TOWIE star Pete Wicks has sparked romance rumours with his Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Jowita Przystal once again as fans are certain they are an item

Pete Wicks is still lapping up romance rumours with his Strictly Come Dancing co-star Jowita Przystał, almost a year since they hit the dance floor together. The TOWIE star quickly grew close to the professional dancer during their time on the BBC competition.

They were faced with rumours week after week following their saucy routines and undeniable connection. Pete even manage to make it all the way to the semi-finals, with the reality star crediting Jowita for changing his life.

Back in December, the TOWIE star left the competition after exceeding everyone’s expectations. At the time, he told Jowita the ‘ experience wouldn’t have been anything without her’.

However, Pete later shut down such rumours, telling Lorraine Kelly: “We’ve said from day one that we’re really good friends, but they just want to do what they want to do”.

Pete was said to be dating Love Island star Maura Higgins at the time, yet now their romance is over fans are still holding out hope for Jowita. The TV star did nothing but feed into the speculation as he posted a string of snaps from their time together on Strictly.

He included a steamy pose on the dancefloor, as well as a selfie in the back of a car and snaps from multiple night outs together. Alongside the post, Pete gushed: “It was never about dancing…it was about the person.

” Happy birthday @jowitaprzystal – I am so blessed and grateful to have you in my life. My pocket rocket. “He added a black love heart emoji to the post, which sent fans wild.

One said:” You two look like you belong together just saying. “Another added:” You Two. “Someone else commented:” We were always team Pete and Jowita! “

A fourth wrote:” Come on Pete you’re getting on a bit now. Time to find the one. You two are]fire emojis]. “Another gushed:” WAIT IS THIS A HARD LAUNCH???? “

Last month, Pete revealed just how much Jowita means to him as he shared how their relationship is still blossoming off the show”. A lot of that]making it to the semi-finals] if I’m totally honest, is down to Jowita, “he said.

” She was the best partner I could have had… she’s become one of the most important in my life. She’s one of my best mates, and I adore her. She had to put up with me, she dragged me through it, because it certainly wasn’t the dancing. “

“I didn’t take myself too seriously but I took the show really seriously, and I took the process really seriously, I took the learning really seriously,” he told Mail Online. “I didn’t really enjoy learning things, and that was my favourite part of the whole thing.”

Following his exit from Strictly, Pete poured his heart out on social media as he wrote:” This experience wouldn’t have been anything without Jowita. She believed in me since the first day and never stopped.

“She supported me, listened to me, made me laugh and cry but most of all she made me believe in myself when I didn’t think I could do it.

” We did everything our way, and for me that was the right way. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t get you to a final, I tried my best and you deserve to be there. The show may have ended for us but one thing won’t, you will always have a friend in me. “

Charlie Brooker, who created the smash-hit Netflix series The Black Mirror, has shared his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence as its use increases

Screenwriter and TV host Charlie Brooker believes cinema fans will one day be able to appear in the movies they watch as part of the ticket price thanks to AI.

The Black Mirror creator is known for his dark stories on screen which sometimes predict the future.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival he said fans may become part of films and you may also be able to choose new lead stars in old classic films, with Charlie amusingly offering up the idea of “Lorraine Kelly in Die Hard”.

Asked about AI in the TV industry, possibly even providing scripts or things to watch on screen, Charlie said: “I have to believe that people want audiences, want humans communicating with them, not just the machine. So I kind of have to believe that you’re always going to want the messy human in the mix. I can see sort of the value as maybe as an analytical tool.

“A much cleverer a writer than me said to me the execs will take our script, feed them into AI sit down and watch a video, a rough video preview of it. I could sort of see that felt plausible to me, so that basically the script becomes a prompt, and then you get notes on that which worries me, I hope we will be keeping keyboards warm with flesh.”

Going onto discuss film and cinema, he added: “I had an idea once, which I think is now close to possible, say there’s 200 people going to a cinema. You go in and on the way it scans up your face, and then you sit down, you watch the film, and it’s cast the film randomly, with the members of the actual audience there. And you can do this with old films.

“So imagine if you went to see Raiders Of The Lost Ark and you don’t know if you’re going to be the Indiana Jones or a Nazi.

“I can imagine a lot of AI generated imaging kind of remix of two things so you can be like ‘ok I want to watch Die Hard with Lorraine Kelly.”

Charlie said he has recently tried to use Chat GPT to help him with a computer game but all the advice had been wrong and he has “wasted an hour”. Charlie also teased an upcoming announcement about a new and “very different” project which he expects to announce in the next few days.

He spoke about how understanding Netflix had been about him satirising subscription models in Black Mirror episode Common People, starring Rashida Jones.

“I would love to say that I stormed into a boardroom and went: ‘This must happen.’ No, they’ve been very up for that sort of thing,” he said.

Brooker said he was fortunate in being able to cast actors, including Paul Giamatti, in the anthology drama, but said he still regularly writes “begging letters” to try to land other big names. He added that most consider Black Mirror a fun gig. “It’s exciting because you’re not bored, and you don’t have familiarity breeding contempt,” he said.

You can also take the opportunity to pick up some personalised pieces too, which are great for either giving as a unique gift to loved ones or for yourself as a meaningful piece you can wear every day. From initial necklaces like the Personalised Initial &amp, Droplet Birthstone Necklace to the designer inspired Clover Custom Name Bracelet, there’s plenty of picks to create a totally bespoke design.

You could also pair the clover bracelet with the matching Pearl Clover Necklace which has a huge 60% off, slashing the price from £79 to £31.60 Other huge discounts include 50% off the Figaro Chain Bracelet which is perfect for everyday wear, and the Green Quartz Heart Huggie Earrings which are now £35.40 with 40% off.

Almost every single piece of Abbott Lyon jewellery comes in either sterling silver or 18k gold-plated stainless steel, with some rose gold options thrown in for good measure. Each piece is also treated with an anti-tarnish coating and is water, sweat and heat-resistant, so you can wear them all year round whether you’re sweating during a workout, swimming laps in the pool or wrapped up against the frosty weather.

Abbott Lyon isn’t the only brand to have launched an end of season sale, either. Major celeb influences are currently being reduced by PRYA by up to 50% off everything, including initial necklaces and personalised name bracelets.

Bohomoon also held its biggest ever £10 sale, which sees almost 70% off some items. Jenna Ortega recently wore the exact pair of earrings in the sale, which is now £10 less than the original £28 purchase.

However, you can now purchase the enormous end-of-summer sale to shop Stacey’s style if you want to shop her collection, which includes several pieces she contributed to design and were included in her collection with Abbott Lyon.

DJ and presenter Vick Hope has taken to social media to share a series of unseen pictures of her newborn baby, Micah, whom she welcomed with her husband Calvin Harris last month

Vick Hope has delighted fans as she shared unseen snaps of her baby boy to celebrate his first month.

Vick and her husband Calvin Harris shared the news with fans last month that they had welcomed their son, Micah Nwosu Wiles, on July 20. And now Vick has given fans a rare insight into her newborn bubble by sharing a slideshow of touching photos on Instagram – including a photograph of her in an inflatable birthing tub, a print of her placenta and much more.

Giving fans a glimpse at her blissful family life, a photo in the carousel shows the Radio 1 DJ and new mum, 35, cradling her tot while wearing a bikini and white shirt in the Ibiza sunshine. The touching image sees Vick looking besotted with her bundle of joy. Meanwhile, another photo featured in the selection of snaps shows dad Calvin having a cuddle with his newborn son on the sofa, which Calvin shared to announce the arrival of his son last month.

While another photo shows Vick’s proud parents with her newborn grandson, the pair are smiling widely while Vick’s dad George holds the tot and Vick’s mum Adeline looking lovingly at her grandson.

As Vick shared the snaps on her Instagram page, she wrote: “Our beloved baby boy Micah Nwosu Wiles completed his journey to us on Sunday 20th July in a beautiful, powerful home birth here in Ibiza, surrounded by love and nature and chickens.”

She added in the caption: “Emerging from our little newborn bubble to say happy first month Micah, you are magical and we are so utterly besotted with you.”

After their son’s birth Calvin, the 41-year-old producer and DJ, announced the news by sharing a picture of the placenta on social media, alongside images which seem to show the organ being turned into pills.

He wrote in the caption: “20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.”

Several famous friends commented on Vick’s post this week, including AJ Odudu who said: “Big Mic! What a delight. Congratulations again.” Pixie Lott commented: “So lovely congratulations aaa!!!!” and Arielle Free said: “Wee goosebumps seeing this! I hope you’re all on cloud 9 enjoying all the love together.”

Sophie Ellis Bextor said: “This looks so idyllic and I love the imprint of the afterbirth. Congratulations to you all! Welcome, Micah xx.” Katie Piper, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Fleur East, Anna Williamson, Matt Baker, and Bobby Norris also offered congratulations to the new mum.

Vick and Calvin live together on his Ibiza farm in Spain, called Terra Masia, which is known for being the island’s largest organic farm. The couple tied the knot in 2023 with a festival-style wedding at Hulne Priory in Alnwick, Northumberland, but had known each other for years. In fact, Vick revealed that Calvin had asked her out for the first time in 2007 – but said that she had rejected him at the time.

She later opened up to You Magazine: “It’s something that we laughed about on our first proper date. We still laugh about it now.” In 2022, they were spotted together in public for the first time and rumours began to fly that the pair were engaged.

Vick told Hello Magazine at the time that privacy was important to her and that the interest in her relationship was overwhelming. She said: “I’ve never really experienced this before about my private life, but it’s just for us.”
