Chloe Sims and Pete Wicks have decided to take a break from one another after their secret two-year relationship came to light.
TOWIE star Pete, 31, let it slip that he had been enjoying a secret steamy romance with his gorgeous co-star Chloe, 38, before they fell out earlier this year.
The ITVBe have always publicly painted the picture that they’re nothing more than friends, but now their steamy sessions have been exposed – and it’s taken a toll on their relationship as a whole.
On Wednesday’s explosive episode of the iconic ITVbe show, blonde bombshell Chloe reveals that she’s been trying her hardest to keep her distance from on-off lover Pete after he outed their secret romance earlier this month.
After meeting with Celebs Go Dating love expert Anna Williamson, the former flames decide to take some time apart from one another in a bid to mend their friendship.
Lifting the lid on where they’re at now, Pete told Mail Online that he’s “not in the right headspace” to be in a relationship and fully commit to long-term friend Chloe.
The reality star explained: “It’s been a tough year for Chloe and me. For our friendship and everything else and everyone is really confused by Chloe and me but things will be explained that will make better sense to everyone.
“It’s been a confusing couple of years for our friendship. To be honest with you, I’m not in the right headspace for a relationship either.”
The long-haired hunk recently confessed his love for Chloe after the pair’s decade-long friendship turned into something more.
He told The Sun : “It’s probably the worst kept secret in TV but yes there is a lot of love between us.
“I do love her and she is one of the most important people to me and hopefully I am to her but we have subsequently made a mess of our friendship.”
The secret romance has seemingly made things difficult for the close friends, who didn’t speak to each other for six months after a huge fight in January.
Thankfully, the pair are on the way to mending their relationship, having both insisted that they intend on saving their friendship regardless of the outcome of the romantic element.
