Maura Higgins cosies up to Pete Wicks on Strictly night out amid Jowita romance rumours
Strictly Come Dancing favourite Pete Wicks cosied up to former Love Island star Maura Higgins and looked as though they were 'more than friends' during a night out in London amid Jowita Przystał romance rumours
Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins were spotted looking cosy at a London pub after his latest performance with professional dance partner Jowita Przystał on Saturday night.
The two reality TV favourites enjoyed a night out together just one month after they were spotted sharing an intimate kiss during a boozy lunch in London.
Despite the fact Pete, 36, and Maura, 34, have always insisted that they are just very close friends, onlookers reportedly revealed that the pair looked like the 'perfect couple' as they cosied up together after Pete's sizzling dance with Jowita, 30, which has led to romance rumours.
Former TOWIE star Pete appeared to kiss his Strictly Come Dancing partner during their latest performance on the BBC One show as things heated up on the famous dance floor. However, he then headed out on the town with Maura as onlookers claimed they looked like they were 'more than just friends'.

"They were chatting to Pete's co-star Wynne Evans and it was very clear they were more than just friends. Things have clearly turned romantic as they were all over each other," a source told The Sun. "At one point she ran her hands through his hair under his hat, and they were cuddling loads too. They looked really cosy and comfortable with each other."
It comes amid rumours that Pete is getting close to his professional dance partner, Jowita. Pete's best friend Sam Thompson recently claimed that Pete is "in love" with his Strictly partner, before quickly backtracking on his comment.
Made in Chelsea cast member Sam has been supporting pal Pete, 36, as he embarks on his Strictly journey, sitting in the audience for the former TOWIE star in his first live performance last Saturday. But when he was quizzed on Pete's chemistry with the professional dancer, Sam let slip that he thinks there's a connection between the two.
Speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on This Morning, Sam opened up about his best mate's relationship with the 30-year-old Polish dancer. When they quizzed him, he said: "I think they are in love," but he quickly added that he actually thinks their relationship is platonic. But digging a deeper hole, Sam said: "He cares about her so much, the way he looks at her, I've never seen it before. I just want to see him happy, he is one of the best people I know."
However, Sam isn't the first to notice that there is a spark between the pair, who have been partnered up on the 20th anniversary of the BBC dance competition. When the pair appeared on Pete and Sam's podcast, Staying Relevant, fans speculated over the chemistry between Pete and Jowita, after the teaser shared on social media was captioned with a jokey comment: "Sam's jealousy is 100% under control."
In the clip, which joked they were "third wheeling", Sam mentioned that Pete was looking into Jowita's eyes, with the pair having a private interactiong whcih prompted him to recall he'd called her a "ray of sunshine" in her yellow waistcoat.
When they look at each other, Sam notices Jowita twitch her nose, before he questions her: "What the f*** was that?!" Jowita replied: "We have a code." Sam reacted: "Well we've got a code - headbutt." Jowita added: "Sometimes we don't need to speak, we just look at each other and we know."
The Mirror has approached both Pete and Maura's representatives for comment on this story.
