Pete Wicks has heaped praise on his former Strictly partner Jowita Przystal amidst swirling romance speculation. The reality television personality, 36, graced the renowned BBC ballroom last year alongside Jowita, and recently sent fans into a tailspin with dating rumours, but has now offered her glowing praise during a fresh television interview.
The former TOWIE favourite made it to the semi-final last year with his professional dance partner, and has now declared that provided her current partner ‘listens’ to her guidance, he stands an excellent chance of succeeding in the competition.
Speaking on Tuesday’s Lorraine, he commented: “If Jowita can drag me to the semi-final…she can work miracles! Ross is a better dancer than I was, so all he’s got to do is listen to Jowita!”.
Fans have long believed the duo, celebrated for their sizzling chemistry on the dance programme, share more than the professional dancer-celebrity relationship they professed to have. Speculation only heightened after Pete and Jowita were seen sharing passionate kisses not once, but three times on stage at London’s O2 Arena, reports the Mirror.
At Pete’s live podcast show, Staying Relevant, last month, Jowita made a surprise appearance at the O2 arena for a dance. The pair shared three kisses on the dance floor, sending the audience into a frenzy.
The Mirror approached Pete and Jowita’s representatives for a response.
