Pete Wicks spotted flirting with Love Island's Antigoni Buxton at Pride Of Britain Awards after party

Pete Wicks was spotted getting his flirt on at the Pride of Britain Awards after party last night.

The 33-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star was pictured cosying up to Love Island ’s Antigoni Buxton at the star-studded event.

At one point the pair had their arms around each other as Pete appeared to whisper something into Antigoni’s ear.

They were also seen laughing as they shared a joke and looked very comfortable with one another.

Singer Antigoni, who has applied to represent Greece in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, stunned in a mermaid-inspired off the shoulder green gown.

While long-haired Pete looked dapper in a smart grey suit with a black turtleneck jumper underneath.

It comes after Pete was recently spotted going on dates with his TOWIE co-star Ella Rae Wise.

Although there is an 11-year-age gap between him and 22-year-old Ella, Pete took her out to celebrate her birthday at a vineyard in one of the latest episodes of the ITV2 reality show.

They have been ‘flirty friends’ for a while now, but Ella was seen telling Pete she wanted to cool things off after locking lips with Jordan Brook.

Before friend-zoning Pete, Ella revealed Pete was “still worried about what others would think” of their budding relationship.

“He’s 11 years older. It’s quite a bit,” she told The Sun, adding she didn’t think Pete was looking for a relationship right now.

Even though he admits he isn’t looking for love – and only needs his pet dogs Eric and Peggy – Pete is set to star in the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating.

His appearance will mark the third time he has been on the Channel 4 show.

Other celebs taking part in this year’s series include singer Sinitta, Geordie Shore’s Bethan Kershaw and Hollyoaks heartthrob Gary Lucy.

Love Islanders Laura Anderson – who recently split with Dane Bowers – and Liam Reardon, who also called time on his relationship with Millie Court, will also star.

The Apprentice’s Navid Cole and The Tinder Swindler star Cecilie Fjellhøy complete this year’s line-up.

Lothario Pete has failed to find love so far, but has been linked to a string of famous women in the past.

His exes include TOWIE co-stars Chloe Sims, Jess Wright and Shelby Tribble.

He was also in a fiery 18-month relationship with reality star turned country singer Megan McKenna.

But one woman who was hoping Pete would find true love is his late nan Doreen, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Revealing what she had said to him, Pete shared: “I'd rather stay single and enjoy myself until I find the person who is worth changing that for.

“My nan always used to say to me that the two things you should fall in love with are someone's eyes, because they never age, and someone's heart because it never changes. It's the truth.“
