PETE Wicks has dropped major hints he's failed to find love again on Celebs Go Dating.
The TOWIE veteran, 34, dubbed himself "the Ian Beale of reality TV" – referring to the longstanding EastEnders soap character – as he branded his latest matchmaking stint a "f**king nightmare" in an exclusive chat with The Sun.
In a candid analysis of why he is still single, following his latest unexpected reunion with on-off ex Towie star Megan McKenna, he told us: "No f**ker will put up with me!
"I think it's because I believe in soulmates, marriage and kids and all that stuff.
"But I would rather stay on my own than settle for anything other than exactly what I feel like I want, if that makes sense?
"I believe in the fairy tale, I want the fairy tale. I just haven't had it yet."

Addressing why he signed up for E4 series Celebs Go Dating for the third time running, Pete said: "I'm 34, I'm still single so I need as much help as I can get.
