Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins shared a kiss at this year’s glamorous Pride of Britain event. The Mirror looks back at their flirty past, which includes cozy lunches and moments where they shared “intense” looks.
After months of rumors, Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins confirmed their relationship with a kiss, even though Pete had said earlier that night he was “single.” According to The Mirror, the two were seen kissing and getting close at the Pride of Britain afterparty at the Red Bar in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
This news probably won’t shock fans, as there have been rumors about Pete and Maura for a while. Meanwhile, Pete, 35, has also faced a lot of attention over his friendship with his Strictly Come Dancing partner, Jowita Przystal, because their strong chemistry made fans wonder if there was more going on. The Mirror looks back at Pete and Maura’s flirty history and their playful moments together.
Close Conversation
This isn’t the first time Pete and Maura seemed close at the Pride of Britain Awards. At the 2023 event, they were seen having a deep conversation and sharing looks that hinted at something more than just friendship.
Maura broke up with her Hollywood stuntman boyfriend, Bobby Holland Hanton, in March, and Pete, known for his playboy image, has been single for a while. Though he has a reputation as a womanizer, Pete has spoken openly about wanting to settle down. In a recent interview with The Times, he said, “I’m nearly 36. I want to get married and have kids. I’ve had many great opportunities, but what’s the point if I can’t share them with someone?” He also admitted that he’s not ready for a serious relationship yet because he’s still figuring himself out.
Maura has been a strong supporter of Pete. In September, she cheered him on when he released his memoir Never Enough: My Words Unfiltered by posting “Proud of you” on her Instagram story.
The two have also been seen having fun trying out dance moves on TikTok, with Maura getting into the spirit as Pete continues on Strictly Come Dancing.
Lunch Kiss
In August, Pete and Maura were spotted enjoying a cozy outdoor lunch at the Broadwick Soho Hotel. Even though it was a public place, they didn’t hold back when it came to kissing. Pete reportedly arrived about an hour after Maura, who was with friends. An eyewitness told The Sun that after sitting for a while, Maura leaned in for a long, passionate kiss with Pete, which was more than just a friendly peck. The source added that they could barely take their eyes off each other, with Pete keeping his arm around Maura all evening. They looked very much in love and weren’t trying to hide it.
Intense Looks
After photos of them in Soho went public, body language expert Judi James commented that they seemed “equally smitten” with each other, which is rare for celebrities. She told The Mirror that when famous reality stars like Maura and Pete start a relationship, it often looks one-sided or staged, where one person seems more interested than the other. But in their case, Judi noted that their eye contact and gazes at each other looked balanced and intense. This kind of connection is unusual for reality stars, as one usually looks captivated while the other might be distracted by cameras.
Making Light of Rumors
They also seem to be having fun with the rumors about their relationship.
Maura responded to the gossip with some playful humor by wearing a t-shirt featuring the photo that got everyone talking, along with the slogan “We can’t be friends.”
She wore the shirt while supporting Pete and his friend Sam Thompson during their live podcast recording at Hammersmith Apollo. Maura shared a picture of herself in the shirt on her Instagram Story and wrote, “Hilarious night… You smashed it!”
Podcast probe
Pete recently chatted with Olivia Attwood, a former star from TOWIE, on her podcast So Wrong It’s Right, where she asked him about his relationship with Maura. Olivia, 33, didn’t hold back and directly asked, “Your dating life. Maura Higgins?” Pete responded, “Me and Maura have known each other for a long time.”
Olivia kept pushing, saying, “You’ve had a kiss; we’ve seen it!” Pete replied, “No, you haven’t seen it.” Olivia wasn’t letting him off the hook, adding, “We’ve seen a picture of it.” She then asked, “Are you and your dance partner romantically involved?”
Pete burst out laughing and exclaimed, “My God!” Olivia said, “You don’t get awards by not asking the questions!” Instead of answering, Pete joked, “One of the biggest problems is my b******.” He added, “I have to wear Spanx… otherwise, Shirley will end up with a couple of black eyes!”
After party kiss
Even though Pete and Maura haven’t talked much about their clear chemistry, people at the Pride of Britain Awards noticed their feelings for each other. Maura was seen giving Pete a sweet kiss on the nose, followed by a kiss on the lips.
An attendee told The Mirror that they overheard Pete talking about being single at the afterparty, despite their affectionate behavior. The guest said, “Pete did seem cozy with Maura at times, but he wasn’t shy about telling people he was single. He proudly declared he was single on the red carpet during interviews and even joked about not being in a relationship at the bar after the awards.”
The 2024 Prophecies Of Nostradamus Are Just As Terrifying As You Could Expect
As 2024 draws near, the enduring predictions of renowned astrologer and seer Nostradamus cast an ominous shadow.
For good cause, we have written a great deal about Nostradamus in the past.
His enigmatic statements, which are threaded throughout Les Propheties, have sparked curiosity about and fear for the upcoming year.
Nostradamus’s Doomsday Predictions
Nostradamus explores a pessimistic forecast for 2024 in his well-known quatrains, which are prized for their purported prophetic abilities.
Even though his predictions are shrouded in arcane language, they foretell approaching cataclysmic events.
Nostradamus predicted that by 2024, the atmosphere would be completely chaotic.
He depicts a universe in his quatrains where the planet is drying up and cataclysmic floods happen.
Even though his predictions are shrouded in arcane language, they foretell approaching cataclysmic events.
Nostradamus predicted that by 2024, the atmosphere would be completely chaotic.
He depicts a universe in his quatrains where the planet is drying up and cataclysmic floods happen.
These catastrophic climatic events could lead to an ecological imbalance, which could result in extreme droughts in some places.
Rather than just regular floods, a “very great famine through pestiferous wave” might indicate destructive floods that destroy crops, spread disease, and result in mass starvation.
If this forecast comes true, the environment may unleash hitherto unseen amounts of devastation, making this year extremely risky.
Russian and Chinese Navy are at odds
Nostradamus’s prophecy about a naval battle, in which the “Red adversary” would turn “pale with fear” and “put the great Ocean in dread,” has been interpreted as potentially including China.
This dire prediction could portend a significant naval conflict between China and other countries, as well as rising geopolitical tensions.
Given China’s military capability and the escalation of regional conflicts, an oceanic confrontation appears to be foretold and might have far-reaching implications for global peace.
The Royal Tumult of Nostradamus
One of the predictions pertaining to the monarchy is that a “king without the mark of a king” will be installed in place of the “King of the Isles,” who will be abolished.
These enigmatic quatrains appear to allude to significant discord within the royal family. Many believe it could be a reference to King Charles III, who resigned under intense public pressure and examination.
Future monarchy is made even more unpredictable by Prince Harry’s ascent, who is seen as being unconventional for the royal position.
The Next Generation Pope
Nostradamus predicts that due to his elderly age, Pope Francis will be superseded by a new pope.
His prediction that a younger Roman Pontiff will be elected appears reasonable at first.
However, the prophecy also says that the new pope will “weaken his see” and hold power for a little longer.
A possible interpretation of “weakening” is that the leadership of the church under the upcoming pope will result in a decline in credibility and power.
It creates the chance that scandals or disputes could break out inside the Vatican at this particular moment.
Each of these predictions points to the possibility of storms relating to the weather, politics, royalty, and religious institutions in 2024. These forecasts’ ambiguity has spurred discussion and speculation about what lies next.
Conclusion: The Unpredictability of Prophecies by Nostradamus
Nostradamus’ prophecy has enthralled readers for centuries with its forecasts of approaching political and apocalyptic events.
However, his predictions are so vague that they are subject to debate.
As the globe prepares for the coming year, these enigmatic prophesies highlight the enigmatic nature of prophecy.
Thus, exercise caution and consider them mostly a source of entertainment.
