Strictly Come Dancing ‘s Pete Wicks has continued to fuel speculation about his relationship with pro partner Jowita by publicly showing support from rumoured love interest Maura Higgins.
Maura is currently in ITV’s I’m A Celeb, whilst Pete is taking part in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Jowita Przystał.
In recent months, Pete has been rumoured to be dating Love Island star Maura, despite the Irish star insisting she was single when she first entered the jungle.
Meanwhile, Pete has been seen getting close to Jowita outside of dance rehearsals, sparking fan speculation about a potential romance between the pair, reports the Mirror.
Now, former TOWIE star Pete has sparked rumours of a love triangle by posting his support for Maura while she takes on the Bushtucker trials in the jungle.
Pete shared an image from Maura’s account, urging the public to vote for her to win, as he wrote: “There she is! My winner…”. It comes after he posted another message in support of Maura.
Clips of Maura on the show were posted on her account, which is being run by her manager during her time in the jungle. The post featured footage of Maura facing the dreaded eating trail alongside “Father”, aka Reverend Richard Coles.
The pair tackled the trial head-on, earning their campmates a junk food buffet as a reward. As Pete commented: “WHAT A WOMAN.”
Rumours of a romance between the two surfaced after they were spotted sharing a “passionate” kiss in August. Maura playfully addressed the speculation when she was seen wearing a top that featured an image of her kissing Pete, with the words “we can’t be friends” below it. It was also reported that the pair were seen kissing at a Pride of Britain Awards afterparty.
Additionally, Pete and dance partner Jowita have been spending a lot of time on what some may call a series of dates. Outside the rehearsal studio the pair have been spotted visiting a dog home together, with Jowita looking smitten as they enjoyed their day out.
