Pete and Jowita already wowed the judges with their own rendition of the Foxtrot earlier, but their second dance definitely oozed sizzling chemistry.

Right at the end of the performance, they pulled each other in close and positioned themselves as if they were about to lock lips.

The ending of their dance sent fans wild on X, with one writing on the platform: "Wow Pete the near kiss at the end."

Another asked: "Did they kiss then?"

 

The pair were spotted snogging back in August - and since then have kept very tight lipped on what's going on between them.

Just yesterday Maura - who was booted off of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here on Thursday - appeared to confirm her relationship with Pete on This Morning.

Host Alison Hammond mentioned Pete during the segment and Maura said: "It didn't take it long to ask you that question did it?!

"Do you know what, you forget about the cameras, I do like to keep things private.

"I said I miss him, I do miss him..."

She then giggled and said: "Like I miss all my friends and family."

Just weeks before heading into the jungle, Pete and Maura 'confirmed' their romance as they snogged on the street.

Maura also went on to say in the jungle that the hunk had been trying to date her for the past five years.
