Jake's tenure on TOWIE was mostly defined by his on-again, off-again romance with Chloe Lewis and his suspected infidelity on her. In an emotional session on a park bench, he eventually (sort of) admitted to doing the dirty with Megan McKenna. However, this wasn't the first time he'd been caught out by Chloe - she saw him kissing another woman during his stint on Marriage Lines. Pete Wicks was born on 16th February 1984 in Northampton, England. He was raised by his single mother after his father walked out when he was just two years old. To make ends meet, his mom worked several jobs including one at Tesco where she met another employee, Alfie Moon. The two men fell in love and got married but it didn't last long as Pete's mother had other ideas about who she wanted her son to marry. Soon after, they divorced and his mother moved with her son to Portugal where they would live for several years. When Pete turned 18, he decided to move back to Britain and look for work. It wasn't easy since he didn't have any qualifications or experience but he managed to find a job as an assistant manager at a Hooters restaurant. Within a few months, he was promoted to head chef which meant he wouldn't have to work so hard anymore. However, things went wrong when the owner of the restaurant was charged with sexual harassment toward some of his employees.
