Strictly Come Dancing stars Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał have seemingly been caught on camera in what appears to be a passionate kiss, apparently confirming weeks of romance rumours.
The former TOWIE star and his professional dance partner appear to have been photographed sharing an intimate moment during rehearsals for their upcoming routine on Saturday’s show.
The pair, who have been impressing audiences with their undeniable chemistry, were reportedly seen getting incredibly close.
At one point, Wicks appeared to plant a kiss on Przystał’s lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a passionate embrace.
The development comes after weeks of speculation about their growing bond, which has been described as an “open secret” on the popular BBC dance competition.
The photos, published in The Mirror and other publications, show the two looking cosier than ever during their behind-the-scenes rehearsals.
Their close bond has reportedly become the talk of the show, with other contestants expressing happiness for the pair.
A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.”
The insider added: “The feeling is mutual from her side and things have definitely progressed between them. They are all over one another behind the scenes, in a way that a loved-up couple would be.”
This apparent confirmation of their romance follows a sizzling routine on the show recently that ended in a near-kiss, leaving viewers gobsmacked.
The buzz surrounding Wicks and Przystal’s relationship has been growing steadily. Their on-screen chemistry has been evident throughout their Strictly journey, with viewers noticing their connection.
Wick’s best mate, former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, added fuel to the fire by admitting: “Pete’s in love.” The revelation has only intensified speculation about the pair’s off-screen relationship.
The couple’s bond extends beyond the dance floor. They recently divulged on Loose Women that they plan to get matching tattoos if they win the Glitterball Trophy.
The reality star confirmed: “Obviously, I have got a fair few tattoos so if we win then we are going to get a couple of glitterballs.”
Their shared interests also extend to their ideal movie date scenarios, with both describing cosy log cabin settings.
Wicks, 36, is known for his romantic escapades with celebrities, including Love Island’s Maura Higgins and former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold. His current relationship status remains unclear.
