Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancer, Jowita Przystal, was partnered with ex-TOWIE star Pete Wicks for the 20th series of the popular dance programme. The duo delighted fans with their performances, including a George of the Jungle-themed routine during Movie Week and a Rumba to Oasis' Don't Look Back in Anger.
‌
Despite rumours of a potential romance, both Jowita and Pete dismissed such speculation.
‌
Speaking exclusively to OK! at the Pride of Britain Awards, Jowita addressed the gossip: "We have very good chemistry together as friends, we really get on well with each other, and we have so much fun together. And dancing is a bit like acting, so we're telling a story every night on Saturday night, and I think we're doing a pretty good job with that so..."
‌
She further clarified: "But we're very good friends, and I love him so much as a brother, and I think we're going to stay friends for life, to be honest."
Jowita and Michael before their split
Jowita, who originates from Poland, started her professional dancing career at the age of 12. In 2014, at 20, she achieved the title of Poland's Open Latin Champion.
‌
The following year, she transitioned from her background in Ballroom and Latin to join Burn the Floor - a touring dance troupe specialising in contemporary dance. She has lived in the UK since 2019 and previously operated a dance academy alongside professional dancer Michael Danilczuk, who was also her romantic partner off the dance floor.
The pair triumphed on BBC's The Greatest Dancer in 2020, securing the £50,000 prize and an opportunity to perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
Jowita and Michael initially encountered each other in 2013 at a dance workshop in Krakow, Poland. Though they didn't take to one another at first, after 12 months of dancing together they became romantically involved and had previously described themselves as "inseparable."

Her Instagram account was filled with romantic photographs of herself and Michael, though they parted ways shortly before the 2022 Strictly series commenced.
Jowita was subsequently linked romantically with fellow Strictly professional Giovanni Pernice. At the time, a source revealed to The Sun: "She and Gio are the worst kept secret, but make a great couple."

The pair, both professional dancers, were said to have gone public at Chelsea footballer Jorginho's birthday bash held at Grappelli, an Italian eatery in Cobham, Surrey.
An insider revealed: "While they both kept insisting they were single, the pair's chemistry was ridiculous - and they kept getting busted snogging in corridors. Crew even saw them kissing in the production office."
Despite this, Giovanni and Jowita never officially confirmed the speculation, and by March of the previous year, it was reported that the duo had parted ways.
