Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks have slammed Chloe Sims as "nasty".
The reality TV couple have hit out at their ‘The Only Way is Essex’ co-star after she branded their romance "toxic" and hinted they only rekindled their relationship for a ‘TOWIE’ storyline.
Megan said: "She doesn’t know us. If people are your true friends on the show or not, they will never say nasty things like that."
Pete added: "I didn’t realise she’d said that. That’s a bit of a nasty thing to say because she knows how hurt I was and how bad I felt at the time."
Their comments come after Chloe recently insisted nobody "cares" about their romance and urged them to keep things "private" this time around.
She said: "No one really cares about them getting back together – they need to try and keep it a little more to themselves this time.
"People aren’t really bothered which way it goes. I hope this time round their relationship isn’t as toxic – I wish them luck and I guess we will see."
The couple split earlier this year but have since got back together, and Pete insists their relationship is now stronger than ever.
In a joint interview with OK! magazine, he said: "We had a good break apart. Although we saw each other on nights out, it was just trying our best to be civil.
"But since getting back together it’s been like a new relationship. It’s the beginning."
Megan added: "We went to Vegas for a secret getaway, which wasn’t secret after we got pictured on the first day.
"We wanted to go away without anyone’s opinions and just enjoy ourselves. When we were there, I think that was the point when we realised it was going to work properly because we had such a good time."
