Aisleyne Horgan Wallace has claimed that Pete and Nikki’s relationship since leaving the big brother house has all been a sham so that they could “make a kill” on their re-emergance.

After reports that Pete had ended things this week, Aisleyne admitted: ‘As soon as I heard they split up it came as no shock to me, no surprise.

‘[Pete] deserves someone who wants him for him and not who he is,’ ITN reports her as saying.

She added: ‘She had the opportunity to go outside the house and see how popular he was and then come back in and make a kill. I’m glad Pete got out before he got hurt.’

Sticking the knife in further, when asked about Nikki’s new show, Princess Nikki, Aisleyne said: ‘It’s not entertainment to me. Sorry, I’m a busy girl I’ve got things to do I can’t be sitting at home watching Nikki crying.’
