Strictly Come Dancing sensation Jowita Przystal is reportedly in a secret relationship. This revelation comes amidst speculation from fans of the BBC dance show who were convinced she shared a romantic spark with her dance partner Pete Wicks, fuelled by their passionate performances and near-kisses on the dance floor, not to mention their palpable chemistry off-stage.
However, it has been revealed that the dancer is romantically involved with British Airways employee Calum Laming, 47. The couple allegedly met at a Comic Relief charity event and took their relationship to the next level by moving in together last summer.
Calum was seen accompanying Jowita to the Pride of Britain Awards last week and was also present at her performance on the Strictly pros tour last year.
According to reports, Jowita has "fallen hard" for Calum, who is equally "smitten".
"Jowita is hugely ambitious and is determined to win Strictly and appreciates the publicity surrounding herself and Pete, regarding whether or not they're dating, will help her cause," an insider disclosed to the Daily Mail.

There has been much speculation about a possible romance between Jowita and Pete, and their dance routines have been choreographed to involve a lot of close personal contact.
The news of Jowita's romance will surprise fans as Calum is just an ordinary bloke with no showbiz or dance links.
Jowita couldn't help but share her affection for Calum on Instagram during their summer outing to BST Hyde Park, exclaiming: "We met just a year ago, but I feel like I've known you forever, and I can't even describe how lucky I am to have you in my life.
"I've laughed, danced, cried and made memories for a lifetime. And as we said, it's time to be grateful for the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future."

Calum reciprocated the sentiment, posting: "I feel so unbelievably lucky you came into my life."
He continued, "As the song said, I was having the time of my life. This one goes into my - and our - memories forever."
Previously rumoured to have been close to former Strictly sensation Giovanni Pernice, Jowita sparked fresh romance speculation with Pete during the recent series. The pair seemingly confirmed the whispers when they appeared to lock lips after a dance last month.
Their connection deepened further as they were spotted in a heartfelt kiss and cuddling during behind-the-scenes rehearsal moments.

The burgeoning romance between Pete and Jowita has been dubbed an "open secret" amid chatter that Pete is utterly obsessed with the professional dancer. Adding fuel to the fire, Pete's confidant Sam Thompson revealed: "Pete's in love."
Speculation appeared to reach fever pitch after Pete and Jowita teased on Loose Women about getting matching tattoos should they win the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
However, Pete seemingly confirmed his romance with ex-Love Island sensation Maura Higgins, 34, at last week's Pride of Britain Awards. The couple, who have been the subject of dating rumours for some time, were caught sharing a smooch as they revelled until 1 am at London's Grosvenor Hotel.
