STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are not giving up hope that Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał will become an item after their 'sizzling chemistry' in a new video.
The pair have become fan favourites just two weeks into the show, with many believing the pair are 'falling in love' after becoming close.
And no-one seems to feel the sting of the curse more than Sam Thompson, Pete's right-hand man and best mate.
Uploading a clip onto TikTok and Instagram, Sam is seen looking jealous as he's "replaced" by Jowita in Pete's affections as he sits and watches them rehearse.
Practicing their romantic foxtrot to I Had Some Help by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, Sam is seen looking upset as Jowita throws herself into Pete's arms and he guides her across the floor.
Justin Bieber's The Should Be Me is playing over the clip, with the camera cutting between the pair's dance and an increasingly zoomed in shot of Sam's face.
Fans were quick to flock to the comments to discuss Pete and Jowita's chemistry, saying they are convinced the 'Strictly curse' will strike them despite Pete being seen getting cuddly with Love Islander Maura Higgins.
"This has to be the best Strictly curse ever, I have a good feeling about Pete and his partner," one wrote on Instagram.
While on TikTok, one fan wrote: "Another relationship struck by the the strictly curse" referring to Sam and Pete.
"Get over it Sam.. I definitely think they should be together 😳😂😂😂😍😍😍" said another.
"is she genuinely not supposed to fall in love with Pete staring her in the eyes like that 😅🥰" questioned a third.
While a fourth joked: "The strictly curse has done it again 😭 poor Sam✨"
Last weekend, Pete and Jowita revealed the finished dance on the ballroom floor, depicting a country romance between a cowboy and his love interest.
At several points during the routine, the pair came millimetres away from sharing an on-screen kiss, with Pete drawing Jowita close during moves as she hung from his shoulders.
The song even ended with them leaning in for a kiss on a bale of hay while 'watching the sun set', before the lights cut off.
Judge Shirley Ballas declared "their chemistry was too hot to handle" while Motsi Mabuse also commented on it.
Here's what we can expect from this week's live Movie Week show
"I think both of you, you had such a beautiful, flirty, romantic atmosphere, and I believed it was authentic," she told them.
Despite this, they were only awarded 22 points, putting them in the danger zone for a potential spot in the dance-off.
However, they were saved by viewers votes, with Tom Dean becoming the first star to exit – much to the horror of fans who declared the decision one of the most scandalous early exits in the history of the show.
This week, Pete and Jowita will be back on the dancefloor trying their hand at a samba for Movie Week.
Pete will be turning into George Of The Jungle for the evening to fight for his spot in the competition.
