Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks have slammed Chloe Sims as "nasty".
Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks
The reality TV couple have hit out at their 'The Only Way is Essex' co-star after she branded their romance "toxic" and hinted they only rekindled their relationship for a 'TOWIE' storyline.
Megan said: "She doesn't know us. If people are your true friends on the show or not, they will never say nasty things like that."
Pete added: "I didn't realise she'd said that. That's a bit of a nasty thing to say because she knows how hurt I was and how bad I felt at the time."
Their comments come after Chloe recently insisted nobody "cares" about their romance and urged them to keep things "private" this time around.
She said: "No one really cares about them getting back together - they need to try and keep it a little more to themselves this time.
"People aren't really bothered which way it goes. I hope this time round their relationship isn't as toxic - I wish them luck and I guess we will see."
The couple split earlier this year but have since got back together, and Pete insists their relationship is now stronger than ever.
In a joint interview with OK! magazine, he said: "We had a good break apart. Although we saw each other on nights out, it was just trying our best to be civil.
"But since getting back together it's been like a new relationship. It's the beginning."
Megan added: "We went to Vegas for a secret getaway, which wasn't secret after we got pictured on the first day.
"We wanted to go away without anyone's opinions and just enjoy ourselves. When we were there, I think that was the point when we realised it was going to work properly because we had such a good time."
