Towie newcomer Shelby Tribble says she’ll fight Megan McKenna for Pete Wicks if she tries to win him back
SHELBY Tribble has warned Megan McKenna to stay away from her man.
The Towie newbie started dating co-star Pete Wicks just months after he split from Megan, 25.
And Shelby is adamant there will be hell to pay for Megan if she tries to get back with Pete, 29.
Pete and Megan split last year after a fiery on-off romance.
Shelby told the : "I'm not going to take any s*** off anyone.
"At the moment I'm getting on with people…but if it comes to it I can definitely hold my own.
"I wouldn't let someone walk all over me. If someone tries to do that they won't get anywhere. I can stand up for myself."
She added: "I'm completely different to Megan and people will see that on the show. We haven't met and I don't know her, so I don't really owe her anything.
"There wouldn't be an argument…well, there wouldn't be one from my side unless she tried to get back with Pete."
However, Shelby, 25, seems to think Megan is too happy with new boyfriend Mike Thalassitis to even bother making a play for Pete.
