Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks fought in the street for TOWIE
Much of British star Megan McKenna's career focus has been on her music, however her journey to the charts took some serious detours into reality television. As such, her stints on Celebrity Big Brother, Ex on the Beach, and The Only Way Is Essex have defined her more in the cultural zeitgeist than her turnes. On the latter show, her relationship (or demise thereof, rather) with co-star Pete Wicks became a major plot point on the show's 2017 season.
About a week after McKenna and Wicks' tear-filled split aired on TOWIE, the pair took the drama to the streets — literally, in what The Sun described as "an explosive row [that] threatened to turn violent." Although they were apparently shooting a scene for the reality series, things got so out of hand, production staffers eventually intervened and separated the exes, who were, at times, nose-to-nose, screaming at, and man-handling one another.
Although the reality stars just couldn't move past Wicks' texting scandal —Wicks was caught sending racy messages to model Jacqui Ryland during his time with McKenna — they did seem to end up on friendly terms. On a cute, if not slightly awkward run-in during a 2019 episode of Celebs Go Dating, they even exchanged a kiss and briefly flirted.
