Pete Wicks’ ex-girlfriend has revealed the real reason he has been linked to Maura Higgins and her Strictly dancing partner Jowita Przystal.
His friendship with former Love Island star Maura has blossomed into a romantic connection and the pair are regularly seen kissing at red carpet events.
The podcaster reportedly struck up a close, strictly professional relationship with Jowita during their time competing together on the BBC One series.
Former TOWIE star Chloe Sims told MailOnline she believes he possesses a “magical power”, which has made him a master of seduction with the ability to woo even “straight men” (pictured 2019).
She told MailOnline: ‘Pete is a bloody charmer, even men go gaga over him, straight men.
“I used to look at him and think, what is it about this guy? He’s so strange, men love him, women love him, older women, younger women, he just has something, that charm about him.
‘I can understand why all these women would be related to him, they probably are, there is no smoke without fire. I can see why people end up in these relationships on Strictly, they spend all that time up close and personal, and I can see how these romances happen.
“He’s a natural flirt, people instantly fall in love with him and I’ve witnessed that.” We would go to all kinds of events, and I would look and think, wow, people literally fall in love with him instantly.
‘To look at him from afar and if you didn’t know him, he’s not my type in a million years, not even up close, but whatever he has, some magical power, I don’t know.
“But he must have that to be on Strictly because publicly they said they would never have TOWIE there, that’s how strong his charm is.”
Pete, whose ex-girlfriends include former TOWIE stars Megan McKenna and Shelby Tribble, was seen kissing Maura at last month’s National Television Awards and they also got cozy at this week’s Pride of Britain ceremony.
Meanwhile, his intimate performances with Jowita, which included the pair almost kissing on the dance floor, raised suspicions about a possible romance.

‘My daughter and my grandmother have been watching it and they both said it’s really good.
