Pete Wicks and Strictly partner Jowita can’t keep their hands off each other on dog walk amid ‘sizzling chemistry’
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Pete Wicks and his professional partner Jowita Przystal looked super cosy as they headed out on an autumnal dog walk.
The BBC show pair – who have sparked romance rumours ever since they were first partnered up – couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they headed to an Essex park.
They were joined by former TOWIE star Pete‘s two adorable dogs as they took a stroll, stopping at one point to share a hug.
Strictly champ Jowita, 30, cut a cool look as she donned a cowboy hat, nude jacket and jeans.
Pete, 36, clearly got the memo too, donning similar headgear and jacket, but pairing with dark trousers and boots.
He held a lead for each French Bulldog in so had his hands full during the stroll.
Yet, as they paused, it meant he could wrap an arm around the professional too.
Later in the day, he stopped for a cigarette before the pair were followed around by a camera crew.
Jowita then headed to a local cafe where she met Pete’s mum.
Fans were quick to remark on their “sizzling chemistry” as he put her arm around her in a recent selfie.
Taking to the comments section, one fan wrote: “There couldn’t be more chemistry if you chucked a Bunsen burner between them!”
Another added: “What a partnership and chemistry for days.”
It’s not the first time Pete and Jowita have set tongues wagging.
They appeared on spin-off show It Takes Two and Pete shocked viewers with his words about Jowita.
He said how she “makes me really happy” with his professional partner clearly touched by the remark.
Previously, we reported how eagle-eyed show fans had spotted the exact moment Pete was left fuming with his dismal show score.

It came after he performed a sultry Paso Doble with Jowita – who was quick to encourage him to believe in himself.
After they scooped a score of 17 she said on the show he should believe in himself more and added: “Tonight is the night you proved you can.
“You can. Because you’ve danced a beautiful Paso Doble and I’m looking forward to another week of rehearsals.”
Some fans now reckon they have been struck by the Strictly Curse.
This is where celebrities who may or may not be attached in the outside world become more than friends with their professional partners.
Strictly Curse - The Lowdown
STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest series has already been hit by rumours of a BBC show 'curse' - yet what is it?
A host of Strictly Come Dancing stars have been struck by the Strictly Curse during the past two decades.
This is where celebrities who may or may not be attached in the outside world become more than friends with their professional partners.
A total of 20 relationships are said to have been impacted so far over the show’s 20 years.
It has seen relationships crumble with dance floor romances and punishing rehearsal schedules to blame.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, Judge Craig Revel Horwood once said of the curse: “I think of it as a blessing, to be honest. One person is married, the other one had a girlfriend but my point in this entire thing is: if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that is not working anyway.
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before it all goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole left his fiancé, fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, during filming for the very first series in spring 2004.
Brendan was said to have fallen for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner Natasha Kaplinsky, although the duo didn’t confirm they were romantically involved.
