Megan McKenna and Towie ex Pete Wicks spotted chatting together outside awards do
MEGAN McKenna and Pete Wicks were seen spending time together at an award show last night.
The pair – whose tumultuous relationship played out on Towie in 2016 – chatted away happily, five years after their very acrimonious split.
Despite excitement from their fans, the pair are simply friends who were enjoying a catch up.
Ladies’ man Pete, 33, could be seen whispering in Megan’s ear while leaning on her shoulder.
Clearly very comfortable, the former lovers leant into each other before Pete placed his hand on Megan’s back as they walked away.
Megan, 30, was spotted grinning broadly – seemingly enjoying Pete’s attentions.

A rep for Megan said: “Megan and Pete are friends. Megan did not leave the Pride of Britain awards with Pete, she left in a cab with Kelsey Parker & Sophie Habboo."
Megan is currently single following her split from Josh Riley after two years of dating.
Pete has recently wrapped filming the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, for a fourth time.
Prior to that he was romantically involved with Towie co-star Ella Wise, but the 11 year age gap proved too much.
Singer Megan and Pete initially started dating around April 2016 and things progressed when she joined Towie.
They even talked of “love” until The Sun exclusively revealed how they were rocked by a sex text scandal in September 2016.
