Towie fans lash out at Pete Wicks over romantic birthday date with Megan McKenna just days before sexting scandal broke
The birthday celebrations were filmed just days before it emerged he had been sexting his ex-girlfriend
TOWIE fans lashed out at Pete Wicks after new scenes showed him enjoying a romantic birthday dinner with Megan McKenna, just days before she found out he was sexting his ex-girlfriend.
The first episode of the new series aired on Sunday night and saw Pete, 26, spoil Megan on her 24th birthday and present her with a Rolex watch at a top notch restaurant in Marbella.
However, just days after these scenes were filmed, The Sun Online exclusively revealed that the tattooed bad boy had been sending x-rated messages to an ex while on holiday with Megan.
Fans were quick to slam Pete over the now-heart breaking scenes as he presented her with a huge bouquet of flowers and perhaps predicted the future scandal by telling her: "Hopefully not the last we celebrate together," to which Megan replied "Obviously not!"
As well as the stunning Rolex watch, Pete gave Megan a heartfelt card that read: "Megan, this may be your first birthday with me but hopefully not the last.
"I know I have my faults but you accept them, and I am grateful for that.
"I have so much admiration for you and everything you have achieved. You are the best girlfriend a geezer could ask for.
"Happy birthday, I love you."
Viewers took to Twitter to rally around Megan, who was watching the scenes just a week after their messy break-up.
One wrote: "It's hard watching Pete be nice to Megan after everything!"
Another added: "Will never get how Pete cheated on Megan after tonight's episode #TOWIE."
Someone else wrote: "Pete tried so hard to get Megan and told everyone his sob story about finding it hard to love, and he goes and cheats #TOWIE."
Another fan wrote: "This must be so hard for @Megan_Mckenna to watch!"
After the news broke, the pair were pictured having an explosive row and in a preview clip for next week's episode, Megan shouts at him saying: "I don't even want to f***ing hear your voice."
The shot then switches to the former Ex On The Beach star shoving her Rolex-wrapped wrist in his face.
Pete had given her the luxurious watch for her birthday, only a few days before the scandal broke.
She said: "That is guilt written all over it."
He denied that it was guilt but she quickly dismissed him: "Yes it is guilt!"
She then erupted into a sweary rant and was clearly distressed about the fact that he had said that he wanted to be single.
