Pete Wicks has finally revealed that the on-stage kiss between himself and his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Jowita Przystal “was choreographed”.
Last month, Pete Wicks and his best pal Sam Thompson took their Staying Relevant podcast to the O2 Arena for a live show. The sold-out, action-packed night included a dance between Pete and Jowita. And during it, they appeared to kiss numerous times, sparking rumours that she may be his girlfriend.
And now, Pete has opened up about the dance, setting the record straight and gushing about his former Strictly partner.
Pete Wicks and Jowita relationship
Last year, Pete and Jowita were partnered together on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, making it the whole way to the semi-final. But throughout their time on the show they sparked rumours that they may have been in a relationship. However, the pair always declined the rumours.
At the time, Pete was in a relationship with Maura Higgins, but that came to an end after she accused Pete of “cheating”.
Last month, Pete and Jowita appeared to share a few steamy on-stage kisses while performing live at the O2. However, following relationship rumours, insiders insisted they were just really good friends. Earlier this month, Pete had nothing but praise for Jowita as he lifted the lid on their relationship.
Pete praises Jowita
Speaking on his Staying Relevant Podcast, Pete and Sam were debriefing their night at the O2, when conversation turned to Pete’s dance with Jowita. Pete admitted that they had rehearsed the dance around seven times, and during four of them he had actually dropped Jowita.
He said: “We have to thank Jowita for the amount of work she put into it. Darling Jowita. To get me to a point that I could even put one foot in front of the other on the stage was just incredible. I didn’t drop her, thank [bleep].”
While he didn’t directly mention their kiss, Pete went on to admit he wouldn’t have got through it without Jowita, revealing how special she is.
The former TOWIE star explained: “It could have been a disaster. But we got through it and all of that is completely down to Jowita. She is one of the most special people. She’s so special, genuinely. Everything she did was just [bleep]ing incredible.”
Setting the record straight
Speaking on the podcast, Pete also read out a message from a fan called Kyla. She praised the O2 performance as “great” but admitted feeling “slightly traumatised” after her 82-year-old grandmother’s response to the steamy scenes.
“Her response: ‘Why can’t he be that aggressive with me? I would love to be kissed like that by Mr Peter Wicks,'” the star read out. Pete told Sam that “age is nothing but a number” and admitted he might “snap” Kyla’s granny “like a wishbone” if he kissed her like he kissed Jowita.
However, clearing up confusion over the kiss, Sam and Pete then confirmed that it was choreographed, and not an impromptu snog between the pair.
“It wasn’t an aggressive kiss, though,” said Sam. “By the way, it was choreography, that kiss. I think we should put that out there right now.”
Pete replied: “Yeah, it was part of the choreography.”
Looks like Kyla’s granny may be in with a chance with single Pete after all…
