Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal spark romance rumours as Strictly fans convinced pair are an item after ‘hard launch’ on social media

by

Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal frequently ignited speculations about a romantic relationship while they were paired up on Strictly Come Dancing the previous year.

Now, supporters of the BBC program believe that the ex-TOWIE celebrity, aged 36, and the talented ballroom dancer, 31, might be in a relationship. This assumption arises due to Pete sharing multiple pictures from their time spent together on his Instagram account on Friday.

In the collection of photos, Pete added a sizzling dance floor picture, a selfie taken up close inside a car, a shot from one of their rehearsals, and multiple snaps capturing their evenings out together.

Alongside the post, the star gushed: ‘It was never about dancing…it was about the person. 

Happy Birthday, Jowita Przystal! I feel incredibly fortunate and thankful to have you as part of my life. You are truly a spark in my life (with a heart symbol).

I really, really hope that she is the one you’re in love with.

Oh, I’m absolutely smitten! It feels like it’s her, my heart skips a beat every time I think of her (heart-eyes emoji). Here’s to hoping it’s her you adore too. Now, if only I could find out for sure – she’s the question burning in my mind!

‘You two look like you belong together just saying.’; ‘We were always team Pete and Jowita!’ 

Six months following his split with Maura Higgins, Pete finally confessed that he has fallen in love with a new, intriguing female figure.

A star from The Only Way is Essex was compelled to declare his affection on the Staying Relevant podcast, which he co-hosts with his longtime friend Sam Thompson (aged 33).

They administered a lie detector test to him, where he was connected to a polygraph machine while Sam asked him a sequence of questions.

Sam asked: ‘Are you in love with somebody right now?’

As Pete asserted “no,” the skeptical polygraph examiner signaled with a shake of his thumb, suggesting deceit – prompting him to playfully flirt with his budding relationship.

An excited Sam said: ‘Ahhh, I knew it! And that’s all we’re going to say.’

When queried about his deceit, Pete confessed, “I can’t explain, it simply popped into my mind, it was a blatant falsehood.

Overwhelmed by the news, Sam nearly leapt from his chair exclaiming, “Someone has captured Pete’s heart! Track her down! Trace her steps!

‘Pete’s in love secretly, and I think I know who it is.’

Pete said, “You are fully aware of who it is. I just shared the entire tale with you, and she hasn’t responded.

The reality star, clearly upset, exclaimed, “What’s the reason for including that item? It wasn’t part of the list at all!

Despite Sam’s excitement, no further details – including the mystery woman’s name – were revealed.

An uncomfortable Pete asked: ‘Are we f****** done with me now?’

Pete’s past relationship with Maura concluded amidst claims of infidelity, but as of now, there is no confirmation about him being involved in a new romantic relationship.

Last August, Pete and Maura were rumored to be a couple, but they parted ways in February. Later on, Maura was spotted locking lips with Danny Jones from McFly during the BRIT Awards.

During that period, Pete chose to avoid the turmoil by taking a prearranged lavish vacation to Dubai, as previously planned.

According to a source, Pete has already moved past Maura and isn’t interested in the recent commotion involving her. He seems to feel quite neutral about it all.

‘He is focusing on himself and enjoying a break in the sun before getting back into work.’

Pete lodged at The Lana hotel, which marks Dorchester Collection’s debut in the Middle East, offering accommodation from £730 a night.
