Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks has added to the mystery around his relationship with pro partner Jowita after publicly supporting Maura Higgins - who he was said to be dating.
Maura, 34, is currently taking part in ITV's I'm A Celebrity, with Pete and Jowita Przystał partnered up on the BBC dance competition. Pete, 36, was though to have been dating Love Island star Maura in recent months, although she did insist that she was single when she entered the jungle.
Meanwhile, Pete has been spotted cosying up with Jowita outside of rehearsals, leading fans to speculate on a budding romance between the two. And now former TOWIE star Pete has further fuelled rumours of a love triangle, by posting again about his support for the Irish reality star.
Sharing a picture originally posted on Maura's account, urging the public to vote her to win, Pete sweetly wrote: "There she is! My winner...", before encouraging his followers to vote. It comes after he has posted other messages of support for Maura, who got to the final of Love Island in 2019.

@p_wicks01/Instagram)Footage of Maura on I'm A Celeb was shared on her account, which is being run by her manager while she is getting through her stint in the jungle. The post included clips showing Maura taking on the first dreaded eating Bushtucker trial of the series on Saturday night, alongside "Father", aka Reverend Richard Coles.
The dynamic duo passed the trial, winning their campmates a junk food buffet, with Pete writing: "WHAT A WOMAN." It comes after rumours of a romance between the two, with them spotted sharing a "passionate" kiss in August. Maura poked fun at the speculation when she was seen wearing a top the showed her kissing Pete on the front, below the words "we can't be friends". It was also reported that the pair were seen kissing at a Pride of Britain Awards afterparty last month.
While it's still unconfirmed that anything is going on between the two, Pete and Jowita have been sharing lots of quality time together, on what the untrained eye could see as a series of dates. Outside the Strictly rehearsal studios, the pair have been spotted visiting a dog's home, with Jowita looking over the moon as they enjoyed their day out.

BBC)Pete took her to the Dogs Trust in Basildon, where Jowita was delighted to have a photo taken with some puppies. She wrote: "Last week I had the pleasure to visit @dogstrust_basildon. Thank you team for a warm welcome and thank you @p_wicks01 for taking me there, one of the most beautiful mornings."
She added: "What you’re doing for those little ones is absolutely remarkable, you’re my heroes. Like @p_wicks01 says everyone deserves a second chance." In the first snap, Jowita beamed as she snuggled up with a pup, while Pete sat next to her on the floor giving the dog an ear rub.
But Pete denied fans' rumouts that they're dating to Lorraine Kelly yesterday, telling her: "We've said from day one that we're really good friends but they just want to do what they want to do."
