As a longtime Strictly Come Dancing enthusiast who has watched every waltz, tango, and samba since its inception, I must say that the news about the cancellation of the Official Podcast leaves me with a twirl of emotions. Having followed Joe Sugg and Kim Winston’s insightful discussions and behind-the-scenes chats, it felt like being part of the Strictly family.


Pete Wicks, a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, and his dance partner Jowita Przystal were seen beaming as they showed up for practice sessions, fueling speculations about their romantic relationship.

On Wednesday, the pair were caught on camera entering a dance studio to practice their act for the live performance taking place this coming Saturday.

As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! Pete and Jowita are about to dazzle us with a Quickstep choreographed to “A Town Called Malice” by The Jam. This TV personality shared on Instagram that this week has been his toughest yet, but knowing their passion and skill, I can’t wait to see them shine!

But the technical routine didn’t appear to dampen his spirits as he arrived sported a huge grin while wearing a pair of black trousers, with a white low-cut vest and knitted cardigan.

As I ventured out towards my rehearsals during the chilly winter season, I dressed much like Jowita, donning flared pants and a cozy white knit sweater, with a spacious black parka draped on top for added warmth.

Speculation about a romantic relationship between the reality TV personality and his dancing partner Jowita has been growing, following allegations that he’s deeply smitten with her.

On Monday, Jowita was overflowing with praise for her partner, as they advanced to week four of the contest, which took place during the movie-themed weekend on Saturday.

On Instagram, Jowita praised the TOWIE star as ‘incredible’, expressing gratitude for the ongoing backing from fans.

She wrote: ‘And we are through to another week. Can’t thank you enough for all your support! Your love and kindness means a world to us. We cannot wait to start another week x

‘@p_wicks01 you gave it all last night, your hard work and commitment is unbelievable x.’

As a die-hard admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: “Instead of saying ‘George must be lucky,’ I’d say ‘Ursula is incredibly fortunate to dance with George.’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve got an intriguing scoop to share: It seems the atmosphere is buzzing backstage at the BBC One dance show, as word on the street is that the pair have fallen head over heels for each other!

As a hopelessly devoted admirer, I can’t help but share this intriguing tidbit: It seems like a well-kept secret among the inner circle of the cast and team that, following their pairing in August, they have developed feelings for each other.

One said: ‘Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.

From her perspective as well, there’s clearly advancement in their relationship. They exhibit affectionate behaviors discreetly, reminiscent of a smitten pair.

On Wednesday, both Tasha Ghouri and her dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec were additionally seen entering rehearsals.

Tasha donned a vibrant appearance in an oversized, sunny yellow trench coat, teamed with beige jogging pants and a cozy knit sweater.

She also sported a white cap as she wheeled her suitcase into the training room. 

While Aljaz was stylishly dressed, he donned a long, dogtooth-patterned coat, paired with loose-fitting black pants and a crisp white t-shirt.

The rehearsal snaps come after Strictly Come Dancing: The Official Podcast was axed by the BBC.

The company has verified to OK! that the podcast, which has been discussing every season since 2019, will not make a comeback in this current year.
