At the time Pete apologised to a "mugged off" Ella for playing down their secret off-screen kiss.
He has admitted there is sexual tension between the pair.
But Pete, who was secretly dating Chloe Sims, 40, for two-years, ruled out another romance to instead focus on "self-love".
He said: "I still want the fairytale. Of course I do. Who doesn't? I would love to meet someone but there's no point putting pressure on yourself to find it or have it.
"I think one of the biggest things I've learnt through lockdown is the importance of self-love.
"It's true you can't really love someone if you don't love yourself and that's what I've been working on."
