Amber Davies and Pete Wicks have been going on secret dates for the past month.
The ‘Love Island’ winner – who split up with her boyfriend Kem Cetinay just before the festive season – has reportedly been hooking up with the ‘Only Way is Essex’ star for a few weeks now and, although they’ve been trying to keep their meet ups under wraps, friends have claimed they’ve been going for dinner and the cinema together.
A source told The Sun Online: "Pete and Amber have been talking, and meeting up since December – they’ve been to the cinema, and they meet up in Essex. They’ve been for dinner at Sheesh – and they even have mutual friends.
"Sometimes if they’re both out with friends, they’ll message each other and arrange to meet, and obviously they spent a lot of time together at the NTAs [National Television Awards] this week. There’s a lot of chemistry between them."
However, the 29-year-old hunk is skeptical about getting into another relationship after he was left heartbroken last year when he split from Megan McKenna.
The insider explained: "He doesn’t want to rush into anything – Amber’s a nice girl, and they have been meeting up, but they’re not exclusive and I definitely wouldn’t call them boyfriend and girlfriend. I think if anything, she’s more keen on him."
But Amber, 21, is hoping that her dates with Pete will get her on ‘TOWIE’.
A source said: "Everyone is saying Amber wants to get onto ‘TOWIE’. ‘Love Island’ stars are everywhere – Olivia and Chris have their own show, Kem is on ‘Dancing On Ice’, Sam Gowland is on ‘Geordie Shore’ and Mike’s on ‘Celebs Go Dating’.
"But ‘TOWIE’ is the ultimate reality show, and the cast make good money and have huge profiles. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Amber wants to join the cast, and if she’s seeing Pete, that would make sense she would be on the show."
