BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Jowita Przystal 'being wooed' by co-star

Romance rumours may have surrounded Jowita Przystal and her partner Pete Wicks this year - but she's reportedly being wooed by another Strictly star. It is said that Jowita, 30, and fellow professional dancer Vito Coppola have become close while pairing up with their respective partners on the show.

Jowita exited the competition just missing out on a spot in the final with former TOWIE star Pete. Meanwhile Vito made it all the way to the final with his partner Miranda actress Sarah Hadland, but they lost out to comedian Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell.

It has been hinted that both dancers were quietly falling for each other as the show progressed. A source told The Sun: "There have been several flings going on under the radar this year but people are talking behind the scenes."

They added: "The chemistry on set is palpable. But Vito is very respectful of Jowita and has been trying to woo her all series. Now that her partner Pete Wicks is no longer around to distract her, Vito can finally take centre stage."

Jowita's former dance partner Pete Wicks was spotted at Maura Higgin's hotel after she arrived back in the UK following her appearance on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! In the jungle, she appeared to open up on their relationship.

She confirmed she was single, but said she had been 'seeing' someone famous for around five months before she entrered the camp. Maura said she didn't know how it would progress, but did amit she 'missed' her admirer.

She also revealed to her campmates that they had known each other for a long time, and had been on romantic dates for oysters.
