Pete even cheekily referred to Jowita's closeness with Jamie when she appeared on his Staying Relevant podcast, admitting the Polish dancer would have preferred the actor as her Strictly partner. The Polish dancer joined the Strictly lineup in 2021 and was paired with her first celebrity partner the following year, going onto win the series alongside wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin.
