Strictly star Pete Wicks is reportedly dating Maura Higgins – and it seems pro dancer partner Jowita Przystal won’t be too happy about it.
Pete is one of many famous faces taking part in this year’s Strictly series. Partnered with Jowita, the pair have got plenty of people talking, with rumours swirling that the pair are dating.
However, it’s now been claimed that Maura Huggins has now caught Pete’s eye – something that will be a “fresh blow” for Jowita.
Pete Wicks and Maura Huggins ‘dating’
Earlier this week, Pete and Love Island star Maura Higgins attended the Pride of Britain awards. But it’s been reported that things took a cheeky turn during the afterparty, as the pair were spotted locking lips.
Reports have claimed Maura and Pete partied until 1am at the hotel’s Red Bar and are said to have made it clear that they were an item.
According to MailOnline, a fan saw Maura “planting a kiss on Pete’s nose before the pair kissed on the lips”.
