Romance rumours have been flying around Pete Wicks and Strictly star Jowita Przystal for months and now it looks like they've confirmed their romance.
In August, Pete sent fans into a frenzy after dedicating an Instagram post to his dancing partner from Strictly Come Dancing last year.
The TV star, 36, wished Jowita, 31, a happy birthday, saying: 'It was never about dancing…it was about the person.'
During a performance at the 02 in London on Friday, where they performed the showcase dance they would have done if they'd made it to the Strictly final, Pete and Jowita put on quite the show.
According to MailOnline, they passionately kissed three times during an electric performance that was brimming with chemistry.

An insider added: 'Pete and Jowita are now an item, they've been dating for a few weeks. They kept things professional on Strictly, there was no crossover with Maura...
'You could tell something is going on between them during their routine - it was extremely raunchy and dance partners don't usually kiss quite like that.'
Fans will be delighted to see the latest update in Pete and Jowita's story and were already backing the duo as a couple after Pete's loved-up post to mark Jowita's birthday in August.
Vicky Pattinson, who will be a contestant on this year's show, commented: 'God I love you's two! Happy birthday @jowitaprzystal! You queen' and comedian and TV legend Paul Chuckle penned: 'Happy Birthday @jowitaprzystal hope you had an amazing day ... we both send our best.'
Eagle-eyed fans commented, 'WAIT IS THIS A HARD LAUNCH????' at the time, while others mentioned the cuteness of Pete's post. 'What a beautiful post.'
'Is this a love story hiding in plain sight? I really hope so. Never seen 2 more suited humans,' added a third person.
The heartfelt post comes after the pair were seen commenting under each other's posts, as well as Pete admitting he was 'in love' with another woman after his split from Maura Higgins.
On his podcast with Sam Thompson, Pete was hooked up to a lie detector and asked the burning question, 'Are you in love with somebody right now?'
While Pete said no, his heart was saying otherwise as the polygraph detected that he was lying. Sam cheekily replied, 'Pete's in love with somebody. Find her! Find her!'
There was even chatter that Pete or Jowita could have sparked up a relationship since his Strictly days.
Pete and Maura were first linked together in August, but speculations were firmly put to bed by February as the pair were soon making jibes at each other online.
