exes

PETE Wicks has seemingly taken a thinly veiled swipe at his exes Maura Higgins and Megan McKenna.

The swipe came as the star chatted to the Daily Mail about how he and Olivia got together, as he seemed to shade his past relationships.

Speaking about how in love he feels, Pete shared that it feels like the first time he’s truly fallen.

He said: “Yeah, I think so. I’ve loved people, of course, but it’s a different feeling to what I’ve had before.

“She’s [Olivia’s] become my best friend. She’s that before anything else.

“I have fallen in love for the first time and I don’t really have anything to compare it to.”

Pete also revealed that he opened up about his feelings for Olivia before Olivia opened up to him.

Chatting about whether he was nervous, Pete noted: “I’m quite a confident guy in a lot of areas, but not as confident when it comes to feelings.

“It was not a case of just fancying someone. Obviously I do – she’s beautiful, I think she’s incredible – but there was more.

“I didn’t really know what that was, or where it came from. It just happened.”

Pete and Olivia started dating in February of this year, and made their relationship Instagram official during a trip to Ibiza in July.

The romance follows Olivia’s divorce from former flame Bradley Dack.

Their marriage crumbled due to what was described at the time as a “breach of trust” on Bradley’s side.

Olivia had been friends with Pete for years prior to her beginning to date him.

Months of romance rumours swirled before the pair confirmed their romance, and they appear to be super loved up!

Pete and Maura dated for around six months between 2024 and 2025.

They split on Valentines Day of 2025 following a fiery row.

Meanwhile Pete and Megan were together for approximately a year and a half, with their relationship beginning in 2016.

The ups and downs of their romance were documented on The Only Way Is Essex.

WHILE most shy away from pain, Ellie Goulding leans into hers for new album I Know Too Much.

And it makes the ten-track record, out today, one of her greatest pieces of work.

Her searingly honest lyrics shine a light on the last two years of her life, while the mix of pacy beats and stripped-back acoustic ballads elevate her ethereal voice.

Part heartbreak, part rebirth, I Know Too Much takes listeners on a journey through deceit and betrayal before ending in a place of euphoria with final song Ravers.

The end of her marriage to art dealer Caspar Gopling has most definitely inspired some of the tracks.

But you can also see how fans might link some lyrics to her apparent unhappiness with her old management team, with whom she is now locked in a nasty legal battle after they parted ways earlier this year.

MINE’S A LARGE

From Olivia Attwood to Ellie Goulding, I tested celebrity drink ranges

Two ultimate diss tracks, Always Thinking Of You and Misremember You, are sure-fire hits for the broken-hearted.

Lyrically, the latter is raw, with Ellie singing: “All my friends would die if they knew I still see you in a good light from time to time. But I won’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

“I’ll leave out all the details that don’t add up to your glory.”

On Always Think Of You, Ellie chides: “Run your mouth, when I post a pretty picture you would make me take it down.

“The s**t you did then I would never put up with now.”

She continues: “Losing your s**t over something small, throwing a fit like you’re two feet tall, blame it on me, or the alcohol, what do you know now, Mr know it all?”

For Your Entertainment and Loser are my stand-out favourites, with the lyrics on Loser enough to make any of her former flames cringe.

“See you got a new job, new life, got a new girl that’s fine, you’re not fooling anybody,” Ellie sings.

“You can change all your clothes, baby you’re still a loser.

“Change your cologne, you still smell like a loser.”

I’ll be singing that on repeat any time someone gets on my wick.
