Jowita, turning to her co-star and gazing up at him said: ‘Any idea I picture you go with it. You never say no and you always want to be fully in. You’re my number one George. Better than the movie.’
Speaking about their romance the source also told The Mail: ‘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.’
The pair are thought to have hit it off ‘immediately’ and were seen at the beginning of last month very publicly cosying up together at the National Television Awards.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Jowita– the Polish ballroom supremo who guided Hamza Yassin to victory in 2022 – has dated one of her Strictly co-stars.
She enjoyed a fling with former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, 34, last year and was also linked to dancer Arduino Bertoncello.
Before that, she was in a long-term relationship with her dance partner Michael Danilczuk.
