Maura and Pete spark romance rumours
The pair’s close bond has been a topic of speculation for months, particularly after they were seen kissing before Maura left for I’m A Celebrity.
In the jungle, Maura hinted at a budding romance.
When asked if she was single, the star responded: “I am, but I was seeing someone before I came in.”
Maura also revealed that Pete had pursued her for years. “He would always say, ‘Oh no, like, we are gonna go on a date.’ And I’d be like, ‘We’re actually not. You’re delusional,’” she recalled.
I am, but I was seeing someone before I came in.
However, the pair’s relationship appeared to take a serious turn recently, with Pete reportedly telling friends he is “smitten” with Maura.
Pete made no secret of his admiration while Maura was in the jungle. He regularly reposted updates from her social media team, urging fans to vote for her.
“Before Maura entered the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive,” a source told The Mail on Sunday. “But Maura, aware of Pete’s reputation and his close bond with Jowita [Przystal], decided to slow things down.
“She gave him an ultimatum: either commit to her or let it go. So she went off a single woman. Since then, Pete has gone all-in, openly expressing his feelings to anyone who’ll listen.”
ED! has contacted reps for Pete and Maura for comment.
