Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal on This Morning today
Former TOWIE star Pete admitted he and Jowita have been in a “bubble” and in their “own little world” on the show.
Host Alison asked the pair: “Is it a love bubble?”
We have great chemistry and we’ve become such good friends.
Pete quickly replied: “It’s not a love bubble, unfortunately.”
He then joked, looking at his watch: “That was about 30 seconds before you went in for it,” to which Alison said: “I was straight in there!”
Pete continued: “No, it’s not a love bubble. We have great chemistry and we’ve become such good friends. She’s one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.”
Alison then asked further: “Has it been annoying all these love rumours?”
Pete said: “It’s always the same. I’m used to it. That’s all anyone is really interested in, is that side of stuff.
“But we don’t really listen to all that.”

Dermot and Alison then jokingly blamed Pete’s best friend and This Morning regular Sam Thompson for fuelling the rumours!
Dermot said: “It’s Sam’s fault. He comes on and goes, ‘totally in love!’ and he’s bouncing off the walls.”
Pete replied: “I blame Sam for most things that happen in my life. But no, it’s not like that. We’ve become such great friends and that really helps us with the dancing.”
