Watch as Strictly’s Jowita flirts with ‘cute’ Pete Wicks – after Maura Higgins opened up on their romance on I’m A Celeb
STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Jowita Pryzstal has appeared to flirt with celebrity partner Pete Wicks in rehearsals.
The pair, who will compete in the Strictly Come Dancing semi final this weekend, have had an intense week of rehearsals as they take on two dances.
Speaking on Instagram Stories, the pair discussed their dances and practising as Pete looked defeated.
The former TOWIE star said to the camera: “I’m tired, very tired. Two dances, half the time, two completely different dances. We described one is cute and one is sexy.”
Jowita then asked her partner: Which one do you like better? I think you’re cute.”
Pete replied: “I mean, I don't think I strike anyone as a cute person.”

He then added: “To be honest, I'm far from sexy, but I mean, to be fair, they are very different, but we are enjoying both of them.”
He then revealed he’s excited to perform the Argentine Tango, which had been a dance he wanted to do from the start of his journey on Strictly.
He explained: “I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to do it.
“I'm so pleased I have because I thought I'd like it, and I think it's my favorite dance so far.”
Trying to cheer up her tired dance partner, Jowita then sweetly added: “I think you're doing amazing. And I'm really, really looking forward to Saturday night.”
Pete will dance in the semi-final on Saturday night alongside Chris McCausland, Tasha Ghouri, Sarah Hadland and JB Gill.
She explained: "Pete's role in this flirting is negligible.
"If he is intending to go pounding off to meet Maura on the jungle bridge soon, she will have nothing to complain about from his body language during the Strictly run."
Just a few days ago Maura commented on her romance with Pete whilst she's currently in the Australian jungle on ITV's I'm A Celebrity.
While chatting with fellow campmates, the Love Island alum admitted she was seeing someone before entering the jungle - and she was "missing him".
Refusing to say much, she did coyly admit that her mystery man was someone recognisable.
As the conversation unfolded, Maura confessed she has been missing him during her time in the jungle.
She admitted: "It does [feel different this time], but then is it because we’ve known each other for a long time?"
Maura's comments follow months of speculation about her relationship with Pete Wicks, as first revealed by The Sun.
