STRICTLY Come Dancing newbie Pete Wicks and professional dancer Jowita Pryzstal couldn't stop giggling as they took a break from rehearsals.
On a sunny day in the capital, the duo looked to be getting on like a house on fire ahead of the new series, which starts next month.
The official celebrity and dancer pairings haven't been revealed yet, but Pete and Jowita looked like they'd have great chemistry on the dancefloor.
Former Glitterball champ Jowita, who won the show with wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin in 2022, jokingly pointed a finger at the ex-Towie lothario, and they beamed as they posed together for a photo on the balcony.
The stunning dancer, who previously dated Giovanni Pernice, wore a green sports bra and matching cycle shorts, while long-haired Pete was in his customary black tee and jeans.
The reality TV veteran was officially announced as a contestant on the Strictly social channels this week.
And his new love interest, Love Island star Maura Higgins, left a very rude comment underneath the confirmation.
It followed us exclusively revealing that the pair kissed at Broadwick Soho Hotel over the weekend.
Irish beauty Maura appeared to address their budding relationship in her saucy Instagram post.
She wrote: "I know what those hips can do PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!."
An onlooker at the swanky hotel told The Sun that Pete joined Maura on Saturday evening where she had been having lunch with friends.
They said: “Maura had been sitting on the terrace with friends for an hour before Pete arrived.
“After they’d sat there for a while Maura went in for a long kiss with Pete. It wasn’t the kind of kiss you’d give a friend, it was very passionate.
“Maura and Pete seemed to be really into each other and kept looking into each other’s eyes before kissing again a number of times.
“When it got dark they moved into the hotel’s Flute bar and Pete sat with his arm around Maura all evening.
“They were all over each other. They looked totally in love and weren’t trying to hide it from anyone.”
Pete first wooed Maura, nearly one year ago on glamorous night out at the Pride of Britain awards.
