It began as an emotional heart-to-heart — and ended with a bombshell that sent fans into meltdown. Pete Wicks and Strictly Come Dancing star Jowita Przystał have left everyone stunned after revealing they’re taking a massive step in their relationship: they’re moving in together.

The pair, whose unexpected friendship blossomed on the celebrity competition circuit earlier this year, sat down for what was meant to be a candid conversation about vulnerability and trust. But few could have predicted just how emotional — or revealing — the moment would become.

Pete, known for his tough-guy image on TOWIE, became visibly emotional as he opened up to Jowita about the struggles behind his usually guarded persona. Fighting back tears, he admitted that she had “brought a calm” into his life that he didn’t realize he needed.

“You’ve made me believe in people again,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m home.”

Jowita, equally moved, reached out to hold his hand — and that’s when Pete dropped the bombshell.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about it,” he continued. “And… I want us to move in together.”

The room fell silent before Jowita’s shocked expression turned into a tearful smile. “You mean that?” she asked — to which Pete nodded, eyes glistening.

Within minutes, social media exploded. Clips of the confession went viral across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with fans calling it “the most genuine reality TV moment in years.”

“Pete Wicks crying and confessing to Jowita? I’m sobbing,” one viewer posted.
“I’ve watched that ‘move-in’ moment three times — it’s too pure!” wrote another.

Many pointed out how Pete’s softer, more emotional side has taken center stage recently, following his widely praised animal rescue segment that melted hearts nationwide. Others joked that “2025 might just be the year of Pete Wicks’ redemption arc.”

Neither Pete nor Jowita has revealed where the new home will be, though sources close to the pair say the move is “very real” and not just for show. “They’ve built something genuine,” one insider said. “Pete’s been through a lot, but Jowita’s given him stability — and he wants to make it permanent.”

As for the couple themselves, both have remained humble amid the sudden attention. Pete later posted a photo of the two of them laughing together, captioned simply:

“New chapter. Same us.”

In a world obsessed with fleeting fame and fake drama, this was something different — something raw, heartfelt, and real. And for once, viewers weren’t arguing about who said what… they were just quietly cheering for love that felt honest.
