Strictly’s Pete almost sends Jowita ‘flying’ after awkward stumble

Strictly insiders say it has become an ‘open secret’ among the cast and crew that they have fallen for one another after being paired together in August.

One said: ‘Pete has fallen head over heels for Jowita. He thinks she is amazing in every way.

‘The feeling is mutual from her side and things have definitely progressed between them. They are all over one another behind the scenes, in a way that a loved-up couple would be.’

After the couple’s sizzling dance on Saturday, Pete had judge Craig Revel-Horwood blushing with his George Of The Jungle themed rountine, but Jowita was also impressed with his skimpy costume.

A backstage video of the pair posted on the Strictly Instagram account, shows Jowita teasing Pete about his wild look, telling him: ‘I still think you should keep that outfit’.

Commenting on the flirty video, Jowita also posted a love heart for her rumoured love interest, gushing: ‘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 said later of the George of the Jungle routine: ‘I absolutely hate the film, but I absolutely love the Samba. George loves the Samba.’

Jowita, turning to her co-star and gazing up at him said: ‘Any idea I picture you go with it. You never say no and you always want to be fully in. You’re my number one George. Better than the movie.’

Speaking about their romance the source also told The Mail: ‘It appears that we may have the first Strictly romance of the series, which is so exciting. They are the talk of the show.

‘The other contestants are really happy for them. They are always smiling. It’s lovely. It will certainly brighten up the show following the dreadful saga around Giovanni (Pernice) and Amanda Abbington.’

All the Strictly Come Dancing blunders so far this series

The pair are thought to have hit it off ‘immediately’ and were seen at the beginning of last month very publicly cosying up together at the National Television Awards.

It wouldn’t be the first time that Jowita– the Polish ballroom supremo who guided Hamza Yassin to victory in 2022 – has dated one of her Strictly co-stars.

She enjoyed a fling with former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, 34, last year 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 mentioned that they didn’t like one another at first but after spending a year in partnership they fell in love.

In 2015, they ended their competitive career together but carried on performing with Burn The Floor, the live dance show, while travelling the world. They split up two years ago.

Strictly‘s Dianne Buswell took a swipe at the recently eliminated Toyah Willcox on Tuesday.

The professional dancer, 35, took to Instagram to share a video update of herself  and her celebrity dance partner Chris McCausland, 47 and they discussed how their last performance went.

After thanking fans for their support, Dianne made a subtle comment about the pair’s former co-star after Toyah made a savage joke on Strictly – It Takes Two on Sunday night.

She joked that she looked a little like Toyah when she was in costume as Garth from Wayne’s World on movie week at the weekend.

She said: ‘It went alright didn’t it?’ as she beamed at her partner.

He then complimented his professional partner, telling her she looked great dressed as her Movie Week character Garth, from Wayne’s World.

But Dianne quickly cut in, and said she looked a little bit like their co-star, saying: ‘Yeah, I looked a bit like Toyah as well.’

And Chris chuckled, adding that she looked ‘great as Garth/Toyah’ before joking that he had been told he looked like singer Lewis Capaldi.

Dianne and Chris dressed up as Wayne and Garth from Mike Meyer’s comedy Wayne’s World for the dance competition’s Movie Week.

The theme saw Dianne don a voluminous blonde wig and thick-rimmed black glasses as well as a glittery blue shirt and black jeans.

Chris looked world’s away from his normal self in a long black wig, matching black T-shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse trainers.

He completed his transformation into the film’s titular character with a black cap with the word ‘Wayne’s’ over a picture of the world.

Dianne’s brutal comparison comes after Toyah’s savage dig at co-star Chris during her appearance on It Takes Two left viewers, presenter Fleur East and her professional partner Neil Jones speechless.

And while the singer was attempting to make ta joke, her comment didn’t sit well with fans of the show.

But following viewer outrage, Toyah set the record straight on Tuesday night on what she really meant.

The actress took to Twitter and penned: ‘Just to clarify and to clear up any confusion that’s flying around.

‘Get rid of Chris’: Toyah takes a dig at Chris after Strictly exit

‘My good friend @chrismccausland, is my favourite to win this year, I think he is inspiring and brilliant, he has worked so hard and I wish him nothing but love! Toyah.’

During the singer’s appearance on the spin off show, Fleur asked Toyah how she was feeling leaving her Strictly family behind.

She asked: ‘It’s been such a tight knit group this year do you have any advice or tips for the other celebs?’

Toyah then rubbed her hands together and chuckled before sitting forward in her seat and telling the camera: ‘If you don’t want to do a dance off, get rid of Chris or you’re all going to have a face a dance off.’

 As Toyah laughed, her partner Neil looked at Fleur in confusion with his mouth open before letting out a chuckle.

As the camera settled on Fleur’s face, the singer, 36, also appeared shocked and struggled to speak.

In an effort to diffuse the situation, the professional dancer told the host: ‘She’s chose our winner already!’ as the three all laughed.

Fleur then quickly moved the conversation on to what Toyah might be getting up to now her time on the show had finished.

Many felt the attempt at a joke was inappropriate considering the comedic star is blind.

Others demanded a public apology from the star.

While another took to X and wrote: ‘Toyah upset cause a Blindman can dance better than her and yes, Chris deserves a public apology’.

One fan especially appreciated Paul standing up for Chris as he joked he knew he would be safe in the competition once he found out he was in the dance off against Toyah

And the barrage of criticism online caught the attention of the comedian himself who was forced to wade in.

The stand-up took to his own X account and told fans of the show that Toyah had been nothing but supportive during their shared time on the show together.

He wrote: ‘All I can say is that @toyahofficial has been nothing but beautiful and supportive and what she said on Takes Two was funny and an incredible bloody compliment. It’s been such a joy and a privilege Toya. Lots of love, enjoy the surfing! X’.

Meanwhile Paul Merson also made sure to take a swipe at Toyah as he also appeared on the BBC spin off show on Tuesday evening after beating her in the dance off on Sunday.

Speaking about being in the bottom two he joked: ‘It’s completely out of my hands. I just sit there and relax.

‘I do sit there and think, “very good, very good, very good. Oh Toyah’s still in, she’s the same as me. She’s the same as me, so I’ve got a chance!”‘

He added: ‘It was out of Jamie [Borthwick] and Toyah. If Jamie was the one who [ended up in the dance-off], I would have been out. So when it was Toyah, it was a flip of a coin. I knew I had a chance.’

Taking to Twitter one fan wrote: ‘Nice bit of shade from Paul there, defending his butty Chris from Toyah’s comments!’

The 80s singer and partner Neil were eliminated from the competition after losing the dance off to footballer Paul Merson and partner Karen Hauer following Movie Week.

While Neil said: ‘[Toyah] has made me laugh so much, I have never seen someone work so hard , I’m the one asking for breaks every now and then! She just kept going, she wanted to learn so much.’

‘If you saw her in the hallway she’s been practicing. Everyone’s been telling me have you seen Toyah practicing, she’s brilliant and she’s what Strictly is all about, and I’ve loved every moment’.

And the star proved that the show is just as popular in her home as it is with the rest of the UK.

Larry said filming the finale was ‘so emotional’ as he teased a ‘beautiful’ ending to the series.

He admitted the process was even more poignant than usual because they shot the final scenes on the last days of filming.

He said: ‘It was a trip down memory lane. Because suddenly there we are, and we’re facing the fact that effectively this is the end of this adventure – it’s the end of this journey and it was so emotional.

‘On the last day of filming, we were filming the end of the story which is so unusual because nine times out of ten you find that you’re doing the end on the first day and you’re doing the beginning right at the end of it all.

‘So what we were filming was the end of the story on the very last day and there was just this mental tick, tick, tick going on all the time and the emotions just kept building and building and building … [the ending] is just beautiful.’

Gavin and Stacey co-creators James and Ruth shocked the nation earlier this year by revealing the programme is to return for a finale, which will be the first episode since a 2019 Christmas special.

Meghan Markle stepped out in Santa Barbara last week to attend a very special event on her own involving teenage girls and royal fans had one thing to say.

The Duchess of Sussex visited Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara on October 2 to engage with young girls about their experiences growing up in the digital age.

The visit, which was announced today (October 11), which is International Day of the Girl, coincided with the launch of a new digital-wellness programme called Social Media U, which is brought by Girls Inc. in partnership with non-profit organisation #HalfTheStory.

The new effort is financially supported by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s charity, the Archewell Foundation, the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation, and Melinda French Gates’s Pivotal Ventures

Its aim is to encourage teenage girls to socialise without screens – and encourage them to use technology for positive connection and creativity

Meghan looked incredible in a smart casual ensemble, which consisted of a blue shirt with white details by J.Crew x Marie Marot (sold out online), a pair of white, seemingly linen, wide-leg trousers, a brown leather Ralph Lauren belt (£89) and a pair of brown suede heels by Manolo Blahnik (£595).

The duchess kept her brunette locks down in loose waves.

 

The majority of royal fans liked the look and appreciated the trousers did not touch the floor.

One user said on X: “It is one of her better looks. The slacks are long but at least not dusting the ground. I do wish she would move to a different style of pants but this look at least is appropriate.”

A second one wrote: “Well…her slacks are not dragging on the ground…”

Others liked the look in general, with one commenting: “It’s age appropriate and event appropriate. Markle is a slender woman, but for some reason…pleated trousers aren’t her friend.”

Another one opined: “This is a nice outfit. Needs ironing and the hem fixed but overall nice.”

A third one added: “This is one of her better looks and would have been appropriate for her visit to the children’s hospital.”

A fourth one said: “It’s a nice outfit.”

A fifth one wrote: “I’m not a fan of the white collar/cuffs, but over all, I really like this on her.”
