The romance between Pete and Jowita reportedly began a year before the pair allegedly smooch on stage.
Pete Wicks and his former Strictly dance partner Jowita Przystal have sent fans into overdrive with rumours they are dating.
Fans have long suspected that the pair, who are well-known for their electric chemistry on stage, have more than what they claimed. The Pete and Jowita passionately smoked three times last week on stage at London’s 02 Arena, adding to the heightened rumblings.
Now, a previously unseen moment suggests their potential romance and “intense connection” spans back even further than Strictly. In fact, the two were spotted getting close to each other before they had even been partnered together on the show.
Jowita surprised viewers by dropping into the O2 arena for a dance on Friday night (19 September) at a live performance of Pete’s podcast, Staying Relevant. The two kissed three times as the crowd roared to life as they moved to the beat.
A Daily Mail reporter has since revealed that this was not the first time he’d seen them “getting intimate”. In September 2024, just before Pete was due to make his Strictly debut, he attended the National Television Awards. There, he is reported to have told the Polish dancer that she looked “stunning” before continuing the conversation in a quiet corridor behind the stage.
“He couldn’t help but admire Jowita,” the reporter wrote. Pete is also said to have “placed a gentle hand” on her shoulder. However, shortly after that night, though the pair were spending a lot of time together in rehearsals, Pete started publicly dating former Love Islander Maura Higgins.
In February of this year, he and Maura broke up. A fan asked Maura where Pete was when she left, and she responded, “Probably cheating.”
The dancer has obviously persisted in his life even though this was after Strictly and Pete and Jowita’s partnership ended. His team assured the Daily Mail that nothing between them happened after the O2 kisses, and that nothing had changed. However, a Jowita friend refuted this and even claimed that the two were dating.
“She adores Peter and thinks he is an old-school charmer. Last month he took her on a date to see Oasis at Wembley, and that O2 performance was his idea,” they said. ” They are both free spirits and love having a lot of fun together. She knows exactly how to put a smile on his face and he does the same for her. Their connection is the real deal.”
When the source was asked about whether or not the two were just friends, they said: “ You don’t go snogging your friends. An certainly not three times.”

Even so, just before his steamy O2 performance, Pete was seen kissing a mysterious woman in Mayfair. The Towie singer addressed his reputation in his memoir and has previously been accused of being a commitment-hater. Most of that is true, he said, to be honest. I’ve got a fear of making a commitment, in all likelihood. It’s a common adage “abandonment, fear of people leaving”…
While Pete shared a video to his Instagram of him and pal Sam Thompson on stage at the O2, he doesn’t seem to have said anything about his dance with Jowita. She, on the other hand, took to the social media platform to thank Pete for “making my dream come true”.
“Massive thanks to everyone who attended, thank you for all your beautiful messages, your support is unquestionable.” And last but not least, Pete Wicks, who helped me achieve my dream.
