He split from on/off girlfriend Megan McKenna this month, with the emotional break-up airing during Wednesday’s episode of TOWIE.
But rather than stay in and watch the sad scenes, Pete Wicks was enjoying a night on the town with a female companion, stepping out in London as the show aired.
As Pete, 28, attempted to move on from his romance woes, Megan, 25, was hitting back at claims she had been dating her ex-boyfriend Harry Eden behind Pete’s back.

A representative for the TOWIE starlet insisted this wasn’t the case whilst referencing Pete’s famous sexting scandal last year – when he was caught sending explicit messages to his ex.
Her rep told MailOnline: ‘Megan NEVER cheated on Pete or sexted with anybody whilst they were in a relationship, unlike Pete.
‘Megan has not been meeting up with Harry for months the first time they met up was last week when Megan was single. They had no contact at all whilst Megan was in a relationship with Pete.’

The comments came after it was claimed Megan had reunited with Harry, before splitting with Pete.
Prior to the former lovers being linked back in April, Harry dated the brunette beauty for two years until 2014, and now runs Maisons Bar in Chelmsford, Essex.
Insiders told MailOnline: ‘Megan has been meeting her ex in secret for months and now he feels like a mug for standing by her.
‘Pals warned Pete months ago that Megan was still seeing her ex, but he refused to believe them because he loved her.’

The source continued: ‘It came out on the show that she had been at after parties with her ex and pals, including some of the Towie cast, knew then that it was more than that, but Pete chose to trust her and believe she was being honest with him.
‘It seems he was wrong and he feels like a total mug. At first it was like Harry was a rebound for Pete but it’s obvious to everyone that it was the other way round.
‘She’s not popular with his friends, she’s shown her true colours and they are just hopeful now that Pete can now finally move on and stop beating himself up about his own mistakes.’
End of an era: Megan and Pete have been dating on and off for nearly two years
