Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson enjoy a boozy night out at a strip club before stumbling home at 4am

Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks enjoyed a very boozy night out in London as they were caught stumbling into a taxi home at 4am on Wednesday night. 

The Staying Relevant podcasters were seen partying the night away with their production staff - starting at Quaglino's in Mayfair in for a Christmas works night out. 

Former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 32, and the former TOWIE actor, 36, then moved the party from Mayfair to Soho where they partied away in strip club Stringfellows. 

Sam appeared ecstatic to be celebrating the night as he was happily chatting away to his staff before embracing his best friend Pete with a hug in the street. 

Yet he kept the evening a touch more sensible than his pal as he was seen leaving the club at 2am, alone, rather than with Pete and their colleagues at 4am. 

Both of the reality stars looked handsome for their glitzy night out as they sported a pair of black suits.

When Pete decided his evening in central London was coming to a close, he was seen stumbling into a cab with another woman, believed to be a part of his staff and another man. 

His outing to the gentleman's club comes after he revealed the reason why he hasn't settled down. 

Appearing on his Staying Relevant podcast earlier this month, alongside guest Olivia Attwood, the former TOWIE star admitted he's struggled to keep long term relationships.

Pete - who has been linked to I'm A Celebrity star Maura Higgins - asked Olivia: 'Someone has asked if you have any dating advice for me?'

He went on to say: 'I do feel like I'm now at a different stage of my life. I'm an older man now than when I was younger and a complete p***k.'

'Pete's never had any problem getting the women,' Olivia explained, before Pete chimed in with: 'It's keeping them!' 

Pete's previous girlfriends include Megan McKenna, Shelby Tribble and Chloe Sims.

Olivia clarified: 'You don't keep them out of your own choice. I feel like it's because you for so long have not let anyone in. You like your own space, you like to be with your dogs at home and your beer, it's quite a sad scene really actually.'

'It is a little bit of a sad existence,' Pete jokingly admitted, seemingly ready to finally let someone into his life.

'You need to let someone in but it needs to be the right person,' instructed Olivia, to which the Strictly star responded:'I don't want to die alone' 

'No and you should not, you probably need to move fast because you've only got a few years,' joked Olivia.

In September, Pete told The Times magazine: 'I'm nearly 36. I want to get married and have kids. I've been blessed with so many opportunities, but what's the point if I can't share them with anyone?

'Right now, I'm not ready to wholeheartedly commit to a romantic relationship because I don't fully understand myself yet.'

During her time on I'm A Celeb Maura seemingly confirmed that she was dating the Strictly star after they were seen kissing a few weeks before she headed down under.

When asked by Oti Mabuse whether or not she was single, Maura replied: 'I am but I was seeing someone before I came in but I'm not in a relationship.'

Reverend Richard then asked: 'Was it exclusive? Or if I've put you on the spot, sorry!', to which she replied after a long pause: 'I dunno'.

And appearing on This Morning last Friday she shared her excitement to see Pete and admitted he had been so supportive.

She confessed: 'Honestly he's been so supportive. I didn't know if he was still in Strictly, I'm so proud of him and he's proud of me and I can't wait to see him.'

Alison then cheekily asked if he could be a bridesmaid at the pair's wedding - with Maura giggling before agreeing to the request: 'Yes, you can be a bridesmaid Alison.'

During I'm A Celeb Maura revealed that the pair had known each other for longer than fans might expect - and said Pete had pursued her relentlessly.

'Yeah, we've known each other since five years and never once..." she told Oti.

'He would always say, "Oh no, like, we are gonna go on a date somewhere." And I'd be like, "We're actually not." And I was deadly serious, "We're actually not. You're delusional."'

When asked why she eventually changed her mind, Maura explained: 'He wouldn't give up. And then I was like, "Oh fine".
