Pete stunned telly fans when he announced his Towie exit last month and has since been focussed on projects with best pal and Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson.

He went on to make scathing comments about “fake f***s” starring on the show.

Asked if Pete would be welcomed back to the show, Chloe Brockett told The Sun: “I couldn’t imagine him coming back.

“I thought Pete was nice when I spoke to him, but he’s got different ideas about what he wants to do with his career so good luck to him.

“There’s no need to slag off a show that’s been good to you.”

Saffron Lempriere added: “I ain’t interested if he comes back.

“He can be a bit fickle. Wherever you go, [Towie’s] where you started.”

She then warned: “Let’s hope Sam Thompson stays close to him because he’s finished otherwise.”

Harry Derbidge insisted: “I was disappointed in how he spoke about the show.

“To disrespect the show that made you.. I think that’s wrong.”

Junaid Ahmed agreed, adding: “I never understand cast members who slate the show when they wouldn’t be anywhere without the show.”

Lothario Pete joined TOWIE in 2015 and became a regular in Season 15.

He was friends with co-star James Lock before appearing on the ITVBe show.

Insiders told The Sun he was acting as if he was “over” doing Towie and “above” the other stars.

He’s claimed to have blasted the cast as “fame-hungry and not very authentic”.

Pete, often dubbed Pirate Pete, told the Saving Grace podcast: “I don’t actually get on with all of the cast of the cast. Over the years a lot of people have refused to film with me.

“I am exactly the same off camera to on camera. The majority of them are not. Because they are all fake f***s.”

The Sun has reached out to Pete for comment.
