Strictly’s Jamie Borthwick and Jowita Przystał were spotted out and about in Leeds amid rumours they’re secretly dating.
The EastEnders star, 30, and professional dancer, also 30, looked in good spirits as they walked together in the city centre ahead of the latest Strictly arena show.
Smiling Jowita, wrapped up in a stylish black coat over a white tracksuit, wore a black New York Yankees cap.
Jamie wore a green and blue fleece with navy jogging bottoms and white trainers. He walked with his hand in his pockets and the pair had a good conversation.
According to a new report, Jamie and Jowita had a fling while filming the series towards the end of last year.
The pair initially met in 2023 when Jamie won the Strictly Christmas special. They then really hit it off when he joined the main show last autumn.
A source told MailOnline: “Jowita and Jamie grew really close while filming Strictly.
“Things did get romantic between them, Jowita loves Jamie’s playfulness and sense of humour, not to mention he’s a very talented dancer.”
The source then touched on how rumours about Jowita and Pete Wicks allowed her connection with Jamie to “go under the radar”.
On the tour, Jamie is paired with Michelle Tsiakkas, while Jowita is part of the ensemble.
Pete cheekily referred to Jowita’s closeness with Jamie when she appeared on his Staying Relevant podcast.
He said: “I have a question for you, I think I have asked you this before but you have to answer.
“You have to answer this. Don’t sit on the fence or do any of that crap, I want to know.”
He continued: “If you weren’t dancing with me, who would you want to dance with… and it doesn’t have to be who’s left, it could be people who have gone.”
Pete pressed: “If you couldn’t dance with me, who would you like to dance with? I know the answer to this… 100 per cent, Jamie.”
Jowita then replied: “Well probably. I knew him from the Christmas special and we get on very well.”
Pete added: “I said this to you at the weekend actually but you and Jamie would have been great, you get on really well with him and you would have had lots of fun with him and Jamie is a really good dancer, so cool.”
