Strictly star Pete Wicks is at the heart of a swirling “love hexagon” as rumors about his romantic entanglements intensify. The latest buzz surrounds his chemistry with Strictly partner Jowita Pryzstal, which has been the talk of the town for weeks. However, things took a turn at the recent Pride of Britain Awards when Pete was reportedly seen sharing a kiss with Maura Higgins, further fueling speculation about their connection.
Adding to the complexity is the sudden involvement of Kai Widdrington, who was recently single after breaking up with Nadiya Bychkova. At the very same awards event, Kai seemed to be getting cozy with Maura, and Nadiya made it clear on the red carpet that she no longer considers Kai a friend. To add to the mix, Maura has a history with former Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice, who has also been linked romantically to Jowita.
Before they were even officially partnered on Strictly 2024, rumors of a romance between Pete and Jowita were already circulating. Fans observed what they interpreted as intimate moments during rehearsals, and Jowita has reportedly expressed feelings for Pete publicly. But the plot thickened when it was revealed Pete was seen kissing Maura at a post-award show party.
Eyewitness accounts detailed how Maura and Pete attended the afterparty, where they were seen engaging in affectionate behavior, indicating they were indeed an item. Reports describe an encounter where Maura playfully kissed Pete on the nose, followed closely by a kiss on the lips. Their apparent closeness began to emerge last October during another outing, leading to repeated speculation about their relationship status.
Meanwhile, pictures surfaced of Kai appearing quite affectionate with Maura earlier the same night at a dinner, suggesting a playful relationship. These developments have led some insiders to comment on the complex dynamics among the group, highlighting a continuous cycle of relationships and flings that seems unending.
Though Nadiya Bychkova has stepped away from the drama, following her split from Kai earlier this summer, her feelings about him are clear. When asked about their relationship, she explained that while they work together, they are no longer friends, indicating a resolve to move on.
The situation becomes even more convoluted when considering Maura’s past relationship with Giovanni Pernice, with whom she also shared a passionate romance that ultimately ended. They were frequently seen together, professing their love openly until their relationship dissolved amicably.
While Giovanni has moved on, rumors persist that he had a fling with Jowita earlier this year, adding yet another layer to this already intricate love hexagon. As the current season of Strictly unfolds, it seems clear that this tale of interwoven relationships is just beginning, and things could shift dramatically in the weeks to come. With so many players involved and emotions running high, it’s a captivating drama gripping viewers both on and off the dance floor.
