Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks has turned heads with the dancefloor chemistry between himself with his pro partner Jowita Przystał – a matter Loose Women star Olivia Attwood was keen to probe Pete on when he appeared on her So Right Its Wrong podcast.
The ex-TOWIE star, 36, was asked if he was romantically involved with his dance partner by the former Love Islander. While laughing, Pete replied: “Oh my god! No, obviously not.”

The BBC ballroom star added: “She’s honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life”, before insisting: “She’s really positive, she’s really nice, she’s got a very good sense of humour so she’s the best person I could’ve been with but it’s not a romantic thing.”

Pete also addressed his connection with Jowita when he sat down with best friend and former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson on their joint podcast, Staying Relevant.
