITV2, but the former glamour model has seemingly ‘snubbed’ the programme amid feud rumoursJordan Lloyd Beck and William Morgan Reporter04:30, 11 Aug 2025Katie Price has expressed caution over her daughter’s new tell-all ITV2 show(Image: Instagram/ @katieprice)Katie Price has seemingly snubbed her daughter Princess Andre’s reality show debut. The 47 year old former Page 3 model, who shares Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with ex-husband Peter Andre, did not publicly acknowledge the premiere of her daughter’s new show.In the lead up to the ITV2 show’s launch, which aired its first episode on Sunday night, Katie reportedly missed a planned morning meet-up with Princess on her 18th birthday to party abroad instead. She has also been accused of ‘inserting herself’ into Princess’s success as her daughter begins her own career in showbiz.Claims have also been made that she attempted to ‘overshadow the launch’ of the show, sparking rumours of tension between the mother-daughter pair.As the show premiered over the weekend, Katie remained silent on social media, making no mention of the programme’s airing.Princess Andre’s new show has been snubbed by mum Katie Price(Image: ITV)In the hours leading up to the show, Katie’s last posts featured her showcasing a new jacket from her collection with JYY London and urging fans to purchase it by providing a link.Meanwhile, Princess’ father Peter, who rose to fame in the 1990s with his hit single ‘Mysterious Girl’ and was married to Katie for four years after their stint on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’, featured prominently in the first episode.Despite her seeming silence, Katie did make an unexpected appearance in the episode via a voice note she had sent to Princess, reports the Mirror.When asked about her childhood behaviour, Katie responded: “Who was the naughtiest child? Well, you was a mummy’s girl so you used to push me more and probably get away with things so I’d say you was more naughty actually. You are still very much like me but different if that makes sense, you are more sensible.”So yeah, the answer to your question is that I think you were naughty. You naughty girl!”Katie Price refused to appear on Princess’s ITV2 show(Image: Nordin Catic, Getty Images for The Cambridge Union)Just days prior, Katie confirmed on her self-titled podcast that she would not be tuning into the show, stating: “I won’t be watching the show. And I won’t be promoting the show because I don’t need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing happy families but disregarding me as the other parent.”I support Princess in everything she does, but I think it’s really wrong for her at her age to be put in this situation because she’s going to have to do press and they will ask… they are going to be asked what’s all this about your mum and why isn’t your mum and why isn’t your mum in it.”The mother-of-five previously revealed that she was barred from attending her daughter’s 18th birthday party, blaming her former management team – who also manage her ex-husband Peter Andre and Princess – for considering her “trash” and not wanting her on the show.On her podcast, Katie alleged: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’.” She continued: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”Katie used her public platforms to remind fans that a new piece from her fashion collection was available, rather than promote the show(Image: Getty Images)However, insiders suggest her account of events is far from accurate.They claim that the 18 year old had planned to meet her mum on the morning of her birthday in June in London – but Katie failed to show up. An insider stated: “It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn’t make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing. For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon’s filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.Article continues belowInsiders are perplexed by Katie’s attempts to “repeatedly insert herself into her daughter’s career”. The model herself claimed: “I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoots, signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. I’m not welcome.But the source said: “Why is she making this all about her? What sort of person on the eve of her daughter’s show, starts throwing all these grenades and believes she knows what’s best, and should be given equal billing? Pete keeps quiet about the whole situation with Katie and just wants to support his children.”Some question whether Katie could be jealous of her daughter’s success. The source said: “Princess’s career is flourishing.” More

    BBC ends loophole allowing suspended stars to stay on full pay after Huw Edwards scandal

    Bosses have revised the rules that allows suspended staff to continue earning their full salary indefinitely. It comes after Huw Edwards received his full salary for five months after his arrest20:04, 10 Aug 2025The BBC said it closed the ‘Huw Edwards loophole’ on pay(Image: PA)A BBC loophole allowing suspended stars to stay on full pay has been closed following the Huw Edwards scandal.Bosses at the corporation have revised the rules that allowed the disgraced ex-newsreader, and other unwell suspended staff, to continue earning their full salary indefinitely.This applied even if the employee dragged out the process by refusing to cooperate with an internal misconduct investigation.The move comes after Edwards, who admitted making indecent images of children last year, received his full salary for five months after his arrest.Suspended staff will now receive 18 weeks’ full pay and nine weeks at half their salary, under the BBC’s new policy.Huw continued earning his full salary (Image: BBC News & Current Affairs via Getty Images)The Beeb said that its suspension pay policy has now been brought in line with its sick pay policy.Edwards, the former lead anchor of BBC News at Ten, earned more than £475,000 a year. His lawyers are understood to have told the BBC that he was too unwell to engage with the disciplinary process.They wrote to the BBC: “Huw is a BBC employee who has not been charged with anything. In the circumstances, and whilst the case remains under investigation, it is inappropriate both for Huw to be asked about, and for him to have to comment on, what has been set out in your email.”This allowed Edwards to continue receiving his salary after his arrest in November 2023. The BBC paid Edwards, 63, until he resigned in April last year, three months before he pleaded guilty to viewing 41 illegal images. He received a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.BBC chiefs in April vowed to “draw a line in the sand” after an independent review of staff behaviour.The probe, launched in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal, found the corporation does not have a “toxic culture”.But it said there was a “minority of people who behave unacceptably and whose behaviour is not addressed”.Meanwhile, earlier this year it emerged that Edwards has been edited out of an episode of Doctor Who. The BBC took it off the iPlayer last year after he admitted having indecent images of children.In the original version, Edwards’ voice can be heard in a televised BBC news report. The instalment, titled Fear Her, now has a disclaimer saying: “This programme has been edited since broadcast.”Article continues belowEdwards’ voice was replaced with that of a female actor.For the latest breaking news stories and incredible tales from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.
