Strictly insiders have since revealed that their ballroom romance has been brewing behind the scenes ever since the pairing was made.
The Strictly source told The Mail On Sunday: "Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.
"The feeling is mutual from her side and things have definitely progressed between them. They are all over one another behind the scenes, in a way that a loved-up couple would be.'
"It appears that we may have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.

"The other contestants are really happy for them. They are always smiling. It's lovely. It will certainly brighten up the show following the dreadful saga around Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington."
Even Strictly judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas noticed the pair's chemistry, and both commented on it in their critiques last week.
Vincent admitted you can fall in love quite quickly on the dancefloor, adding: "Pasha Kovalev got married to Rachel Riley.
"Gorka Marquez got married (to Gemma Atkinson). Flavia Cacace got married (to Jimi Mistry).
