I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Danielle Harold has addressed rumours that she is dating Pete Wicks. Former TOWIE star Pete flew out to Australia earlier this month to support his best friend, King of the Jungle Sam Thompson.

Rumours later emerged that former EastEnders actress Danielle was dating Pete after the pair were pictured together at the I'm A Celeb wrap party. Appearing on Tuesday's (December 19th) episode of Loose Women, Danielle discussed the speculation.

She explained that she and Pete have been friends for years and have found the rumours funny, telling the panel: "We've been laughing so much. No, we've been laughing so much. We come out and you go out with all the friends and family, but me and Pete are just good friends. Have been for years, but we've been having a good giggle about it."

Pete and Sam also discussed the dating rumours on their Staying Relevant podcast.

Sam added: "Pete got linked to every single person out there. He got linked to Sarah - Nick's girlfriend, he got linked to Danielle, he got linked to my girlfriend Zara, he got linked to Rochelle (Humes) at one point. I don't think there were any more women out there to get linked to.

"Do you know what my favourite thing about this is, I've gone into the jungle and Pete's flown out there to be there for me and it's literally he can't get away from it. He's come to Australia, and it's 'Pete Wicks linked with whoever the f--- he's linked with', he'll never outrun it."
