Romance is often the spice of life, and it seems reality TV stars Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal are at the center of swirling rumors about their relationship status. For weeks now, fans have been watching closely as the two appear together on Strictly Come Dancing. The public's curiosity reached new heights recently when the duo were spotted sharing what looked like a cozy moment on the streets of London.
Wicks, best known for his role on The Only Way Is Essex, has made headlines not only for his dance moves but also for his rumored love interests. At 36, he is no stranger to media scrutiny, which only intensifies when he's linked to his younger dance partner, the 30-year-old Przystal, and also to Maura Higgins, another reality star known for her appearances on Love Island.
But wait—we’re not just talking about idle gossip here! Their recent public outings have only fanned the flames of speculation. Just last week, the pair was seen leaving an office together, with Wicks appearing protective as he rested his hand on Przystal's shoulder. This gave the fans plenty to speculate about, especially since he also left flirty remarks on Higgins’ Instagram posts.
Things took another turn when Wicks appeared on ITV’s Lorraine, where he attempted to quash the romance rumors. He reassured viewers, stating, “I think it’s the press... We’ve said from day one we’re really good friends, but they just want to do what they want to do.” It's clear he’s aware of the buzz and has become somewhat accustomed to the limelight.
Yet, Wicks emphasized the emotional strain this speculation can create. On the same show, he opened up about receiving negative comments and even “death threats” since the series began. It might seem absurd, especially for what’s largely perceived as light entertainment. He remarked, “Some people take it very, very seriously, but I’m used to it.” No doubt, handling public scrutiny is just another aspect of his reality television experience.
Meanwhile, Przystal also weighed in with her thoughts on kindness amid the chaos of public life. She remarked, “All we want to do is just have fun and give people something to enjoy on Saturday nights.” Her sentiments suggest the duo’s primary focus lies on the performance and delighting fans rather than dealing with swirling gossip and speculation.
What’s more, the dynamic between Wicks and Przystal appears authentic, stemming from their mutual respect and camaraderie. Wicks noted how they have grown closer as they spent considerable time rehearsing for the show. “We’ve become really close through this whole thing because you spend so much time together,” he shared, emphasizing their friendship over any romantic inclinations.
Looking toward their performances, they are also gearing up for their next waltz to “Somewhere” from West Side Story, during which they'll showcase the skills they’ve honed together on the dance floor. Fans are eagerly awaiting their quarter-final performance, where they’ll surely deliver another impressive routine.
Through ups and downs, Wicks and Przystal seem to navigate the reality TV world with humor and resilience. With major performances looming, coupled with the pressures of public speculation, it’s safe to say fans will be on the edge of their seats, eager to see what happens next—both on and off the dancefloor.
So, the question remains: Are Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal really just friends? Or is there something more blossoming beneath the surface? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—the duo has captured the attention of reality TV enthusiasts everywhere.
