Viewers predict heartbreak as Pete Wicks' Strictly partner "totally smitten" with Maura Higgins' beau
Jowita Przystal and Pete Wicks have slowly crept up the leaderboard in recent weeks and were awarded their first 10 from Shirley Ballas on Saturday following an emotional performance
Strictly Come Dancing fans have spotted a sign Jowita Przystal is "totally smitten" with partner Pete Wicks as they predict heartbreak.
The Only Way Is Essex star, 36, delivered a powerful performance on the dancefloor on Saturday, as he and Jowita performed their Couples’ Choice routine to Tina Turner’s classic Simply The Best. The dance was dedicated to Pete’s late nan Doreen, as the song was one of her favourites, and the reality TV star was left visibly emotional once the routine had come to an end.
As they comforted each other before the judges gave their scores, viewers claimed there were signs that Jowita is "madly in love" with her dance partner. "Bit controversial and it's probably already been spoken about but does anyone else think she's got feelings for Pete? Seriously, every time I see them together and her looking at him, it looks as if she's madly in love with him," one tweeted.

"Not suggesting there's anything between them as I don't really see it on his side, but she looks like she's crazy about him," another agreed, as one commented: "I think she really does look at him adoringly." However, many pointed out that Pete has just gone public with his new girlfriend, former Love Island star Maura Higgins. "I think it's one-sided whatever it is. It just looks so obvious and difficult to ignore every time I see her look at him."
In rehearsals for Saturday’s show, Jowita and Pete were spotted cosying up to each other, and in one moment, they had their heads pressed together as Pete had his eyes closed. The couple have faced weeks of speculation about their relationship, and the rumour mill went into overdrive when it looked like they kissed during a performance on the BBC show.
But Pete dismissed the reports, and he said they didn’t kiss, as it was just the "choreography" which made their embrace look more intimate. "During the choreography, there’s a story been going around for two weeks saying me and Jowita kissed during the dance… everyone watched it on TV! They called it a 'passionate kiss', it’s the choreography, and we didn’t," Pete explained, as he confessed his professional dance partner made him "feel good".
Jowita also addressed the dating rumours, and while she admitted they had incredible chemistry, insisted they were just good friends. "We have very good chemistry together as friends, we really get on well with each other, and we have so much fun together. And dancing is a bit like acting, so we're telling a story every night on Saturday night, and I think we're doing a pretty good job," she said. "But we're very good friends, and I love him so much as a brother, and I think we're going to stay friends for life, to be honest."
