The pair met on the showbiz party circuit after make-up artist Samantha, 27, shot to fame on last summer’s series of the ITV dating show, where she coupled up with Joey Essex.

It comes days after it was revealed Pete’s best mate Sam Thompson was also seeing a former Islander — Samie Elishi.

A source said: “Pete and Samantha have gone on a few dates and have really hit it off.

"She’s got a wicked sense of humour and is absolutely gorgeous.”
