Charlotte Crosby slams rumours she's dating TOWIE's Pete Wicks

After her public split with Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear last week, Charlotte Crosby has been forced to deny rumours she's dating The Only Way Is Essex's Pete Wicks.

Fans started to get excited about a potential romance between the pair when they posed for a photo together at the KISS House Party Live event last Thursday night.

The former Geordie Shore star posed alongside Pete, her best friend Holly Hagan, Amber Turner and TOWIE couple James Lock and Yazmin Oukhellou, but fans were drawn to how cosy Charlotte and Pete looked in the snap.

After many fans were quick to comment on the photo asking Charlotte if she's moved on from Stephen Bear by getting with newly single Pete, the reality star felt the need to hit back at the rumours and cleared things up.

Taking to the comments section of the photo, Charlotte responded by writing, 'Come on guys really?! Me and Pete and Megan McKenna have all been friends for a long time. Why on earth would you all jump to silly conclusions because we are in a group pic. Friends guys.' sic

Pete, who recently ended his romance with Megan McKenna, also commented on the photo and wrote, '@charlottegshore Ridiculous 😂 #Mates' sic

That's that all cleared up!

Charlotte and Bear ended their on/off/on/off romance earlier this month when the Geordie girl seemingly accused the reality star of 'cheating' on her.

A devastated Charlotte took to Twitter to accuse Bear of “necking on” with another girl “in front of everyone” in an Essex nightclub, in a series of tweets that she’s since deleted.

She wrote, 'I can't believe stuck by some1 for so long.... for its to take 48 hours for them to be necking on with some1 in a club'. sic

Adding, 'In front of every1….. WOW'. sic

Charlotte later wrote, 'When you try and tell every1 some1 is different and you have there back thru and thru. And they go and prove you wrong'. sic

After the break-up, Charlotte attended the KISS House Party Live in London with Holly Hagan, and it seems Holly just couldn't resist having a go at her friend's ex-boyfriend.

Sharing a snap of the pair on the red carpet, Holly wrote, 'You didn't think she'd be be fine without you.. well guess what, she's better 😈💅🏼' sic

Despite Bear denying the cheating rumours, the CBB winner did seriously annoy Charlotte's followers over the weekend with his latest tweet.

The controversial star wrote, 'When you wake up and realise your sexy, rich, single, drive a sports car and move into their house in 3 weeks. F-- all you haters.' sic

So much drama!
