Pete Davidson has reportedly irritated his Saturday Night Live co-stars by ‘acting like a diva’ and ‘missing rehearsals’ to hang out with girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
The comedian, 28, has been inseparable from the mother-of-four, 41, since she hosted the show back in October, but it appears their romance has started to affect his work on the sketch show.
It’s said that the SNL cast are ‘starting to turn on him’ after he broke a few rules on the show so as to spend time with Kim.

Pete made an appearance on the show alongside Ariana DeBose last Saturday despite missing a few days of rehearsals – which is reportedly not allowed.
A source told The Sun: ‘Pete has become a total diva at SNL. He missed the first few days of rehearsal last week and was still allowed to be in Saturday’s show.
‘Normally, if you miss any rehearsals, you are out of the show on Saturday night, and the cast is starting to turn on him.’
And an insider added to the publication that it’s not just Pete’s on-set actions that haven’t gone down well with his fellow comedians, but his outside behaviour as well.

The source added: ‘He also now has security for when he’s outside the building. Colin [Jost] married an actual movie star [Scarlett Johansson] and yet Pete is getting more attention.’
MailOnline have contacted Pete’s representatives for comment.
It comes as Pete is reportedly amused by Kanye West‘s lyrical threats after he rapped about beating the comedian’s ‘a**’ in a recently released track.
‘Pete thinks it’s totally hilarious,’ a source alleged to Page Six on Wednesday.
The TV star has been romantically linked to West’s ex wife Kim since they shared a kiss during her Saturday Night Live hosting gig back in October.

In a song titled Easy, which was leaked last week, the 44-year-old hitmaker can be heard rapping, ‘God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.’
The song is said to also feature rapper The Game, and fans have speculated that it will appear on Kanye’s upcoming Donda 2 album.
Page Six’s source also claimed that Pete is equally amused by the hoopla surrounding his budding relationship with Kim, 41.
‘Not just that — he thinks the whole [tabloid drama with him, West and Kardashian] is hilarious. He loves it.

‘It’s funny to him that the press wants to know his every move all of a sudden.’
Despite Kanye’s best efforts, the rapper’s diss track and recent drama with his ex-wife has reportedly only strengthened Pete and Kim’s bond.
‘The whole craziness with Kanye last week has brought Kim and Pete closer,’ the source claimed.
