Pete: The only way is no sex

PETE Wicks has insisted there is nothing going on between him and his old Strictly partner Jowita Przystal - even though they kissed three times on stage this week.

Fans were convinced last year's Strictly pairing were confirming their love for each other when they repeatedly puckered up in front of an audience of thousands.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star Pete, 36, and pro dancer Jowita, 31, couldn't keep their hands - or lips - off each other during their sexually-charged dance routine at London's O2 Arena.

But last night Pete's representatives denied reports he is dating Strictly star Jowita and insisted their onstage smooching was not confirmation of a romance.

On Friday, Pete and his I'm a Celebrity winner pal Sam Thompson, 33, hosted a live version of their Staying Relevant podcast at the O2 for one night only.

But when Pete took to the stage with Jowita, their sensual moves and lip action raised more than just a few eyebrows in the audience.
