The 26-year-old shared a post on Instagram which read: “If you tell me to relax while I’m angry I will stab you in the next with a knife [sic].”

Newcomer Pete added: “#TrueSay #WednesdayFeels [sic].”

His inappropriate post was swiftly deleted, and bosses of the ITVBe reality show confirmed they’ve spoken to Pete about it.

It comes after shamed Dan Osborne was heard threatening his ex-girlfriend in leaked audio clips.

The Sun published the shocking tapes, which heard Dan telling Megan, 22, who is the mother of his one-year-old son Teddy, he would stab her if she went with another man – despite him being in a relationship with a then-pregnant Jacqueline Jossa.

Disgraced Dan was permanently axed from TOWIE as a result of the threats, although he has insisted ‘there are two sides to every story’.

Sticking with the violent theme, Gemma Collins recently defended 23-year-old Dan’s actions – claiming death threats were ‘normal’ for Essex boyfriends.

She told the Mirror: “Death threats? Yeah, that’s Essex boys for you. I’ve had boyfriends say to me if I ever leave them they will kill me.

“He was never going to kill her and I think he deserves to make a comeback to the show.”
