Pete Wicks dates Love Island's Samantha Kenny after Maura Higgins split

Pete Wicks, best known from reality TV, has started a new relationship with Samantha Kenny, a recent Love Island contestant, following his breakup with Maura Higgins earlier this year. Wicks and Kenny reportedly met on the showbiz party circuit and were first seen together outside Mayfair’s Amazonico club in March, with sources saying they have gone on several dates and have strong chemistry. Samantha previously appeared on Love Island, where her relationship with Joey Essex ended after a new contestant joined the villa. Wicks’s previous split with Maura Higgins was marked by accusations of infidelity, although sources close to Wicks insist that messages found by Higgins were innocent. Both Wicks and Kenny’s friends describe the new relationship as a 'fresh start' for Wicks, and their pairing coincides with Wicks’s best friend, Sam Thompson, also dating a former Love Islander. The news has garnered attention on social media and among fans of British reality TV.
