STRICTLY stars Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal’s relationship is heating up — they’re going on a car ride together.
Insiders claim the touchy-feely couple are “closer than ever” now that Pete’s latest love interest Maura Higgins has left to go underground on I’m A Celebrity.

A source said the growing chemistry between reality star Pete, 36, and Polish professional dancer Jowita, 30, is a major backstage theme of the show.
They told The Sun: “The chemistry between them was pretty clear from the moment they met.
“But in the last few weeks something changed and they started seeing each other outside the show.
“They have tried to be discreet, but they often travel together instead of going in separate cars to different locations.
“And they’re so tactile backstage – it became pretty obvious that something was going on.
“Everyone is talking about how they seem closer than ever.”
Motorbike enthusiast Pete, who rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, was seen on a date with Maura, 33, earlier in this year’s series of Strictly.
But when the former Love Island star touched down in Oz this month, she said: “I do go out, but I’m mostly single.”
Jowita split from her long-term lover, dancer Michael Danilczuk, in 2022, the same year she won the BBC dance show with Hamza Yassin.
Our source continued: “Maybe Pete was waiting to see what would happen with Maura. Both are free.
