Strictly insiders say it has become an ‘open secret’ among the cast and crew that they fell for each other after being linked in August.
One said: ‘Pete is in love with Jowita. He thinks she’s great in every way.
“The feeling is mutual on her part and things have definitely progressed between them. Behind the scenes they are all busy with each other, like a couple in love would be.’
After the couple’s sizzling dance on Saturday, Pete judge Craig Revel-Horwood blushed during his George Of The Jungle themed routine, but Jowita was also impressed by his skimpy costume.
A backstage video of the pair, posted to the Strictly Instagram account, shows Jowita teasing Pete about his wild look and telling him: ‘I still think you should keep that outfit’.
Commenting on the flirty video, Jowita also posted a love heart for her rumored love interest, saying, “So proud of you!!!!! My king of the jungle! ‘
The judges awarded the pair an impressive 26 for Movie Week – with Craig and Motsi delivering sixes and Shirley and Anton sevens.
Pete later said of the George of the Jungle routine, “I absolutely hate the movie, but I absolutely love the Samba.” George likes the Samba.’
Jowita turned to her co-star and looked up at him, “I imagine you have an idea. You never say no and you always want to be fully involved. You are my number one George. Better than the movie.’
Speaking about their romance, the source also told The Mail: ‘It looks like we might have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.
‘The other participants are very happy for them. They always smile. It’s beautiful. It will certainly liven up the show after the terrible saga surrounding Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington.”

It’s believed the pair hit it off ‘instantly’ and hung out very publicly at the National Television Awards early last month.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Jowita – the Polish ballroom supremo who guided Hamza Yassin to victory in 2022 – has been in a relationship with one of her Strictly co-stars.
She had an affair last year with former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, 34, and was also linked to dancer Arduino Bertoncello.
Before that, she was in a long-term relationship with her dance partner Michael Danilczuk.
According to their website, the couple met in 2013 at a summer dance camp in Krakow, Poland. It also said that they didn’t like each other at first, but after spending a year together, they fell in love.
In 2015, they ended their competitive career together, but continued to perform with Burn The Floor, the live dance show, as they traveled the world. They broke up two years ago.
