EX-STRICTLY pro Vincent Simone has fuelled romance rumours between Pete Wicks and Jowita Pryzstal after fans spotted their explosive chemistry.
It comes just days after Towie star Pete, 35, was pictured looking cosy with Love Island legend Maura Higgins in a London pub.
Italian dancer Vincent is convinced "something's going on" between Pete and Jowita and he certainly knows what he's talking about having witnessed a number of romances flourishing between celebrities and Strictly's dancers over the years.
The pro, who appeared on the BBC series from 2006 until 2012, has been keeping a close eye on the current series and delivered a telling verdict on Pete and Jowita's undeniable chemistry.
Speaking to 10bet, he said: "I think the two of them are just gorgeous and I felt, after watching them, ‘Hello! There’s something going on here’.
"I would love a bit of romance on the show!"

Pete and Jowita have sparked rumours of a romance and fanned the flames as they appeared to kiss on Saturday night during a sizzling performance.
Even Strictly judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas noticed the pair's chemistry, and both commented on it in their critiques.
Vincent admitted you can fall in love quite quickly on the dancefloor, adding: "Pasha Kovalev got married to Rachel Riley.
"Gorka Marquez got married (to Gemma Atkinson). Flavia Cacace got married (to Jimi Mistry).
"They’re both absolutely gorgeous. If they’re both single and spending so much time together, then why not go for it?
"We’ve seen people from the show get married in the past.
