PETE Wicks has revealed that he’s “in love” with a mystery woman – six months after his bitter split from Maura Higgins.
The ex Towie star, 36, made the confession on his latest podcast episode, where he teased details of a secret romance.
Pete took part in a lie detector test with best pal Sam Thompson.
Sam fired questions at Pete while he was hooked up to the machine.
Sam cheekily asked: “Are you in love with somebody right now?”
Pete answered ‘no’, but he was proven to be lying after polygrapher examiner Mark insisted he wasn’t telling the truth.
Looking at the graph, Mark gave the camera a thumbs down as a sign that Pete hadn’t been honest.
Sam screamed: “Ahhh I knew it! And that’s all we’re going to say,” to which Pete replied: “How could you do that to me?”
The former Made In Chelsea star said: “I don’t know, it just came to my head, it’s a f****** lie.
“Pete’s in love with somebody. Find her! Find her!
“Pete’s in love secretly and I think I know who it is.”
Pete insisted: “You know exactly who it is, I literally told you the f****** story, she’s not replied.”
The Essex star fumed: “Why would you put that one in there? That was not on the f****** list!”
The pair did not reveal the mystery lady’s name but the topic clearly got Pete feeling hot under the collar.
Feeling uncomfortable, he added: “Are we f****** done with me now?”
EXES FALLOUT
Pete was recently linked to Love Island’s Samantha Kenny after they were spotted hugging outside Mayfair’s Amazonico club at the end of March.
But the pair insisted they were just friends and Samantha revealed she is dating someone new.
Pete’s break-up with Irish star Maura in February made waves after she accused him of cheating.
While it was reported that Pete has “moved on and couldn’t care less” about ex Maura.
The pair were in a blossoming relationship and she even spoke about him in the I’m A Celebrity jungle before they dramatically split up two months later.
Maura then branded Pete a cheater, after it was revealed in February that they had called time on their romance.
Since then, Maura made headlines after The Sun spotted her kissing married McFly star Danny Jones at the BRITs.
Danny later released a statement on social media apologising to his family – while Pete took a swipe at her.
