Pete Wicks reveals Sam Thompson's secret 'crush' on celebrity friend's sister
Pete Wicks has outed his best pal's secret crush, saying Sam Thompson has eyes for a mate's sister. Former TOWIE star Pete, 36, spilled the beans on ex MadeIn Chelsea man Sam, 32, following his public breakup with Zara McDermott.
But Pete insists Sam has moved on and claimed his attention could be focused elsewhere. Speaking on Pete and Olivia Attwood's podcast, Sunday Roast Reheated, Pete explained how he and Pete had bumped into Olivia while out for dinner.
He said his pal went on to declare his love for the former Love Island star's sister. "Sam has an unhealthy fascination slash obsession with one of the Attwood's - and it isn't Liv...," Pete said.
Olivia chimed in to explain the awkward interaction: "He's got a crush on my sister.... but this is how Sam shoots his shot. When Pete went to the toilet Sam came and sat in Pete's seat next to my sister, stared at her, then turned to her and said I love you. They don't know each other - they've met once!'
Pete added: "Liv's sister is happily married but Sam thought - do you know what I've got a new mullet, I've had a glow up, this might work..."
"He's like, I'm going to throw it at the wall and see what sticks," Olivia went on before Pete joked: "And I tell you what stuck... nothing, not a thing."
Sam has been looking for love since his surprise split from Zara. While Zara appears to be moving nicely with One Direction man Louis Tomlinson, it appears as though Sam is single again.
He had been involved with Love Island's Samie Elishi but is said to have cooled things last month. It left him reportedly heading onto celebrity dating apps to find his perfect match.
Despite being snapped locking lips with Samie, 25, the duo are said to have called time on things, with a source telling us: "They both have busy lives, it just didn't work out."
Sam is now said to be looking for love after taking to 'Tinder for the illuminati', Raya. He is said to be looking to connect with a whole host of famous faces, who have been granted access to the exclusive dating site.
Sharing screenshots of Sam, reportedly taken from Raya, in which the reality star can be seen larking around with best pal, Pete in photos which display his name, age and occupation - listed as: 'Presenter/podcaster' - the Mail reported last month that his profile on the site is active.
He had recently spoke to Pete about being single on their Staying Relevant. He explained he felt like he was "ready to get out there", saying: "I feel like I'm at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females."
He added: "I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I'm happy. There's no more brave faces', causing Pete to proudly declare: 'Sam's ready to date!'."

The celebrities picked are typically stars who know each other, or have worked together or against each other in the past. Unfortunately for fans, the celebrity version of the show has now been shelved. A source told The Sun Online: "Celebrity Antiques Road Trip has proved a popular show for the BBC, but the focus right now is the original version of the show. "A final decision hasn't been made on its future just yet, but it's definitely being rested for the remainder of the year and bosses will reassess in 2026." The Sun Online has approached the BBC for comment. Each paired up with an expert, the celebrity duo are given a strict budget to find trinkets that may secretly hold value. The winner was whoever takes home the most at an auction at the end of the episode. Among the celebrities who have taken part are The Traitors' Paul Gorman and Harry Clarke, The Young Ones' Nigel Planer and Alexei Sayle, 90s icons Sinitta and Samantha Fox, and former couple and Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti. Richard Osman appeared with his now-wife Ingrid Oliver, while Gemma Collins went head-to-head with Melvin Odoom.

Shop owner Judy awkwardly informs him that she only watches Coronation Street... and at the time Danny was on rival soap EastEnders as Mick Carter. 4 Celebrity Antiques Road Show aired for 13 series before its axe Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk
