‘The Only Way Is Essex’ crew were forced to pull Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks apart during a bitter feud.
The 24-year-old brunette beauty and the tattooed hunk called time on their turbulent relationship last month after one year of dating, and according to The Sun Online the pair were embroiled in a malicious spat on the streets of Essex on Tuesday (04.04.17), which became so explosive the creative team behind the ITVBe production had no choice but to step in.
The former couple were reportedly shouting at one another in public, with Megan getting very close to Pete’s face to further scream at him.
And Pete didn’t hold back from venting his anger either as he is believed to have also raised his voice to his fellow reality TV co-star.
However, the French Bulldog fanatic grabbed Megan’s arm as she turned to walk away from him and their heated discussion, only to see her forlorn face, yet this only triggered another bitter exchange.
Although two members of staff had to separate the 28-year-old lothario and the former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ contestant, the pair continued to spit out foul utterances to one another.
And it is believed claims Pete had cheated on Megan with a woman on a trip to Scotland, and images of him cosied up with Chloe Sims outside of London’s The Mayfair Hotel caused the harsh exchange of words.
Speaking about the row between Megan and Pete – who has previously sent explicit messages to his ex-girlfriend Jacqui Ryland whilst holidaying with his previous partner – a source said: "They immediately started a heated discussion after Megan saw pictures of Pete ‘cosying up to’ Chloe Sims recently.
"Megan called him [Pete] up on the photos and asked what’s going on.
"She said she was amazed Chloe didn’t try to reach out to explain that there’s nothing in it.
"Pete defended Chloe and said nothing had happened and that she hadn’t done anything wrong, but Megan started screaming, ‘Why are you sticking up for her?’
"Megan accused Pete of cheating on her and sleeping with a girl in Scotland and he threw it back in her face, saying ‘I wasn’t cheating but I did text her’."
However, Pete swiftly spun the argument around and blamed Megan for getting intimate with her ex-boyfriend Jordan Davies.
The source explained: "[Pete replied] ‘And it doesn’t matter because you’re sleeping with your ex!’"
