Strictly Come Dancing’s Pete Wicks and Jowita Pryzstal looked extremely close as they were saved by the public for another week during Sunday’s results show.

Eyebrows have been raised over Pete’s love life in recent weeks as he’s been linked to both his Strictly pro partner Jowita and Love Island star Maura Higgins.

Pete and Jowita looked very cosy as they were interviewed by Claudia Winkleman after getting through to next week’s show. 

Jowita gripped onto Pete as the pair sat together on the Strictly couch after the results were read out, before they stared into each other’s eyes and smiled at one another.

The moment came just hours after Pete penned a smitten comment on Maura’s Instagram while she is in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The TV personality, 36, is thought to be dating Maura, 33, but she has since insisted that she is single, and said a romance in the jungle is likely to be off the cards.

However, Pete chose not to hold back after watching a clip of Maura doing an eating challenge in the latest Bushtucker Trial, as he took to the comments to write: ‘WHAT A WOMAN’.

The clip was posted to Instagram by Maura’s friends and family, who are running her account while she’s Down Under.

Hilariously, they edited in the viral video of Maura in Love Island, where she overhears Tom Walker, who she was coupled up with at the time on the show, making a suggestive comment before they went into the hideaway.

The funny clip saw Tom quip: ‘It will be interesting to see whether she’s all mouth or not,’ followed by Maura getting stuck into the eating challenge and joking: ‘I don’t think i can swallow it. First time I’ve said that.’

Pete’s show of support for Maura came after he and Jowita sent fans wild with their chemistry during their latest dance.

The pair opened Saturday’s show with a fierce Tango to Easy Lover by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins, and got a total score of 29 out of 40.

Jowita looked sensational in a racy white mesh dress, while Pete looked dapper in a black suit.

Fans rushed to social media platform X to share their thoughts, with one penning: ‘Pete and Jowita are definitely in lurve’

‘You can’t deny, Pete & Jowita are so cute together’; ‘pete and jowita i am OBSESSED’

The pair have been competing on Strictly together since September, and in recent days, sources have claimed they have been secretly seeing each other away from the show and have been spotted looking cosy on car rides together.

On Thursday, sources claimed ‘something has changed’ between Pete and his Strictly dance partner in recent weeks and they have been secretly seeing each other away from the show.

At the beginning of the series, the pair were said to have ‘sent tongues wagging’ between the cast and crew due to their sizzling chemistry, with viewers even spotting their close connection.

‘The chemistry between them has been pretty clear since the moment they met but the last few weeks something has changed and they’ve started seeing each other away from the show,’ a source told The Sun.

‘They’ve tried to keep it low-key but they often travel together rather than getting separate cars to different locations.

‘And they’re so tactile backstage it has become pretty obvious something is going on. Everyone is talking about the fact they seem closer than ever.’

Back in October, Pete shut down rumours of a romance between him and Jowita during a joint appearance on This Morning.

Host Alison Hammond began their interview, by asking: ‘Do you actually listen to the judges or are you just in your own little world?’

Pete admitted: ‘I’m just in my own little world, we’re in a bit of a bubble when we dance!’ causing Alison to jump to the opportunity to probe them about their rumoured relationship, cheekily asking: ‘Is it a love bubble?’

However, Pete insisted: ‘It’s not a love bubble unfortunately…’
