Chloe Sims admits she’s still ‘head over heels in love’ with Pete Wicks in secret romance

Speaking about the under-cover romance for the first time in our exclusive chat Chloe revealed how she put her heart on the line for Pete but got nothing back.

The heartbroken reality babe, 37, said: "If I love someone and they are in my life and I feel safe with someone I can be quite needy because I don't find that often. 

"I know I can be a lot if I love someone. If I love them, I love them through and through, from head to toe, there are no ifs or buts or in-between. 

"Maybe I smothered him. I will put my heart out there but Pete's not like that.

"He doesn't like talking about his feelings. It is like getting blood out of a stone."

Chloe and Pete's intense friendship has been the subject of romance rumours for the last few years.

The couple finally confirmed their secret love affair on last night's episode sending social media into a frenzy. 

Fans saw Chloe and Pete try to save their friendship during a couples' counselling session with Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson.

But hopes of a happy ending have been dashed by Chloe, who has previously dated Mario Falcone, Elliot Wright and Dan Edgar on the show. 

She said: "We are just so different we constantly end up fighting or falling out.  

"Pete needs his own time to think about things. I won't think before I speak.

"I wear my heart on my sleeve and say exactly how I'm feeling at that moment.

The Towie favourite continued: "Pete finds it hard to express his emotions. He holds a lot in.

"I am independent and like my own space but deep down I would happily be with that one special person a lot.

"Pete isn't like that either. He needs a lot of his own time. 

"He will do his best but he likes his own space and wants long periods of time completely on his own."

The pair didn't speak for six months after falling out before lockdown.

And Chloe admitted she was still struggling to forgive Pete, 31, for deserting her during a global pandemic. 

She added: "I started to paint a bad version of Pete in my head. I questioned whether I even knew who he was as a person.

"I do think I know who Pete is as a person now but I still have days when I question it.
