Pete Wicks has revealed he is certain Holly Willoughby 'hates' him after the This Morning star made a savage dig at The Only Way Is Essex star on the red carpet of the National Television Awards.
The drama was revealed on Pete and Sam Thompson's joint Staying Relevant podcast, where they candidly discussed their red carpet experiences after the pair interviewed celebs on the red carpet of the swanky event. A highlight of the evening, they confessed, was meeting This Morning host Holly Willoughby. Sam gushed: "She's like the queen of the NTAs," only to be interrupted by Pete's cheeky retort of "former queen" – before the podcast clip quickly cut and Sam then said: "We're back, something's just been thrown in to the vault" hinting Pete's comment on Holly wasn't to be shared on the podcast.
Recounting their encounter with the TV star, Sam said: "I just saw Holly Willoughby walking down the red carpet... We managed to bring her in. She didn't really have anywhere to go but Peter didn't care. I was like 'This is f***ing Holly Willoughby'."
Pete then chimed in, asking Sam, "Let me put this into perspective. Is that the first time you've met Holly?" He went on to share his own experiences with Holly, saying, "Okay, so I've met Holly quite a few times. And I think she's really lovely. However, she's so good at this that she's not that interesting to interview."
He added, "And also I have a sneaking suspicion that she genuinely hates me. And she did throw some shade, she does it every time. So, I wasn't that fussed."
Pete speculated that Holly's animosity towards him might stem from an incident on Celebrity Juice a few years ago. He admitted, "I think she thinks I'm some kind of f**k boy a**hole and she would be absolutely correct in that, but she makes it known."
Sam then revealed how they told Holly they had once shared a bed with Holly's co-star Alison Hammond. But Holly was quick to hit back at Pete, saying: "That doesn't surprise me with your track record," the boys claimed. Pete then added: "I was like f***ing hell..."
On the evening of the NTAs, Holly gushed about her co-presenter Alison as she told the Daily Star: "Alison needs no advice, that one is a pocket rocket. She's one of those unique people who is so wonderful and natural and just who she is on the telly."
Holly shared that Alison had surprised her with a belly chain purchased from Sheperd's Bush Market. "She came into work today and bought me a belly chain," Holly said.
In a humorous twist, Holly added, "And she said 'I bought you this, I know you're not going to wear it under your dress, but I've bought you two actually because I think they will look really nice on you."
