Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks ‘completely ignored each other’ and spent the night on ‘opposite sides of the room’ at a show afterparty.
The ex-couple attended Strictly professional dancers Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez’s Speakeasy Tour on Tuesday at London’s Adelphi Theatre but refused to even acknowledge each other at the celebrity event.
It was the first time the pair, who split up in February, had been in the same room since the BRIT Awards, where they also blanked each other at the music ceremony.
Former Love Island star Maura, 34, flew back from Coachella festival in Los Angeles to attend Karen and Gorka’s show, where Pete, 37, reunited with his ex-Strictly pro partner, Jowita Przystal, on the red carpet.
The night continued from the theatre show to a bar in Covent Garden but Maura and Pete, who both joined in on the festivities, ‘kept in different crowds’ and ‘didn’t even look in each other’s direction.’
Their breakup, which was exclusively revealed by MailOnline on Valentine’s Day, turned nasty after Maura falsely accused the TOWIE favourite of cheating on her.

A source revealed: ‘Maura and Pete certainly didn’t expect to be at the same theatre show and afterparty on Tuesday, but they mix in similar cycles, so it’s bound to happen on occasion.
‘They completely ignored each other the entire evening and refused to even exchange pleasantries, which clearly indicates that they ended on very bad terms.
‘No kind words were shared in the aftermath of their split and now the friendship that they once shared is completely over too.’

Dancers Kai Widdrington, Lauren Oakley, and Amy Dowden, were also in the audience at the final night of Karen and Gorka’s Speakeasy Tour.
Following Pete and Maura’s breakup, the former Islander remarked ‘Dunno, probably cheating’ when asked about her ex-partner as she enjoyed a night out wearing a red minidress on Valentine’s Day.
The jibe came as a shock to Pete, as friends close to the podcaster confirmed that he had never been unfaithful to Maura during their romance.
Their relationship saw the couple support each other during their respective appearances on last year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing, where Pete made it to the semifinal of the competition.

During his stint on the series, Pete reportedly ‘grew close’ to pro dancer Jowita as their onscreen chemistry became a talking point with BBC viewers.
A few weeks after Pete and Maura went their separate ways, the influencer was filmed sharing a kiss with married McFly singer Danny Jones at a BRITs afterparty.
On Wednesday, MailOnline revealed that Danny no longer has a ‘normal relationship’ with his model wife Georgia following the kissing scandal.
Danny, who shares six-year-old son Cooper with Georgia, reportedly partied with Maura until the early hours as they continued their BRIT Awards night at Nobu Hotel.
After temporarily moving out of their West London home, Georgia returned to the property so the couple could work through their problems in private.
The Voice judge publicly apologised to his wife and family for ‘putting them in this situation’ as sources told of how he was keen to make amends and move forward.
This week, an insider revealed that the couple are ‘living separate lives’ and friends fear their relationship is ‘hanging on by a thread.’
