If you're new to the rumours that Love Island legend turned I'm a Celeb LEGEND Maura Higgins and former TOWIE star turned Strictly fave Pete Wicks are turning into the showbiz couple of everyone's dreams, just where the heck have you been?
No matter, the important thing is, you've tuned in at a key moment in their 'relationship' timeline because Maura has seemingly shared snaps from inside the couple's cozy cabin getaway together on her socials, and while neither one of them are pictured in the snaps – you don't need to be Coleen Rooney to work out what's going on here.
It's giving soft launch.
Maura is currently enjoying some downtime at Glasson Lakehouse in Ireland and from the look of the snaps she is nestled away in an outdoor cabin and we can't help but wonder whether this is the planned Maura x Pete 'holiday' that our source was talking about a few weeks back.
While Maura didn't actually share any snaps of her and Pete together on her Instagram story, she did share a snap of a glass of red wine and a pint of Guinness in a cozy pub and another snap of herself in bed watching The Grinch, both of which have left fans speculating as to whether Pete has joined her on this secluded getaway.
Maura and Pete have been setting tongues wagging over their rumoured romance in recent months. After their undeniably cosy display outside an East London pub at the end of October, Pete was then photographed leaving Maura’s Essex home on his 36th birthday just a week later.
In recent weeks, heat learned the pair were planning a romantic getaway once Pete had finished with Strictly and Maura had completed her stint in the I'm A Celeb jungle.
Just before Maura appeared on I'm A Celeb, a source close to both reality TV stars said, ‘Pete and Maura have both been super-busy lately. He’s been working flat out on Strictly, and she’s been preparing for the jungle. They’ve tried to make as much time for one another as they can, but it’s not been easy. That’s why they’ve decided that when things calm down, they will go away on holiday, so they can spend some quality time together. It will either be over Christmas, which would be really special, or in early January to kick off 2025.’
Again, we're no Coleen Rooney, but...
