Shelby Tribble looks cosy with Sam Mucklow after ex Pete Wicks gets close to Ellie Brown
Shelby and Pete split last month after Shelby found out that the Essex bad boy had been 'sexting other girls'
SHELBY Tribble has been pictured cosying up to Sam Mucklow after they filmed scenes together at Jump Street in Essex.
The pictures have emerged just hours after Shelby's ex, Pete Wicks, was spotted getting close to Love Island's Ellie Brown.
Towie's Shelby beamed as Sam put his arm around her after they climbed at the activity centre.
The brunette star looked glam in bright pink sportswear - with her hair pulled back into an understated ponytail.
Earlier this evening, The Sun Online exclusively revealed that Ellie had seemingly moved on from ex Charlie Brake with Pete.
The blonde Geordie was pictured in an intimate embrace with Shelby's lothario ex at ITV's swanky gala last night.
The pair looked incredibly close in the snaps - with the photos emerging just days after The Sun revealed Ellie had enjoyed a snog with former Towie hunk Joey Essex.
An onlooker told The Sun Online that Ellie and Pete had been flirting all night before they appeared to start kissing.
They explained: "Ellie and Pete were together towards the end of the night and were flirting like mad.
"They didn’t seem to care who could see them and seemed really keen on each other."
Pete and Ellie have both denied that they kissed during their night out and insisted they are just friends.
Pete, 29, has been single since he and Shelby split last month after an eight month romance.
Towie fans watched in shock as Shelby confronted the bad boy after learning he had been sexting multiple other girls.
But trust wasn't the only pitfall during their time together, as close pals of the pair previously said that Pete felt something was missing between them from the beginning.
A source told The Sun: "Shelby ended up finishing with Pete but only because he forced her hand and she felt like there was nothing else she could do to save their romance.
"Viewers saw on Sunday that Pete didn’t contact Shelby at all while he was away on a modelling job that involved him spending time with loads of girls, leaving her feeling insecure.
"After filming emotional scenes for the show Shelby hoped to hear from Pete but he didn’t get in touch with her then either.

"She found out about texts he sent another girl shortly after they started dating but loved him enough to let it slide.
"But she couldn’t cope with feeling like a rebound following his time with Megan [McKenna], and friends of theirs saying she was too boring for him, so he ended it for good."
Meanwhile, Sam split from his girlfriend of six months, Nicole Bass, last month.
