Pete Wicks takes a swipe at former flame Maura Higgins as he jokes about the ‘awful lot that happened at the BRITs’
Pete Wicks took a savage swipe at his former flame Maura Higgins as he joked about the ‘awful lot that happened at the BRITs’ during his latest podcast episode.
The former TOWIE star, 37, and Maura, 34, were first linked in August last year, but MailOnline exclusively revealed that the couple went their separate ways in February.
Then, Maura hit the headlines after she was seen ‘kissing’ married McFly star Danny Jones at Universal Music’s BRIT Awards afterparty last Saturday.
Hinting at the ongoing drama on his Staying Relevant podcast with Sam Thompson, Pete put on a shocked face as he joked: ‘So… a LOT happened at the BRITs, an awful lot happened at the BRITs. I am probably gonna leave that there because…
‘A lot happened at the BRITs but we’re just gonna move on from that and we’ll tell you about our BRIT’s experience.’
Sam laughed as he smugly added: ‘Our BRITs was great. We had a lovely BRITs experience.’

Before Pete chimed in with: ‘Nothing happened there… for us. But we had a great time, Universal afterparty, we stayed there for a little beer, had a few drinks.’
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, went on the joke that they ‘did it right,’ before Pete put his head in his hands and quipped: ‘No, no, no, it’s not that other people did it wrong.’
Sam then clarified: ‘What I mean is at these parties you don’t want to linger for too long. We got there nice and early, we left the BRITs a little bit early, got there before the crush happens.
‘Had a few drinks, had a really good time, spoke to loads of people and then left at about 1am, which is the perfect time to bounce before everything gets a little bit messy.’
It comes after the news that Pete is reportedly glad his brief relationship with Maura didn’t last as he tries to avoid drama.
Sources have claimed that the ‘attention’ surrounding her kiss with Danny is exactly what Pete tries to avoid.
A source told OK! magazine: ‘This sort of attention is exactly what Pete doesn’t want.
‘He’s seen this sort of media circus happen when he was on TOWIE and it’s not the sort of relationship he wants.
‘It’s a shame because it will probably bring his guard back up and he just wants to find someone he can genuinely love.’

MailOnline has contacted Pete’s representative for comment.
In the wake of the kissing scandal, both Maura and Danny have been hit by a wave of criticism, with many furious on behalf of Georgia, Danny’s wife of 10 years and mother of his son.
Amid a period of silence, Danny has now reposted several happy birthday messages from fan accounts on Instagram to mark his 39th birthday.
One fan message read: ‘Happy birthday to someone who can light up a room with just a simple smile. Hope you have a wonderful day Danny. You so deserve it please remember especially today how loved and cared about you are by so many people hope you are well keep smiling that amazing smile.’
His supportive bandmate Tom Fletcher also shared a sweet message, penning: ‘Happy birthday mush. Looking forward to standing on stage with you soon’
It comes just one day after Georgia returned to social media to share a snap of the couple’s seven-year-old son Cooper.
Danny and his wife of ten years Georgia were seen for the first time since the scandal as they stepped out for a coffee together in London on Tuesday.
The couple cut a casual figure as they headed out for a walk in the park, while talking and sipping on hot drinks.
Elsewhere during the day, Georgia shared a black and white image of their son Cooper wearing a pair of dark sunglasses while playing on a handheld device.

Not addressing her husband or his recent antics with former Love Island star Maura, Georgia simply captioned her image with a blue love heart emoji.
A host of Georgia’s showbiz pals were quick to share their support for her in the comments.
Sarah Louise Merrygold, wife of JLS star Aston penned: ‘Little dude. sending you all my love.’
Binky Felstead wrote: ‘We got you girl! Adore you.’
Anna Whitehouse shared: ‘Love you darling. We’ve got you.’ Chessie King added: ‘Absolutely adore you, we’re alllll rallied round you.’
Despite receiving a flood of supportive comments, Georgia decided to turn off the comments on all her posts.
Georgia’s husband Danny has yet to publicly comment on the scandal and has not posted on his Instagram main grid since the night of the BRITs, in which he posed for a selfie with KSI and Tom Fletcher.
