Strictly’s Pete Wicks is looking for love on celebrity dating app – despite growing close to Love Island star
STRICTLY star Pete Wicks is looking for love on a celebrity dating app- just weeks after snogging Maura Higgins.
The TV favourite, 33, has signed up for exclusive dating app Raya, a favourite of stars searching for romance.
The Sun revealed last month that Pete and Love Island‘s Maura struck up a romance when they were spotted smooching at Broadwick Soho Hotel.
But now it appears the ex Towie star is still on the hunt for love.
Pete was spotted on the app this week with his occupation listed as ‘all sorts’.
He has a string of dapper looking snaps including a picture of him in a black suit and tie at a glitzy event.
The podcast host set his current home to Essex and linked his official Instagram account to the profile.
A few weeks ago Pete was spotted looking cosy with Irish beauty Maura, 33.
An onlooker told The Sun that Pete joined Maura at the posh five star hotel on Saturday evening where she had been having lunch with friends.
They said: “Maura had been sitting on the terrace with friends for an hour before Pete arrived.
“After they’d sat there for a while Maura went in for a long kiss with Pete. It wasn’t the kind of kiss you’d give a friend, it was very passionate.
“Maura and Pete seemed to be really into each other and kept looking into each other’s eyes before kissing again a number of times.
“When it got dark they moved into the hotel’s Flute bar and Pete sat with his arm around Maura all evening.
“They were all over each other. They looked totally in love and weren’t trying to hide it from anyone.”
It comes after Maura split from her Hollywood star boyfriend Bobby Holland Hanton in March after a whirlwind romance.
The Sun revealed a sweet clip of when Pete first wooed Maura, nearly ONE year ago on glamorous night out at the Pride of Britain awards.
They were last spotted together in public at the TV Bafta awards in May.
But last week Love Island star Faye Winter, who clashed with Maura last year at the NTAs, was seen getting close to Pete at Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan‘s wedding.
Faye and Pete were seen cuddling up with Pete giving her a bear hug from behind.
In another, he is seen getting down on one knee in a mock proposal.
Sources at the time told OK!: “Faye and Pete looked very cosy as they chatted at the after party.
“Pete in particular had his hands all over Faye, which is no surprise as she had all eyes on her and looked incredible on the night.”
