Maura Higgins was dealt a fresh blow as she was sat just metres away from her ex Pete Wicks at the BRIT Awards on Saturday. 

MailOnline revealed the I’m A Celeb and Strictly stars’ romance was over on Valentine’s Day, as Maura lashed out by claiming Pete was ‘probably cheating’ when asked where he was as she celebrated her single status at London H๏τspot Sheesh. 

The exes were both among those who attended the star-studded BRIT Awards at The O2 in London. 

Maura took to the red carpet in a completely sheer black gown, while Pete was joined by the Irish star’s rival Olivia Attwood – after the pair announced a joint podcast. 

But inside the venue, Maura and Pete were not able to distance each other as much, as The Sun reported their tables were positioned directly opposite one another. 

The close proximity continued later in the evening as they all headed to the same after party, Universal at 180 Strand, with Pete and Olivia arriving arm-in-arm.

Meanwhile Maura made an outfit change from her daring red carpet look into a black suit-style playsuit with white frills. 

She also headed to the after party alongside her I’m A Celeb co-star, and King Of The Jungle, McFly’s Danny Jones, before she was seen getting into a taxi home. 

Pete made light of Maura’s cheating comment as he spoke to MailOnline on the red carpet on Saturday. 

Speaking about his best friend Sam Thompson, Pete told MailOnline: ‘It’s hard for Sam tonight because I’ve got a new work wife. But, he’s not far away, he’s over there actually.’ 

He added: ‘It is a little bit weird because it feels like I am…’

‘Cheating?’ Olivia interrupted as they both broke out into fits of laughter, before she added: ‘Not the first time, I might add.’

‘Because… I have never done that,’ Pete said. 

Pals of Pete previously told MailOnline he was never unfaithful to Maura during their romance and has been left hurt by her ‘cheating’ accusations.

Maura arrived on the red carpet in a sheer floral gown that left her sensational figure on full display and boasted black pipe detailing to accentuate her curves.

Opting to forgo a bra underneath the fitted number, Maura preserved her modesty with several strategically-placed intricate embroidered flowers.

However, as the TV star posed up a storm on the red carpet, she made sure to flash a cheeky glimpse at her lacy black thong underneath. 

She gave herself several extra inches with a pair of black high heels and kept her accessories simple to allow her show-stopping outfit to have all the attention.

TRESemmé products were used to style her brunette hair in a dramatic updo, with several strands slicked to resemble a flower and completed the look with full face of glamorous makeup.  

MailOnline exposed the secret rift between Olivia and Maura last year.

It came as Olivia accused 2019 Islander Maura, of using the ‘same script’ including her reasons for entering the ITV2 dating show – ‘revenge on an ex.’ 

Her comments came as Maura starred on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, two years after Olivia had to suddenly leave the Australian jungle due to medical reasons. 

While in January, Olivia insisted to MailOnline: ‘Without sounding arrogant, I don’t feel like I’m in compeтιтion with anyone. 

‘I am relentlessly insane, no one can outwork me. They can try but they won’t succeed.’

The 2025 BRIT Awards ceremony was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Maura ensured all eyes were on her on Saturday night as she donned one of her raciest looks yet to the BRIT Awards 2025

Pete looked typically dapper in a fitted black suit and a matching collared shirt, left half unʙuттoned to show off his tattoos.

As perhaps as a means of revenge, Pete arrived at the awards ceremony with pal Olivia as his date, who has long been rumoured to be feuding with Maura

The night featured mᴀssive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

They joined an exciting lineup of acts including Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party. 

Charli XCX was originally set to perform but decided not to despite months of negotiations – with host Jack joking that she chose not to so she could get drunk.

According to a close source, the decision comes as she shifted her focus toward preparing for the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month.

The pop singer led the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who had been recognised in four categories. 

In the end, Charli’s smash hit album BRAT swept the board and took home all of the five awards she was nominated for. 

The British singer, 32, whose No1 album became a cultural phenomenon last summer, took home Best Album, Artist of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Dance Act and Best Song Writing.
