Here's everything we know about Pete and Jowita's relationship status.
Are Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał dating?
It had been weeks of romance speculation before Pete finally addressed the Jowita dating rumours on his podcast and blamed the narrative all on choreography.
Addressing the 'kiss' that happened on the show, he said: "During the choreography, there’s a story been going around for two weeks saying me and Jowita kissed during the dance… everyone watched it on TV!
"They called it a “passionate kiss”, it’s the choreography, and we didn’t."
He also went on to say his "bad boy" perception plays a huge part on why he's being connected to Jowita romantically but insists he is a different person now.
Jowita herself has now also spoke up about the dating rumours, and admits while they have strong chemistry, they are just friends.
She told OK!: "We have very good chemistry together as friends, we really get on well with each other, and we have so much fun together. And dancing is a bit like acting, so we're telling a story every night on Saturday night, and I think we're doing a pretty good job.
"But we're very good friends, and I love him so much as a brother, and I think we're going to stay friends for life, to be honest."

In the past, Pete has said Jowita doesn't make him miserable as he declared: "I can't sit here and go, 'She's my life' - we don’t know each other that well. But what I do know is that she makes me feel good."
Elsewhere Pete's best friend Sam Thompson also confirmed the pair have a special connection when he said on This Morning: "He cares about her so much, the way he looks at her. I've never seen it before. I just want to see him happy, he is one of the best people I know."
And it's not just the people closest to Pete and Jowita who are noticing their chemistry as Craig Revel Horwood has even said: "There is a lot of giggling going on and chumminess with Pete and Jowita."
Before going on the show and meeting Jowita, Pete was rumoured to be dating former Love Island star Maura Higgins after being pictured hanging out together.
Jowita was previously connected to former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.
