Celebs Go Dating fans say same thing as TOWIE's Pete Wicks makes flirty show comeback

Celebs Go Dating viewers were left stunned as reality star Pete Wicks made another appearance on the E4 show.

The TOWIE favourite, 34, has had a number of failed relationships in the public eye, but is determined to find "the one".

He has once again enlisted the help of the E4 dating show as he finally tries to settle down with the help of relationship experts Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson.

Even his fellow celebrities were surprised to see Pete on the show again when he walked into the dating agency after a previous two runs at finding love.

But some of E4's viewers did not believe the TOWIE star deserved another chance at finding the one.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “Everyone's reaction when Pete walked in, oh how I wish I was there,” as another echoed: “Pete again, bloody hell!”

A third tweeted: “Pete Wicks making the rounds again (yawn) He is so yesterday. He is wasting a space of someone who is genuinely looking for love.”

Another fan believed there could be romance with one of his co-stars on the show, Love Island ’s Laura Anderson, as one wrote: “I predict Pete sizing up Laura to be his next victim.”

This comes after relationship expert Anna Williamson promised fans they will see a different side to the star on his third go.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, the Relationship Place co-founder said: "I think Pete is a great example of recognising when you're going through things in life and when the timing is perhaps right."

She continued: "Pete has been through a lot this year emotionally and wanted to do things a bit differently and wants to kind of move forward but, like a lot of people, needs a little bit of help and coaching to do that and every credit to him for saying that now is the time. Pete has the most phenomenal journey on this series."

Despite Pete's apparent reputation, Anna says the agency deals with everyone in the same way and doesn't hold any judgement or have any preconceived ideas about their celebs.

Anna said: "The beauty of the agency is that all [bad press] is left at the door when they arrive with us.

"It's about working on the here and now and their future and I think what's really lovely particularly with those guys that are pretty synonymous with being ladies men, is seeing the real side for them...seeing the side that is a lot more considered, emotionally intelligent, and emotionally mature and you will see some really good progress from all of the boys."
