Megan McKenna looks stylish as she’s seen for the first time since ex Pete Wicks was pictured kissing Amber Davies
MEGAN McKenna put on a brave face as she was seen for the first time since it emerged her ex Pete Wicks has been enjoying a string of secret dates with Love Island winner Amber Davies.
Megan and Pete ended their fiery 18-month on/off relationship in October.
Megan looked stylish as she headed out to meet friends for brunch in her native Essex.
The reality star has remained tight-lipped about the news that her ex has moved on already to another high-profile romance.
TOWIE's Pete and Love Island winner Amber - who split from boyfriend Kem Cetinay in December after four months together - tried to insist that they were ‘just friends’ after The Sun Online exclusively revealed they’d been going on secret ‘dates’ for a month.
But the pair shared a passionate kiss, which Amber videoed and uploaded to Instagram Stories earlier this month, before quickly deleting it minutes later.
In the video, Pete, 29, stares into Amber’s eyes before moving in for a snog with his eyes closed.
A smiling Amber, 20, pulls him in close as they kiss.
The video was posted on 4 January, late at night, but eagle eyed fans spotted it before Love Island star Amber managed to delete the video and replace it with a more innocent one, where she and Pete cuddle and mess around with Instagram filters.
Amber and Pete's dates have included going for dinner at Sheesh in Essex, and on a cosy cinema trip, but Pete quickly denied it on Twitter.
The pair have been spotted out together on several occasions
The Sun Online’s NTAs insider said they looked close at the awards party too.
“Amber was laughing and touching Pete’s chest in the smoking area. At one point he had his arm around her. It looked really flirty.”
They narrowly avoided an awkward run in at the afterparty, but Megan was forced to leave early after recovering from a recent illness which the previous week had left her hospitalised.
But a source close to Pete says: “Pete doesn’t want to get into a relationship right now after he got his heart broken by Megan , so even though Amber seems keen on taking things further, he doesn’t want to get her hopes up.

“They’ve got mutual friends, so he doesn’t want to be rude, but he doesn’t want to start dating her either.
"He's dating other women too - he's having a good time being single and seeing lots of girls.
“He’s wary of getting into another very public relationship after how things ended with Megan.”
