Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal often sparked romance rumours during their time together on Strictly Come Dancing last year.
And now, fans of the BBC show are convinced that the former TOWIE star, 36, and the professional dancer, 31, are an item after Pete posted a slew of snaps from their time together on the show to his Instagram on Friday.
In the photo dump, Pete included a steamy dancefloor snap, a close-up car selfie, a rehearsal snap, and several photos from their nights out together.
Alongside the post, the star gushed: ‘It was never about dancing…it was about the person.
‘Happy birthday @jowitaprzystal – I am so blessed and grateful to have you in my life. My pocket rocket (love heart emoji).’
The ‘hard launch’ on social media sent fans wild, and they flocked to the comment section to speculate whether the former dance partners are now officially an item.

‘You two look like you belong together just saying.’; ‘We were always team Pete and Jowita!’
It comes after Pete reluctantly admitted that he is ‘in love’ with a new mystery woman six months on from his break-up with Maura Higgins.
The Only Way is Essex star was forced to confess his love on the Staying Relevant podcast with bestie Sam Thompson, 33.
He was given a lie detector test that saw him hooked up to a polygraph as Sam hit him with a series of questions.
Sam asked: ‘Are you in love with somebody right now?’
While Pete said no, the waiting polygrapher gave a thumbs down to indicate that the star was lying – and he proceeded to tease his new romance.
An excited Sam said: ‘Ahhh, I knew it! And that’s all we’re going to say.’
In the photo dump, Pete included a close-up car selfie and a sweet snap of the pair together at rehearsal

When asked why he had lied, Pete admitted: ‘I don’t know, it just came to my head, it’s a f****** lie.’
Sam was so excited by the news that he almost jumped out of his seat and said: ‘Pete’s in love with somebody. Find her! Find her!
‘Pete’s in love secretly, and I think I know who it is.’
Pete replied: ‘You know exactly who it is, I literally told you the f****** story, she’s not replied.’
The angry reality star stressed: ‘Why would you put that one in there? That was not on the f****** list!’
Despite Sam’s excitement, no further details – including the mystery woman’s name – were revealed.
An uncomfortable Pete asked: ‘Are we f****** done with me now?’

Pete reluctantly admitted that he is ‘in love’ with a new mystery woman six months on from his split with Maura Higgins (both pictured 2024)
Pete and Maura were first linked in August last year, but the former couple went their separate ways in February, and Maura was later seen kissing McFly’s Danny Jones at the BRITs.
At the time, Pete distanced himself from the drama this caused by going on his already planned luxury holiday to Dubai.
A source told the Daily Mail: ‘Pete has moved on and couldn’t care less about Maura. He feels indifferent about the drama currently surrounding her.
‘He is focusing on himself and enjoying a break in the sun before getting back into work.’
Pete stayed at The Lana hotel, the Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in the Middle East, with rooms starting at £730 per night.
