Are Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks back together, why did they split up and how long were they dating?

MEGAN McKenna and Pete Wicks had a tumultuous relationship on Towie and now a year after splitting they're back face-to-face on E4's Celebs Go Dating.

Here's all about their rocky history and what's going on between them now.

Are Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks back together?

No, the one-time couple have not reconciled.

But they have become friends after being forced into counselling on Celebs Go Dating.

The pair buried the hatchet following an emotional chat with experts Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson before flying out to Tenerife for the finale.

Megan and Pete's session worked and they've now ended their year-long feud – and they've even given advice on each other's dates.

Pete told The Sun Online: "Speaking to Anna and Paul is emotional, I had to hold myself back. We got a bit of a telling off.

"We've been through some bad relationships, including our own one so it makes us more sceptical about love.

"It's weird filming with Megan again, the last time we spoke we went through a break up on camera and haven't spoken since.

"Everyone only knows us for being nuts. If you think Pete and Megan, you think, 'Where's security?'

"But me and Megan get on well, it was the pressure of everything else and me being a d***head that made us fall apart.

"One of the nicest things of us doing Celebs Go Dating is we've gone back to being mates again.

"It was awkward and a shock at the start but we're pals again. She's been telling me about her dates, I've been talking about mine.

"If people are expecting madness they're gonna be disappointed. This show has been the closure we both needed."

Megan added: "It was so weird, of all the people me and him end up in a session together at the agency.

"It wasn't awkward at all, I can sit and talk to him. It was weird before but it's fine now, we're mates again.

"I'm just so glad we've come together on this show and we're friends again.

"I feel like we've laid a few ghosts to rest. I remember why we were mates in the first place, before all the s***."

Why did they split and how long did they date?

Megan and Pete dated for about a year-and-a-half.

The pair split after Megan discovered Pete had been sexting other girls.

Megan and Pete started dating around April 2016 and things progressed when she joined Towie.

They even talked of “love” until they were rocked by a sex text scandal in September 2016.

The couple reunited a few months later and were officially back together by December that year.

However, their rollercoaster romance hit the skids again in March 2017 after non-stop rows and they split again, with emotional scenes airing on Towie.

The couple called it quits for good in October 2017.

Pete later dated his Towie co-star Shelby Tribble.

However, their relationship didn't last and on September 18, 2018, The Sun's Bizarre column exclusively revealed that they split because Shelby felt like a rebound after Megan.
