CHLOE Sims broke down in tears as Pete Wicks revealed his tattoo tribute in honour of her 40th birthday.
The sweet moment was teased at the end of tonight’s instalment of The Only Way Is Essex, with the full scene set to unfold in the next episode.
The long-haired hunk appeared to miss Chloe’s birthday bash, but more than made up for it when they met up for a private dinner.
He coyly tells her: “I didn’t really know what to get you for your birthday… I might have got a tattoo.”
Chloe is clearly floored by the gesture, dabbing her eyes with a napkin and breaking down in tears as she exclaims: “Oh my god, that’s so nice!”
Unfortunately, viewers will need to tune in next time to see the new ink in all its glory.
Chloe and Pete’s relationship status has been keeping fans on their toes ever since it was revealed last year that they’d secretly been sleeping together for two years.
Their on/ off romance met an upsetting end when Chloe was left hurt Pete had shared details of their antics.
The former best pals didn’t speak for months after their fallout, but reunited over the summer.
They’ve since set tongues wagging that they are back together as they are regularly seen cosying up – including a very sweet display at the National Television Awards.
However, they have insisted that they are just friends – though Chloe said she has “no regrets” about what happened between them in the past.
