Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks is 'in love' with his professional dancing partner Jowita Przystal, his best pal Sam Thompson has revealed.
The TOWIE star, 36, and the pro dancer, 30, sparked romance rumours earlier this month when they were spotted together at the National Television Awards.
Now, Pete's podcast co-host has revealed that he believes the two are in love and that the reality TV star 'cares about her so much'.
When appearing on Friday's This Morning, Sam was quizzed by show hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about their relationship.
The presenter said: 'I think they are in love,' but quickly added that he actually believes their relationship is 'platonic.'

Sam added: 'He cares about her so much, the way he looks at her, I've never seen it before.
'I just want to see him happy, he is one of the best people I know.'
Sam's confession comes after the pair put on a very cosy display as they looked into each others eyes and confessed they have a 'code' to communicate without talking.
On Monday, Jowita appeared alongside Pete and Sam on their Staying Relevant podcast, where they confessed that they know what each other is thinking just by looking at one another.
Their close display appeared to rattle his co-host pal Sam as he tried to deny his jealousy over the pair's growing connection.
In the clip, Jowita revealed that Pete called her his 'little ray of sunshine', which prompted her to wear his yellow waistcoat for their time on the show.
The pair were then seen whispering to each other before Jowita rested her head on his shoulder.
Before revealing their non-verbal code, they gave each other an 'Eskimo' kiss in the air.
