Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks has hit back at rumours that he has been intimate with women during his time in Australia supporting pal Sam Thompson for ITV's I'm A Celebrity.
The star has been linked to numerous females whilst down under, with the most notable being EastEnders actress Danielle Harold. The pair were seen getting close, with onlookers describing the two stars as "incredibly cosy" with lots of cuddling as they "acted like a couple". The pair were also seen playing around with the onlooker adding that Danielle "jumped" on Pete's back at one point and they posed for pictures together.
Further rumours have also linked Pete to Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard's girlfriend Sarah Corrin after he was spotted on a boozy night out with the pair as well as other gatherings of the cast after they exited the jungle.

I just want to point out that I didn't sh** anyone's wife."
Sam Thompson added: "Pete got linked to every single person out there. He got linked to Sarah - Nick's [Pickard] girlfriend, he got linked to Danielle [Harold], he got linked to my girlfriend Zara [McDermott], he got linked to Rochelle [Humes] at one point. I don't think there were anymore women out there to get linked to."

Sam continued: "Do you know what my favourite thing about this is...I've gone into the jungle and Pete's flown out there to be there for me and it's literally he can't get away from it. He's come to Australia and it's 'Pete Wicks linked with whoever the f*** he's linked with', he'll never outrun it."

The conversation comes after Pete confessed to an "awkward" moment as he hugged best pal Sam and girlfriend Zara as they were reunited in the airport. Pete shared a snap of the loved up couple back together again as he stood next to them holding balloons.
He then posted a picture of the old man from the Disney film Up, also holding some balloons, and captioned it: "They were reunited...I was awkward [balloon emoji]" Fans quickly commented on the post, with one saying: "Brilliant! Bet you felt like a Balloon" and another joking: "3rd wheeling."
Sam was crowned King of the Jungle on Sunday, December 10 after beating fellow finalists Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage by getting the most public votes.
