Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks has given a tantalising hint about his relationship with I'm A Celeb's Maura Higgins. In a chat with Celebs Go Dating's Paul Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast, the former TOWIE star offered a rare glimpse into his evolving relationship with Maura.

He revealed that they've known each other for around six years and heaped praise on the ex-Love Islander, describing her as "super intelligent" and "incredibly witty". The Strictly star shared how their relationship has grown over time and what's changed since they first met.

He said: "It's different now, we spend more time together now than before and I think she's an incredible person, she was very supportive to me when I was in Strictly and vice versa when she was in the Jungle."

However, he stopped short of confirming if they are now an item, despite widespread speculation that they are, adding: "Yeah, she's a great person, so my relationship with her is that I think she's a great person and I would hope that she thinks that I'm alright."

Just three months ago, Pete expressed his feelings for Maura during a podcast interview, providing a revealing insight of his own, reports Lancs Live.

Opening up about her connection with the TV star, she revealed: "Our humour is the same. It's like that sick, dark humour. It's very abusive. We abuse each other. Very nasty, hilarious. We just get on very, very well. Very, very well. I adore him, he's amazing."

Rumours of the duo being an item have been rife for months following several clues, including Maura being photographed with Pete's close mate, Sam Thompson, in a T-shirt emblazoned with 'We can't be friends'. They've also appeared together in TikTok videos.

However, their relationship appeared to be confirmed when they were caught on camera sharing a kiss after the Pride of Britain Awards on October 21 last year.
