Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks and Strictly Come Dancing pro Jowita Przystal seemed to confirm they are in a relationship with a steamy kiss on stage at London's O2. Pete and best pal, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here winner Sam Thompson were recording their Staying Relevant podcast live in the arena when Jowita joined them on stage to perform a racy dance routine with Pete. During their performance the pair kissed passionately three times indicating that they are a fully fledged couple. Video footage taken at the event shows the lingering kisses which drove the crowd wild.
Express.co.uk have contacted representatives for Pete Wicks and Jowita Przytal for comment.
Their show of affection came just one day before Jowita's partner for Strictly's new season is revealed as the 2025 series launches on Saturday September 20. Throughout the 2024 season, there were persistent rumours about a potential spark between Jowita and Pete Wicks, 36, after they were partnered together. Suggestions of a love triangle also surfaced as Pete had been romantically linked to I'm A Celebrity star Maura Higgins.
However in December last year it appeared the rumours may have been unfounded as it was claimed Jowita was actually dating fellow professional dancer Vito Coppola.
At the time a source told The Sun: "There have been several flings going on under the radar this year but people are talking behind the scenes.
"The chemistry on set is palpable. But Vito is very respectful of Jowita and has been trying to woo her all series.
"Now that her partner Pete Wicks is no longer around to distract her, Vito can finally take centre stage," they said.
However it appears Jowita's relationship status has now shifted and a source told the Mail Online: "Pete and Jowita are now an item, they've been dating for a few weeks.
"They kept things professional on Strictly, there was no crossover with Maura.
"But once Pete was single they grew close again and recently the relationship has blossomed into something more.
"You could tell something is going on between them during their routine - it was extremely raunchy and dance partners don't usually kiss quite like that."
