Sam Thompson reveals his best pal Pete Wicks is 'in love' with his Strictly dance partner Jowita Przystal after the pair sparked romance rumours
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.
Earlier on Monday, Jowita took to her Instagram to post a slew of friendly snaps at Strictly Takes Two of them both, sending fans into a frenzy as they highlighted their obvious chemistry.
In one snap, the pair looked snug as Pete put his arm around Jowita's waist while she kicked her leg in the air in a playful pose for the camera.
They also posted a series of cute selfies, with Pete using Jowita's hair to mimic a moustache in the photographs.
Fans took to the comment section of the post to gush over them both confessing they 'look good together' and have 'major chemistry'.
One fan gushed: 'There couldn’t be more chemistry if you chucked a Bunsen burner between them!'; 'I know I shouldn't say this, but you guys have major chemistry.'
'Both look sooooo good together really hope this is the start of more than just Strictly. Would love to see Pete find happiness and Jowita is beautiful inside and out.'
