Pete Wicks has outed his best pal’s secret crush, saying Sam Thompson has eyes for a mate’s sister. Former TOWIE star Pete, 36, spilled the beans on ex MadeIn Chelsea man Sam, 32, following his public breakup with Zara McDermott.
But Pete insists Sam has moved on and claimed his attention could be focused elsewhere. Speaking on Pete and Olivia Attwood’s podcast, Sunday Roast Reheated, Pete explained how he and Pete had bumped into Olivia while out for dinner.
He said his pal went on to declare his love for the former Love Island star’s sister. “Sam has an unhealthy fascination slash obsession with one of the Attwood’s – and it isn’t Liv…,” Pete said.

Olivia chimed in to explain the awkward interaction: “He’s got a crush on my sister…. but this is how Sam shoots his shot. When Pete went to the toilet Sam came and sat in Pete’s seat next to my sister, stared at her, then turned to her and said I love you. They don’t know each other – they’ve met once!’
Pete added: “Liv’s sister is happily married but Sam thought – do you know what I’ve got a new mullet, I’ve had a glow up, this might work…”
“He’s like, I’m going to throw it at the wall and see what sticks,” Olivia went on before Pete joked: “And I tell you what stuck… nothing, not a thing.”
Sam has been looking for love since his surprise split from Zara. While Zara appears to be moving nicely with One Direction man Louis Tomlinson, it appears as though Sam is single again.
He had been involved with Love Island’s Samie Elishi but is said to have cooled things last month. It left him reportedly heading onto celebrity dating apps to find his perfect match.
Despite being snapped locking lips with Samie, 25, the duo are said to have called time on things, with a source telling us: “They both have busy lives, it just didn’t work out.”
Sam is now said to be looking for love after taking to ‘Tinder for the illuminati’, Raya. He is said to be looking to connect with a whole host of famous faces, who have been granted access to the exclusive dating site.
