Strictly Jowita reveals ban she’s put Pete Wicks on as they fuel romance rumours with ‘insane chemistry’ in podcast chat

STRICTLY professional Jowita Przystał has revealed the surprising ban she’s put her dance partner Pete Wicks on as they fuel romance rumours with their ‘insane chemistry’ in a podcast chat.

The two, who are paired together on this year’s series of the BBC competition, have raised eyebrows with how close they’ve got over the past few weeks.

Pete using hosts his own podcast with best mate Sam Thompson – however the Made In Chelsea star is currently in Australia filming for I’m A Celebrity Unpacked.

The former Towie favourite was joined by his dance partner for the most recent instalment.

At the start of the episode, Pete made a shocking confession about what has been stopped from enjoying booze.

He said on the Staying Relevant podcast: “I will not be drinking because I am not allowed.

“Currently, my dance wife has told me that I’m not allowed to drink.

“But I will be swearing more than ever in this episode, I can feel it in my bones.”

Tonight’s instalment of Strictly Come Dancing marks week 10 just days after they performed at Blackpool Tower.

Before making it to the iconic week in the show, Pete shared a gushing tribute to Jowita, after a dance dedicated to his late nan.

They performed a couples’ choice to Tina Turner’s hit Simply The Best, which was Doreen’s favourite song.

The former Towie star expressed deep gratitude for his pro partner, telling fans he’s “beyond grateful” for her support.

He wrote: “I don’t know what to say…I ain’t always very good at talking about emotions but I wanted to thank every single one of you that voted last night or just resonated with our dance.

“We all lose people we love, it’s life…but someone once told me ‘don’t let the death of someone be the death of you’ and it’s stuck in my head.

“My nan was my best friend and she would have loved watching me try and dance every Saturday night.

“This was just my way of sharing this experience with her.

“It wasn’t about the show or getting to Blackpool, it was just a thank you to my mum and my nan.

“I’m humbled by all of your kind words and support.

“Next week is for Jowita, she has given me so much over the past couple of months and I know how important it is for her to be able to dance again in Blackpool.”

Other fans are convinced that Jowita is ‘head over heels’ for the tatted hunk, after spotting a ‘massive’ onscreen clue.

And it has led fans to take to social media to claim Jowita is “madly in love” with her reality star dance partner.

Someone wrote: “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.

“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.”

Someone else said: “I think she really does look at him adoringly.”

Days prior they were spotted cosying up together in rehearsals in preparation for their next dance.

TONIGHT’S EPISODE

There are just seven famous faces left in the competition.

Pete will be dancing the tango to Phil Collins’ Easy Lover.

The star will be up against Tasha Ghouri, Montell Douglas, Sarah Hadland, Chris McCausland, Jamie Borthwick and JB Gill.

LAST SATURDAY

Last week Pete was saved from the dance off – despite being bottom of the leader board after his cha cha.

And fans think Pete’s costume – which included skintight pink PVC trousers – is what saved him.

Writing on social media, one said: “I can only assume people were voting for the pink trousers as it sure as hell wasn’t the dancing!”

Someone else wrote: “So how the hell did Pink Pete not be in the dance-off?

“His Cha Cha was the worst dance of the night! Must have been the Pink trousers that won it for him.”

And a third added: “Please vote for the dancing, not the pink trousers! He was shocking.”
