Pete Wicks has reignited speculation surrounding his bond with his Strictly dance partner Jowita Przystal as he shared a cosy Instagram snap with her on Sunday.
The Staying Relevant star, 37, sent fans into a frenzy when he shared a gushing tribute to Jowita, 31, in honour of her birthday last month, leading some to question whether the post was him ‘hard launching’ their romance.
Pete shared a sweet snap of himself and Jowita in a dance studio on his Instagram Stories, as she prepares to take to the floor with a new celebrity partner on Strictly later this month.
Jowita and Pete often sparked romance rumours during their time together on Strictly Come Dancing last year.
And fans of the BBC show are convinced that the former TOWIE star and the dancer are an item after Pete posted a slew of snaps from their time together on the show to his Instagram.
In the photo dump, Pete included a steamy dance floor snap, a close-up car selfie, a rehearsal snap, and several photos from their nights out together.

Alongside the post, the star gushed: ‘It was never about dancing…it was about the person.
‘Happy birthday @jowitaprzystal – I am so blessed and grateful to have you in my life. My pocket rocket (love heart emoji).’
The post sent fans wild, and they flocked to the comment section to speculate whether the former dance partners are now officially an item.
Some wrote: ‘WAIT IS THIS A HARD LAUNCH????’; ‘I reeeeeaaalllyy hope that this is the woman you’re in love with!!’;
‘This is 1000% who he’s in love with (eyes emoji)’; ‘I hope that’s who you’re in love with and she too you ❤️’; ‘Is she the lie detector question tho!! That’s what wanna know!’;
‘You two look like you belong together just saying.’; ‘We were always team Pete and Jowita!’
Last month, Pete was also pictured cosying up to his longtime pal Olivia Attwood while they enjoyed a boozy yacht getaway to Ibiza.
The image prompted a backlash online, as well as unsavoury chants aimed at Olivia’s husband Bradley Dack, 31, by football fans watching him play for League Two side Gillingham.

But opening up about the furore which sparked numerous headlines, Olivia told Daily Mail both she and Bradley are determined to overcome what she describes as ‘difficult times’ sparked by their incredibly busy work schedules.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Staying Relevant, Pete also reluctantly admitted that he is ‘in love’ with a new mystery woman, six months on from his break-up with Maura Higgins.
He was given a lie detector test that saw him hooked up to a polygraph as Sam hit him with a series of questions.
Sam asked: ‘Are you in love with somebody right now?’
While Pete said no, the waiting polygrapher gave a thumbs down to indicate that the star was lying – and he proceeded to tease his new romance.
An excited Sam said: ‘Ahhh, I knew it! And that’s all we’re going to say.’
When asked why he had lied, Pete admitted: ‘I don’t know, it just came to my head, it’s a f****** lie.’
Sam was so excited by the news that he almost jumped out of his seat and said: ‘Pete’s in love with somebody. Find her! Find her!
‘Pete’s in love secretly, and I think I know who it is.’
Pete replied: ‘You know exactly who it is, I literally told you the f****** story, she’s not replied.’
Pete also previously gushed about his close relationship with Jowita in an interview with Daily Mail, calling her ‘one of the most important people in his life.’
The reality star competed on Strictly Come Dancing last year, and despite being dubbed an unlikely signing by some, he reached the semi-finals.
Pete said: ‘I thought as soon as you could vote people out, what is it week two? I thought I’d be gone, I genuinely did and that would be it, and every week after that I thought I’d be gone.

‘I certainly never expected to get to the semi-finals and be that far along and have that experience for such a long time, but I was very fortunate, it was very overwhelming.
‘A lot of that, if I’m totally honest, is down to Jowita, she was the best partner I could have had, I was with her on Saturday night, she’s become one of the most important in my life. She’s one of my best mates, and I adore her.
‘She had to put up with me, she dragged me through it, because it certainly wasn’t the dancing!’
‘I didn’t take myself too seriously but I took the show really seriously, and I took the process really seriously, I took the learning really seriously.
‘I enjoy learning things, and that was my favourite part of the whole thing, obviously I didn’t take myself too seriously because I knew I wasn’t the best dancer, and that’s why I was dressed as George of the jungle and wearing pink PVC trousers.’
