Pete Wicks and Strictly’s Jowita fuel romance rumours with cosy selfie and show off matching outfits in new video

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Pete Wicks and his professional dance partner Jowita Pryzstal continue to look like a couple as they show off their matching outfits.

During a Strictly paddle game, for ‘Whose the sweetest and most stylish, the BBC pair showed off their identical beanie hats and leopard print trainers, prompting further speculation that they maybe more than friends.

From the moment they were partnered up, their sizzling chemistry has been clear for all to see as a slew of fans commented on a recent photo posted by Pete on his Instagram. One said: “Your chemistry is off the charts.”

Another said: “Love this partnership, hope you smash it.”

Another person said: “This is giving magic and energy.”

Meanwhile another said: “This is the most beautiful pairing.”

Earlier this week they were pictured once again in matching outfits talking a stroll through an Essex park.

Strictly champ Jowita, 30, wore a cowboy hat and nude slacks which were remarkably similar to the clobber worn by Pete, 36 who was in similar headgear and matching jacket.

The pair were looked relaxed in each others company as they walked Pete’s French bulldogs, pausing at one point for a hug.

Indeed when they appeared on the BBC spin off show, It Takes Two this week, fans were taken aback by Pete’s bold admission about Jowita.

He said: she "makes me really happy" and Jowita was 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.

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.
