Strictly Come Dancing fans think they’ve spotted ‘latest romance’ already-Pierra Willix-Entertainment – Metro

Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal are continuing to fuel romance rumours after the pair put on several flirty displays.

The Towie star, 35, is competing on the current season of the long-running BBC series, being partnered with the 30-year-old pro dancer.

Each year discussions around the Strictly curse come up, as well as speculation about what celebrities and dancers could be connecting on a more personal level.

Last year eventual winners Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola were at the centre of rumours throughout their time on the show.

Now Pete and Jowita’s amorous displays have left many commenting on their ‘chemistry’.

After sharing a series of snaps together on social media over the past week, the pair then made a cosy appearance on It Takes Two earlier this week, where Pete said Jowita ‘makes me really happy every day’.

They went on to speak on his podcast with Sam Thompson, Staying Relevant, where the reality star also gushed about his dance partner.

‘Jowita is just – I could not have got a better partner,’ he smiled.

‘I can’t sit here and go “she’s my life” – we don’t know each other that well. But what I do know is that she makes me feel good.

‘And that is really important and hopefully I make her feel good and that’s a really nice place to be, you know what I mean?’

In a clip shared on social media that was taken during the recording, Sam poked fun at the dance partners and how Pete was paying more attention to Jowita.

‘He’s not even looking at me. He’s looking at his dance partner in the eyes,’ he declared, staring into the camera shaking his head.

Meanwhile Pete and Jowita smiled and scrunched their noses while Sam looked somewhat left out.

Ahead of their It Takes Two appearance, Jowita also shared photos of them looking cosy, with Pete posing with his arm around her waist while she kicked her leg in the air.

In another photo, Pete used her hair to mimic a moustache.

They were quickly flooded with comments from fans who noticed how well the pair, who met a few weeks ago, already got on.

‘Look great together soooo good,’ Annette shared.

‘The latest strictly romance me thinks x’ Rachel wrote.

‘I know I shouldn’t say this, but you guys have major chemistry,’ Hannah added.

During his time on Towie, Pete acquired a reputation for being quite the playboy, with the turbulence of his relationships well documented, most notably his romance with co-star Megan McKenna from 2016 to 2017.

Pete, who is currently single, recently admitted that he ‘doesn’t fully understand’ himself yet, at least not enough to commit to a long-term relationship.

He 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.’

Although Pete said he would ‘love to find a wife’, it was a possibility he ‘may end up one of those men who dies alone’.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6.15pm on BBC One.
