London: Pete Wicks has opened up about a really tough time in his life. After his breakup with Megan McKenna, he faced some serious backlash. Can you believe he got death threats every single day?
He was chatting with Paul Brunson on a podcast and shared how overwhelming it was. He said it was hard to look back and realize just how bad things got. He felt like a target, with people even spitting at him in the streets.
Pete described feeling like a “national hate figure.” It’s wild how one breakup can lead to such intense feelings from strangers. Despite all the negativity, he was mostly worried about Megan and how she felt. He felt guilty for what happened between them.
Even after his time on Strictly, he continued to receive threats. He mentioned that people were upset he was still in the competition while other dancers were leaving. It’s crazy how people can be so harsh, right? No one deserves that kind of treatment.
Since their split, both Pete and Megan have moved on. Megan is now a mom and engaged to footballer Oliver Burke. Funny enough, they reconnected while filming Celebs Go Dating a few years back.
As for Pete, he’s been linked to Maura Higgins from Love Island. He spoke about her on the podcast, saying she’s a great person and he hopes she thinks the same about him. It sounds like he’s in a better place now.
