This comes two years after Pete was caught sexting his ex Jacqui Ryland while on holiday with his former girlfriend Megan McKenna. Some of the messages were too explicit to be printed and Pete also implied that Megan was 'boring' and that he 'missed being single.'

Shelby has now hinted it would be 'interesting' to meet with Megan and discuss their similar stories.
