They’re longtime pals who are no stranger to sharing savage quips and insults.

And Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood have hinted that they are joining forces for an exciting new project, as they shared a cryptic Instagram post on Thursday.

The duo reposted a reel that had been shared by KISS FM, that showed voice notes between them in a Whatsapp Group тιтled TOP SECRET.

In the messages, the pair shared their usual quips, with Olivia joking Pete looks ‘about 80,’ while he said having her as a ‘work wife’ would be a ‘nightmare for him.’

Pete began: ‘I’ll be honest with you Liv, I don’t know how I feel about working with you, having you as a work wife is sort of a nightmare for me, I feel like I’m going to have to do a lot of the heavy lifting, based on the fact you lack personality.’

Olivia then hit back: ‘I don’t want you lifting too much as you are about 80…

‘But there’s something kind of terrifying to think about us on TOWIE being escorted from night life venues, and now we have this huge thing, we’ve basically been told not to screw it up.’

Pete added: ‘I give it a week before we’re cancelled, so yeah, what do you think?’  

‘Think about it like this, I’ve got everything to lose, you’ve got nothing to lose, but may the gods be in our favour,’ Olivia said.

The post sparked a flurry of speculation from fans on social media, with many sharing their excitement that Olivia and Pete were working together for the first time since their TOWIE heyday.

Posts included: ‘Interested as to what this is going to be. But love that they are doing something together, they are great entertainment;’

‘IM READY FOR THIS; oh this has me absolutely buzzing!!;’

‘Oooooo already here for this and have no clue what it is.’ 

Olivia and Pete are longtime friends after meeting on TOWIE in 2017, and both have regularly appeared on each other’s podcast, So Wrong It’s Right and Staying Relevant respectively.

Earlier in the day, Pete had been spotted in a surprise run-in with his best friend Vicky Pattison, as she left the KISS FM studios after promoting her new Channel 4 show.

The duo went straight in for a hug before leaning in for a friendly smooch when they bumped into one another outside the Bauer Media Group studios in Hampstead.  

The pair have been friends for a long time and in September, Pete shared a sweet pH๏τo from Vicky’s lavish wedding to Ercan Ramadan.

Confessing that his relationship with Maura has become more serious recently, Pete said: ‘We spend more time with each other than we did before.’

In December, Pete broke his silence on having a ‘very close’ relationship with Maura Higgins as he opened up about his private life.

The Strictly star and Maura sparked rumours they had spent Christmas together, after the couple posted snaps in what seemed like the same pub on December 25.

Pete, who found fame on The Only Way Is EsSєx in 2015, has now discussed being in the public eye and navigating relationships. 

Speaking to The Times, he said: ‘We’ve known each other for a very, very long time. We’re very close.

‘But a lot of being in the public eye is that people ᴀssume that you have to tell everyone all about your private life and I’ve never, never done that.’
