PETE Wicks and Shelby Tribble stepped out together in coordinating suits at the launch of the new series of The Only Way Is Essex tonight.
The Towie star, 29, and his new 25-year-old girlfriend - who will be appearing on the show for the first time - looked closer than ever as they posed for cameras on the red carpet at the Chigwell event.
Shelby stood out in a bright pink suit - which featured cut-outs around her stomach - while Pete opted for a black suit.
They couldn't keep their hands off each other as they posed for the cameras at the event which also saw Chloe Sims, Lauren Pope and Georgia Kousoulou grace the red carpet.
It comes as the couple were spotted laughing while out on a date in Brentwood last week.
Pete let his long hair fall freely and dressed to impressed in a buttoned down white shirt and dark trousers. Shelby looked very busty in a sophisticated blue suit with a plunging neckline.
Their outing fell shortly after Pete's ex Megan McKenna was pictured kissing new beau 'Muggy' Mike Thalassitis yesterday in Tenerife.
Both exes seem smitten in their new relationships but it remains to seen if things will be civil in the new series of Towie.
Stunning brunette Shelby used to date Premier League footballer Danny Simpson.
Her addition to the Towie crew was a no-brainer as far as bosses were concerned.
A TV insider said: “Shelby is absolutely gorgeous and fits in perfectly with the cast.
She’s already very well-known on the Essex scene after living there for years – but is originally from Plymouth.
“Shelby made a name for herself after winning Miss Great Britain in 2014 before she briefly dated footballer Danny last year.
"In recent weeks she’s been getting close to Pete and mutual pals of the pair predict their romance will be filmed for the new series.”
