Strictly’s Jowita fuels romance rumours with Pete Wicks as she makes very flirty comment

STRICTLY’S Jowita Przystał has fulled romance rumours with Pete Wicks after making a very flirty comment.

Jowita, 30 and Pete, 36, have been teasing fans about the nature of their relationship ever since they stepped foot on the iconic dancefloor.

They even shared a passionate kiss during a recent episode, sending viewers into a frenzy.

Now, the Polish dancer has sparked speculation once again with her remarks in a new video.

In a backstage clip shared on Strictly‘s Instagram account, Jowita playfully teased Pete about his bold look, joking, “I still think you should keep that outfit.”

The pair had just danced a Samba to the theme from George of the Jungle as part of the show’s Movie Week.

Towie legend Pete had been wearing a leopard print costume to match the film’stheme, showing off a lot of skin and highlighting his muscular physique.

Jowita also shared her pride for the hunk in the comments, posting a heart emoji and gushing: “So proud of you!!!! My king of the jungle!”

Strictly insiders have since revealed that their ballroom romance has been brewing behind the scenes ever since the pairing was made.

The Strictly source told The Mail On Sunday: “Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.

“The feeling is mutual from her side and things have definitely progressed between them. They are all over one another behind the scenes, in a way that a loved-up couple would be.’

“It appears that we may have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.

“The other contestants are really happy for them. They are always smiling. It’s lovely. It will certainly brighten up the show following the dreadful saga around Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington.”

Even Strictly judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas noticed the pair’s chemistry, and both commented on it in their critiques last week.

Vincent admitted you can fall in love quite quickly on the dancefloor, adding: “Pasha Kovalev got married to Rachel Riley.

“Gorka Marquez got married (to Gemma Atkinson). Flavia Cacace got married (to Jimi Mistry).

“They’re both absolutely gorgeous. If they’re both single and spending so much time together, then why not go for it?

“We’ve seen people from the show get married in the past.

“Maybe Pete and Jowita could follow in their footsteps?

“If you can fall in love while learning how to dance like a professional, there’s nothing better than that. I would love to see a good romance on the show this year.”

However, Pete had also been connected to Love Island icon  Maura.

The two insisted they were just friends, even after being photographed kissing in public in August.

However, on Monday, new images surfaced showing them being ‘all over each other’ while out at a London pub with their Strictly co-stars.
