I’m A Celeb campmate Danielle Harold addressed reports about her and Pete Wicks‘ rumoured romance on Loose Women this week (Tuesday December 19).
Danielle, 31, was the focus of tabloid claims after she left the ITV jungle reality show earlier this month.
The ex-EastEnders actress reportedly looked “incredibly cosy” with reality show cast member Pete as they visited a Queensland bar with other I’m A Celebrity contestants.
An unnamed source at the time also told The Sun that Danielle “jumped on Pete’s back at one point”. They are also said to have posed for pictures together as well.

And she told the Loose Women panel and viewers she and Pete are entertained by the speculation about them.

She said: “We’ve been laughing so much. No, we’ve been laughing so much – bless him.
Me and Pete are just good friends.
“We come out [of the jungle] 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.”
Speaking on the podcast Staying Relevant, Pete recently said: “I just want to point out that I didn’t [blank] anyone’s wife.”
Sam meanwhile chipped in with: “Pete got linked to every single person out there. He got linked to Sarah – Nick’s [Pickard] girlfriend. He got linked to Danielle, he got linked to my girlfriend Zara [McDermott], and he got linked to Rochelle [Humes] at one point. I don’t think there were anymore women out there to get linked to.”
Pete added: “Genuinely, Sam could not be more loved and all that seems to have happened is that I am hated.”
Loose Women airs on ITV and ITVX on weekdays at 12.30pm.
