Pete Wicks, known for his appearances on Towie and Strictly Come Dancing, has taken a costly measure to steer clear of his ex, Maura Higgins, post-breakup.

A new bachelor pad in London

Wicks has relocated from Essex to a new bachelor pad in London to reduce the chances of bumping into his former flame. The luxury apartment reportedly costs him a hefty £2,400 per month in rent.

The swanky apartment comes with perks like an on-site gym, a rooftop garden, and a bar within the building. Wicks even shared a photo of himself moving in, showcasing his French bulldogs, Eric and Peggy.

The breakup saga

Following a series of fiery arguments, Wicks and Higgins decided to part ways. Reports suggest that Higgins ended the relationship after discovering Wicks was chatting with multiple women online, leading to trust issues.

Scathing remarks and podcast talk

While neither party has directly addressed the breakup, Higgins was caught on video making a cynical comment about cheating. On the other hand, Wicks discussed the 'Strictly curse' on his podcast with Sam Thompson, hinting at their relationship woes.

Fear of commitment

Wicks' fear of commitment came to light in an interview where he expressed his reluctance to settle down and impact someone's life. This revelation followed a cozy Christmas break the couple had together after Higgins appeared on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
