Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins were spotted getting close at a London pub following his fiery performance with dance partner Jowita Przysta on Strictly Come Dancing.

Onlookers have claimed the two reality TV stars, who have been friends for some time, appeared 'more than just friends'. Despite Pete, 36, and Maura, 34, consistently maintaining that they are just good pals, witnesses claimed the duo appeared to be the 'perfect couple' as they enjoyed a cosy night out just weeks after they were caught sharing a kiss during a boozy lunch in the capital.

It comes following Pete's steamy routine with Jowita, 30, on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night (28 September), fuelling speculation of a budding romance.

Former TOWIE star Pete seemed to plant a smooch on his Strictly partner during their latest show-stopping number on BBC One, but later he was spotted with Maura, sparking rumours that there might be more than friendship between them, reports the Mirror. "They were chatting to Pete's co-star Wynne Evans and it was very clear they were more than just friends.Things have clearly turned romantic as they were all over each other," an insider revealed to The Sun. "At one point she ran her hands through his hair under his hat, and they were cuddling loads too.They looked really cosy and comfortable with each other." OK!
