Their cosy body language left viewers wondering if there was more between them.

One said: "Their chemistry is palpable!" as a second viewer watching at home echoed: "Pete and Jowita have the best chemistry of any couple this series by far".

Towie legend Pete shared a glimpse into his Strictly experience as they chatted to Janette.

He said: "I am absolutely loving it and I never thought I would be because I didn't think this was really my thing, I'm not a dancer.

"I don't think I have rhythm, but what I am loving is the whole learning experience and that the bit that is most exciting for me, in the rehearsal room with Jowita.

"It's my favourite bit because I'm a bit geeky and I love to learn something that's really and utterly new to me, it makes me really happy."

Turning to Jowita, he added: "And she makes me really happy every day."

Janette couldn't hide her surprised reaction and looked emotional, turning to the cameras and replying: "Aw, you guys. This is cute!"

Pete also appeared on his podcast Staying Relevant, which he hosts with best mate Sam Thompson, where he gushed about his dance teacher.

"Jowita is just - I could not have got a better partner," he smiled, ditching his usual trademark frown.

When Sam then quizzed him on if he could now see why taking part in the BBC show becomes such an intense bubble, Pete added: "I can't sit here and go 'she's my life' - we don't know each other that well.

"But what I do know is that she makes me feel good.

"And that is really important and hopefully I make her feel good and that's a really nice place to be, you know what I mean?"

Unfortunately for fans, Pete and Jowita had a rocky start to the competition on Saturday night's first performance show.

They performed a Paso Doble to The Prodigy track Firestarter, but the judges were not taken with it.

The pair scored 17 out of 40 points, tying with Paul Merson and Karen Hauer for the second from the bottom spot.

Right at the bottom of the leaderboard was Toyah Willcox and her pro partner Neil Jones, who got just 12 points for their Tango.
