In February, it was revealed that Maura, 34, and Pete, 37, ended their relationship after a series of fiery rows. Advertisement 3 Maura Higgins has sensationally unfollowed Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks on Instagram Credit: instagram 3 The former Towie stars have reciprocated the move Credit: Getty Then, at the start of March, the former Love Island and I'm A Celeb star was seen kissing Danny Jones amid their drunken kiss scandal at a BRIT Awards afterparty. And now, in the fallout of this, Maura has removed herself from Olivia and Pete's Instagram accounts. The former Towie stars have unfollowed Maura too. Olivia previously defended her pal Pete after Maura's cheating jibe. Advertisement The TV star explained her "controversial" joke at the Brit Awards, telling fans: "I'm very protective of my friends." It came after Pete told MailOnline: "It's hard for Sam Thompson tonight because I've got a new work wife. But, he's not far away, he's over there actually." He added: "It is a little bit weird because it feels like I am..." "Cheating?" Olivia laughed, referencing Maura's claims that Pete was "probably out cheating" on Valentine's Day. Advertisement Pointing out she was making a joke of the situation, Olivia said: "Cheating's not funny. Pete didn't cheat. That is the joke. Hope that helps." She added: "Well I appreciate that you could read between the lines - I had to comment because A LOT of people couldn't - because that's not something I would find funny at all. Maura Higgins Scandal: A Kiss That Shook Reality TV "And I'm just going to caveat that with with I'm very protective of my friends, but I don't hate / have feuds / at war with anyone. "You guys have seen my work schedule - I don't have time to eat most days." Advertisement Olivia added: "When I get up in my feelings I probably shouldn't do coded Instagram Stories because then things get misconstrued. I'll just say it with my chest in future if I'm upset." She was referring to a cryptic post she shared recently, claiming she had a secret that would "blow your f***ing mind." Olivia said: "One day I'm going to write a book and some of the stuff I have managed to keep [zipped mouth emoji] on over the years. "It will blow your f***ing mind. Advertisement "You can try to hire all the same people, regurgitate my stories as your own, study the playbook, follow the recipe blah blah blah, but it will NEVER taste the same. That's all." It was revealed earlier this year that reality TV duo Pete and Maura had split after a series of fiery rows. Sources have since claimed that the ITV2 beauty called it quits after discovering her man was chatting with "loads" of girls online. They had spent Christmas together after their six-year friendship turned romantic. Advertisement Now Irish model Maura is under fire for a "drunken kiss" with her married I'm A Celeb co-star Danny Jones at the Brits bash. Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins' relationship timeline Maura and Pete are believed to have met for the first time in 2019, following her stint on Love Island. She late said they "just clicked". In August 2024, the pair were spotted enjoying a lunch date together in London's Soho. The following month, Maura showed her support to Pete following the release of his book Never Enough: My Words Unfiltered. She wrote online: "Proud of you." In October, Pete appeared on Olivia Attwood's podcast and was grilled about his romance with Maura. Olivia said: "Your dating life. Maura Higgins." Pete replied: "Me and Maura have known each other for a long time." Olivia told him she'd seen a photo of them kissing. Maura spoke briefly about Pete on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast in the same month. She said: "We just get on very, very well. I adore him, he's an amazing person." Later in October, Maura and Pete were spotted kissing and cuddling several times; once at the Pride Of Britain afterparty and again during a dinner date. Maura jetted off to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity in November. But she continued to pretend nothing was going on. Maura told GK Barry: 'No, I'm single. People can date and not be in a relationship and take things slow. What's the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don't know where it's gonna go, you know?' In December, Maura and Pete flew to Ireland and spent Christmas together. The pair broke cover and gave fans a glimpse inside their cosy lake house. Just weeks later, Pete told The Times that he was "s*** scared" of settling down. He also appeared in Loose Women in February and spoke about his fears of commitment. On February 14, Valentine's Day, it was reported that Pete and Maura had split up.
