Pete and Maura were recently spotted snogging
REALITY TV Lothario Pete Wicks ‘kissed’ his dance partner Jowita Przystał during a steamy performance during a week of non-stop speculation over ‘will they/won’t they’.
And it led Strictly fans to be convinced that there was something going on, on a romantic level, between Pete and Jowita – as viewers raved about the Strictly duo’s ‘sizzling chemistry’ on the show.

But it turns out that’s not the case at all and, in a turn of events, Pete was then pictured snogging Love Island alum Maura Higgins in The Sun’s exclusive snaps, confirming that the couple are very much an item.
Now, the truth behind TV’s most talked about love triangle is out, after Pete’s smooches with the two stunning ladies.
A source has revealed to The Sun that Pete and Jowita are “definitely not” dating, and he is in fact with reality TV sensation Maura Higgins.
They said: “He’s with Maura – they spend every spare moment they can together when he’s not rehearsing.
“They’ve been keeping things under wraps as it was great for Strictly – everyone loves a romance don’t they, and Pete and Jowita kept everyone guessing – but sadly for Strictly fans this is very much a showmance and Pete only has eyes for Maura.”
They added that Jowita and Pete’s ‘showmance’ has taken fans attention away from what’s really going on in the Towie hunk’s love life.
Continuing: “When everyone thought him and Jowita were together it conveniently meant that Pete and Maura could enjoy their new romance away from prying eyes but the cat’s out of the bag now.”
The Sun’s exclusive images show Maura and Pete enjoying a kiss after a date at east London hotspot Gloria.
The reality TV stunners – who were seen “all over each other” at a recent boozy celeb bash – have sealed their relationship with a very public snog.
Dressed in a black jacket and matching jeans, he joined the Glow Up Ireland anchor, 33, as she braved the chill for a cigarette outside trendy eatery Gloria.
Maura opted for monochrome styling with a black puffer jacket paired with white flared trousers.
She pulled her brunette hair back in a slick bun and kept her make-up fresh for their date night.
After she finished her smoke, the pair could be seen laughing at something on Pete’s phone.
They embraced in a cuddle before staying close as they walked down the street.
Strictly Curse – The Lowdown
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s latest series has already been hit by rumours of a BBC show ‘curse’ – yet what is it?
A host of Strictly Come Dancing stars have been struck by the Strictly Curse during the past two decades.
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.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, Judge Craig Revel Horwood once said of the curse: “I think of it as a blessing, to be honest. One person is married, the other one had a girlfriend but my point in this entire thing is: if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that is not working anyway.
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before it all goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole left his fiancé, fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup, during filming for the very first series in spring 2004.
Brendan was said to have fallen for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner Natasha Kaplinsky, although the duo didn’t confirm they were romantically involved.
WHOLE LOTTA HISTORY
TV stars Maura and Pete first set tongues wagging after they were pictured snogging in public in the summer.
However, the pair were also seen getting VERY close at the afterparty for the Pride of Britain Awards, reports claimed.
One fan saw Maura “planting a kiss on Pete’s nose before the pair kissed on the lips”, it was reported.
The latest news comes weeks after they were seen “all over each other” in a pub, when Maura joined Pete and his Strictly co-stars.
An onlooker at the time told The Sun: “They were chatting to Pete’s co-star Wynne Evans and it was very clear they were more than just friends.
“Things have clearly turned romantic as they were all over each other.
“At one point she ran her hands through his hair under his hat, and they were cuddling loads too.
“They looked really cosy and comfortable with each other.”
The pair first got fans all hot under the collar when they were pictured kissing in a posh bar in London.
An onlooker told The Sun Pete came to join Maura at the posh five-star hotel where she had been having lunch with friends.
