PETE Wicks has finally broken his silence on his relationship with Maura Higgins.

The reality stars went public with their romance in August last year, though both Pete, 37, and Maura, 34, have been coy when asked about it publicly.

During a new a interview with Celebs Go Dating's Paul Brunson for his podcast, former Towie star Pete was grilled on his situation with Maura.

He said: "Maura and I have known each other for a long time now... about six years.

"We have the same sense of humour, she's super intelligent and I think that is sometimes something that people don't realise about Maura.

"She's incredibly witty. We have always been there for each other for the past six years at a distance."

But Pete continued: "It's different now. We spend more time together now than we did before. My relationship with her is that I think she's a great person and I would hope that she thinks I'm alright."

Despite Pete's high praise, Maura recently admitted she has "terrible" taste in men.

She went on to say “it would be lovely” to be in love, as she opened up to The Times about her dating life.

Maura continued to say she’s “happy now,” when asked whether or not she’s in love.

And on the topic of Pete, Maura shared: “I don’t feel like I need a man. But I’ll date, and I’ll see where something goes, and if it happens, it happens.”

It comes after Pete did an interview with The Times himself, and revealed why he has never been in a long term romance.

Curtis Pritchard admits things are VERY frosty with ex Maura Higgins and says she ‘blanks him’

He said: "[Settling down] is the bit I just can’t do.

"The minute a relationship gets to the point where I seem to be having an impact on someone’s life, it scares the s*** out of me.”
