Pete Wicks has ‘banned’ himself from dating shows

OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Wicks has ‘banned’ himself “from the dating show scene”.
The former ‘TOWIE’ star has appeared on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ three times, mostly recently in 2022, but has never found true love on TV.
Pete, 34, insists he’s done with trying to find a meaningful relationship in front of the cameras.
In an interview with New! magazine, he said: “I think I’ve actually banned myself from the dating show scene – I think everyone has had enough of seeing me dating people.
“I’m getting to an age now where it’s time to hand over the reins to younger and better-looking people. I’m past it.”
Even off-screen romance for Wicks is just not a priority at present.
He said: “It’s a standard thing to say, but I am just concentrating on myself and taking time for me. I’m so busy with work, so I’m just taking time for that.”
Although Pete is a reality TV veteran and can count appearances on ‘The Celebrity Circle’, ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ and ‘Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls’ as well as his ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ fame, he no longer watches those types of shows and is instead focusing on his podcast with best friend, former ‘Made In Chelsea’ cast member Sam Thompson, 31.
He said: “I don’t watch any reality TV either and I definitely don’t watch myself on it, I couldn’t think of anything worse!”
Wicks said that he and Thomson “are blessed to still have careers” and is surprised by how successful the pair’s podcast ‘Staying Relevant’ has become.
He said: “We are really enjoying it. Sam and I are going to be doing a tour with it with, which is exciting.
“Although he [Sam] thinks it’s a Rolling Stones-style global tour – which it obviously isn’t!”
