Amber Turner's urged TOWIE bosses to sack Pete Wicks
Pete Wicks has been embroiled in a feud with TOWIE co-stars Amber Turner and Dan Edgar.
And now fans of the hit ITVbe series have called for bosses to sack 30-year-old Pete Wicks from the reality show.
Speaking to The Sun, Pete said, "I've heard there's a petition to get me sacked for being a bully but I'm sorry to say I'm not going anywhere.
"I don't give a f**k if people who don't know me hate me. So long as my friends and family like me."
Pete added, "A lot happens off screen which the viewers don't see and it's easy to make an opinion without knowing the full history.
"I'm not going to say Amber likes to play the victim but when a large number of the group don't particularly warm to someone it is for valid reasons and there are tell tales signs about that person."
He also said, "It doesn't have anything to do with Dan. She's done a lot over the years which has alienated herself from a lot of the cast. She can be manipulative."
