Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins avoided one another at a BRIT Awards after party last night before the Celebs Go Dating star left early on, according to a source.
The exes, who dated last year following Maura's stint on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here and Pete's time on Strictly Come Dancing, awkwardly dodged one another on the BRIT Awards red carpet yesterday after splitting earlier in the year.
The couple reportedly called it quits on Valentine's Day, as Maura wasn't thrilled with Pete and Olivia Attwood's friendship - as the pair prepared to host their first radio show together. A source later added: "As far as Maura’s concerned she doesn’t have any issues with Olivia and will always make an effort to say hello if they ever are at the same parties or red carpet events.
"Any time there’s been a suggestion of a feud or competitiveness it has always baffled Maura. They are on their own journeys and not involved in each other's careers, but she of course hopes the respect she feels for Olivia is mutual."
Both Maura and Pete attended Universal's BRIT Awards after party, however a source has revealed that the pair were "very separate" throughout the evening. They told The Mirror in an exclusive chat: "Pete and Maura were both at the afterparty but were very separate.
"Pete was there fleetingly at the beginning, but Maura was there until the end at 2am-ish. She was partying with I'm A Celebrity pals Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse. She was having a good time with TikTok star Luke Hamnett."
While Pete left the party early, he reportedly stuck with co-host Olivia all night. A source told us: "He stayed with Olivia Attwood the whole night and left pretty early."
The Mirror has reached out to representatives for Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins for comment.
Pete left the after party with podcast co-host Sam Thompson and friend Olivia Attwood as the trio bundled into a taxi to head home. Meanwhile, Maura snuck out of the after party with I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! pal around 2am.
Maura and Pete reportedly split on Valentine's Day after a "few clashes", with a source saying: "Maura and Pete have decided to call off their romance. There have been a few clashes, and it was eventually agreed they were better off as friends. Those closest to them know it's been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection."
