Friends of Pete Wicks have backed up the allegations that Megan McKenna cheated on him before they split by divulging details of an after party at which she reportedly shared a bed with ‘new flame’ Harry Eden.
Speaking to MailOnline, sources close to heartbroken Pete, 28, revealed: ‘He had people telling him that they’d spotted [Megan and Harry] out together several times and even shared a bed at an after party.
‘Pete has no proof that Megan cheated on him and wants to believe their relationship was genuine, but he has friends telling him it’s been going on for months he is struggling to think anything else.’
‘He’s lost friends over it!’ Pete Wicks’ pal ‘knew Megan McKenna shared a bed with ex’ while dating him but he ‘refused to believe it’… after she vehemently denies cheating rumours
It seems that Pete has not only felt humiliated by the fiasco, but that he jeopardized the friendships with those who warned him about Megan after he refused to pay attention to their advice.
The source went on: ‘Pete has lost friends over this as they have all been telling him for weeks that Megan and Harry had been seen together and that Harry was trying to woo Megan back, but he refused to believe them. Now he knows they were all right.
‘He is feeling embarrassed that he’s the last to know as information is coming from all angles now. There’s no smoke without fire and it all seems too coincidental.’
This information comes as Megan, 28, vehemently denied any allegations of cheating on her TOWIE co-star, via her representatives.
‘Megan NEVER cheated on Pete or sexted with anybody whilst they were in a relationship, unlike Pete,’ they told MailOnline on Thursday.
‘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.’

24 hours earlier, further sources close to Pete – who was spotted enjoying a night on the town with surfer Laura Crane on Wednesday evening (who his reps insisted was just a friend) – first revealed that Megan had reunited with Harry before splitting with her on/off boyfriend.
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.’
