The pair had a secret fling that was revealed on the reality show, but Chloe decided to leave the relationship on last year's Christmas TV special.

And now the tattooed hunk has revealed many of their co-stars have seemingly taken Chloe's side and removed him from their Instagram.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Pete said: "Chloe and I haven't seen each other or spoken at all.

“She has unfollowed me on social media as have half the cast.

“Chloe unfollowed me, her sisters Demi and Frankie have unfollowed me and apparently Tommy and Georgia have, too.

“I don't have a clue why. I didn't even know they had until someone told me."

The 32-year-old reality star insisted it might be that they are just fed up of seeing him mess around with his pal Sam Thompson - who he's had a bromance with since appearing on 'Celebs Go Dating' in 2018 - or it's "something deeper", but he's not bothered what anyone else thinks about him and Chloe.

He continued: “It could just be they are sick of seeing me being a d*** on Instagram with Sam Thompson all the time or it could be something a lot deeper.

“That's their choice. They can do what they want. I don't have a problem with anyone.

“What I will say is that the only people who can really have an opinion on me and Chloe are ‘me and Chloe’. Other people don't know what happened so f*** them.”

Chloe, 38, previously admitted she may have "smothered" Pete during their secret romance.

Opening up about their split, she said last year: "I started to paint a bad version of Pete in my head. I questioned whether I even knew who he was as a person.

"I do think I know who Pete is as a person now but I still have days when I question it.

"We have talked until our ears bleed about the situation to try and understand the other person's point of view but it's still not working."
