Reality television star Pete Wicks has sent shockwaves through the fan community by publicly confirming his romantic relationship with Strictly Come Dancing champion Jowita Przystał.
The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) personality made the surprise announcement during an appearance on the BBC's Morning Live, putting weeks of swirling speculation firmly to rest. The confirmation comes after the pair were spotted enjoying a series of cosy dates, sending the rumour mill into overdrive.
"We are seeing each other, yeah," Wicks stated with a smile, addressing hosts Gethin Jones and Sara Cox directly. His candid admission provided the official confirmation everyone had been waiting for.
The new couple first sparked dating rumours after being photographed together on multiple occasions, including a low-key coffee outing and a romantic dinner, before making their first major public appearance as a pair at the TRIC Awards in London earlier this year.
Polish-born Przystał, who joined the Strictly professional lineup in 2021, shot to fame by lifting the coveted Glitterball Trophy in her debut season alongside celebrity partner Hamza Yassin. Her electrifying performances and choreography have made her a firm favourite with viewers.
Wicks, no stranger to the spotlight himself, is a longstanding cast member of the iconic ITV reality series TOWIE and co-hosts the popular podcast >Private Parts with fellow reality star Sam Thompson.
When pressed for details on who made the first move, Wicks playfully dodged the question, leaving some mystery around the origins of their blossoming romance. Fans of both stars have since flocked to social media to express their overwhelming support for the unexpected but charming pairing.
