TV star Pete Wicks has found himself in hot water after former MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers issued a fierce warning, accusing him of messaging his ex-partner and the mother of his children, Talia Oatway.
Chalmers, 37, took to social media with a direct and aggressive message for the For Dogs’ Sake presenter, saying: “Let’s pray we don’t come face to face, because I’ll take your [bleep]ing head clean off.” Although the post was later deleted, the message left no room for doubt.
He continued to vent, blasting Pete for what he claims are flirtatious messages to Talia. “So messaging my baby mom is clever? Giving it big man ting to the mother of my kids trying to get a ride?” he wrote.
Despite the drama, sources close to Talia reportedly confirmed she’s never had a romantic relationship with Wicks, and that any messages were friendly in nature and sent some time ago.
Meanwhile, Pete, 36, has stayed silent on the accusations, instead focusing on his recent projects. Having competed in Strictly Come Dancing last year, Pete has since returned to TV screens with his emotional dog rescue series For Dogs’ Sake, which was recently renewed for two more seasons and a Christmas special.
He’s also launched a new podcast titled Man Made, where he discusses modern masculinity. Many viewers have likened him to the late Paul O’Grady, but Pete humbly rejected the comparison. “He was an idol of mine. No one can replace Paul,” he said. “But this is a passion project. Being around animals makes me feel at peace.”
