Chatting to BFF Sam Thompson on a recent episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, Pete Wicks discussed how he has competition in the form of a Love Island contestant and you will never ever guess who.

Just try and think of the most calm, cool and collected Islander ever to have existed and you MIGHT be onto something.

The TOWIE star was quizzed by Sam who he thinks his enemy is in the world of celebrity as apparently "everyone's got a nemesis".

Pete was bemused by the situation but the ex-Made in Chelsea star was more than happy to reveal who he thinks his pal needs to watch out for.

"I know exactly whose yours is," he teased in classic Sam style, barely keeping it together as he told Pete with a laugh, "Ovie Soko."

Cue cursing from the Essex lad who swore, "Oh for f**ks sake."

We are thinking the exact same thing, how is Ovie anybody nemesis? But in a hilarious rant Pete went on to squash the rumours and declared, "He's not a nemesis because we are not in the same stratosphere.

"He's an ambassador for Hugo Boss and went to the GQ f**king party and I'll be honest with you, I was dressed as an elf on Monday."

It turns out that Pete and Ovie do however share the same agent and while Ovie is attending awards ceremonies and working with fashion designers, Pete is told that "Asda Price want you to slap your arse."

Oh, Pete you might not be working with Christian Dior but there's always going to be Celebs Go Dating.
