The love life of Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks is pretty difficult to keep track of but it seems someone thinks they have a pretty good idea of what’s really happening behind closed doors.
The couple were recently pictured sunning themselves in Las Vegas as they enjoyed a make or break holiday in the American desert sun together after Pete admitted he had been sending secret text messages to his ex-girlfriend.
But one of their friends claims they are only putting on a united front for the reality show cameras.
Their The Only Way Is Essex co-star Jamie Reed insists to The Sun newspaper that they are forcing their romance for publicity.
He said: “They’re back together. They are one of the couples that are always on and off and that’s the way a lot of couples are.
“They’re giving it go because of the show. The Only Way Is Essex puts such a strain on relationships some people go backwards and not forwards.”
But Megan and Pete aren’t the only stars of the show who have found themselves at the centre of relationship drama.
Jamie is dating Jade Lewis and his ex-girlfriend Amber Turner hasn’t exactly made their relationship as easy as possible for them after she recently turned up on their doorstep trying to get back in touch with him.
And to make things worse Jade and Amber are currently on the same cruise around the Greek island of Mykonos and are apparently not getting along too well, with the argument set to be aired on the next season of the ITVBe show.
Playing down the situation, Jamie said: “There are a few things going on - there’s no drama, drama, it’s just a bit awkward. Where Jade is new to the cast she didn’t want to make a bit introduction but I think Amber has ruffled a few feathers now, so it’s heading that way.”
