The Only Way is Essex’s Pete Wicks has outlined his intention to go on a date with I’m A Celebrity… South Africa contestant Carol Vorderman. While chatting to Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson during the latest episode of the Staying Relevant podcast, the 35-year-old reality TV star revealed that Carol herself is also interested.
As she was interviewed by This Morning’s ‘Coupon Queen’ Holly Jay-Smith, Carol, 62, was told that Pete wanted to be “one of her men”, to which she replied: “Yeah. Is that official now?” Sam relayed this to Pete during the podcast, who said: “Go on Vorders. Yes Carol - it’s official."
He added: “Carol, let me know when you're free, and I can't wait to [go on a date],” he said to the camera. “We can talk [about] maths - we can have a really good night on tequila and we can wake up in the morning and I can make you breakfast.” For the latest TV and showbiz news sign up to our newsletter here.

Carol has previously been outspoken about the fact that she prefers to have "special friends" rather than long-term relationships. Earlier this year she admitted that she has five "special friends" - read more about that here.
Pete’s interest in Carol comes following his exit from TOWIE earlier this year. He has since referred to the ITV2 reality show as a “place full of f**king snakes and s**t storylines”.
Pete teased the other projects that he has in the pipeline in an interview with The Daily Mirror. He said: “It's a different year for me, I've obviously taken a step back from TOWIE for a number of different reasons, the timing was right. I've got so much going on, I'm just about to start a brand-new TV project but it's going to be a very busy year.”
Carol, meanwhile, can currently be seen on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa. The next episode airs on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on Friday, May 5.
