Pete Wicks kiss with Jowita at O2 show sparks romance speculation as Sam Thompson jokes predator

Pete Wicks and his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Jowita Przystał shared a kiss on stage during a raunchy routine at the O2 in London on Friday. The moment occurred during a live performance that doubled as a special, secret-rehearsed showcase for the Staying Relevant duo and drew a crowd of about 15,000 fans. The kiss came as part of a finale that showcased the pair’s onstage chemistry after weeks of covert preparation for a number they had kept under wraps until show night.

The moment drew a roar from the audience as Wicks and Przystał delivered the number, which featured a mix of dance and candid interaction. The onscreen chemistry flowed into a real-world moment that quickly became the talk of the night, with fans and attendees sharing clips across social media and prompting a flurry of online chatter about their relationship status. The show unfolded in a high-energy atmosphere that blended music, comedy and live performance across a lineup anchored by Wicks and his Staying Relevant co host.

Midway through the program, Thompson teased his friend about his dating history, playfully labeling Wicks a predator and mimicking exaggerated T re x arms as the crowd laughed along. The banter underscored the pair’s dynamic as longtime collaborators who have evolved into one of reality television’s most visible live acts. Thompson’s jokes were part of a broader set that celebrated their friendship and highlighted the appeal of their public personas, as fans cheered every jab and punchline. The pair also used the moment to reference past relationships and shared anecdotes from years of collaboration across Made in Chelsea, The Only Way Is Essex and the reality formats that propelled their careers.

The night also included a notable onstage moment when Thompson achieved a Guinness World Record for the most balls caught on a Velcro suit while suspended in the air, a stunt that fed into the show’s carnival-like energy and kept the audience on its feet. Behind the scenes, the show featured a green room full of celebrities and industry figures, including Vicky Pattison, Rochelle Humes, Marvin Humes, and James Buckley, among others. The atmosphere painted a picture of a shifting entertainment landscape where reality TV alumni leverage live formats to reach large audiences beyond their original programs.

As the program continued, the evening’s centerpiece came into sharper focus with a surprise appearance by Jowita Przystał. Dressed in a white minidress, she joined Wicks for a final routine that had been kept under wraps for weeks. The pair rehearsed the number in secret ahead of the show, and the evening culminated with multiple onstage kisses during the performance, leaving the audience astonished and buzzing about the couple in the days that followed.

Przystał later appeared at the event’s after party alongside Wicks, fueling ongoing romance rumors as friends and family mingled with the duo and their guests. The after party extended the night’s energy and offered a glimpse into the social dynamic that has helped the Staying Relevant brand connect with fans, celebrities and peers in the entertainment world. The duo’s fans, who have followed their journeys across television and social media, appeared eager to see where this latest public moment might lead in terms of future collaborations and potential TV projects.

In the days following the O2 show, footage emerged of Wicks sharing a kiss with a blonde woman at a Mayfair restaurant, a moment that renewed questions about his private life amid ongoing public interest. Wicks has spoken in interviews about wanting to settle down, and his dating history has often been a topic of media coverage. The Mayfair footage added to the ongoing narrative around his personal life, though he has not issued a formal comment on the reports.

Beyond the romance chatter, the night reinforced the staying power of Wicks and Thompson as a brand. Wicks is widely regarded as a driving force behind Staying Relevant Productions, and the duo have repeatedly teased potential future projects that could take them beyond live performances. While some industry observers have expressed interest in a dedicated Wicks and Thompson television format, there has been no public confirmation of a greenlight. Friday’s O2 show underscored the appeal of their dynamic and suggested there is continued appetite among fans for more of their candid, unfiltered style. As the entertainment landscape evolves, the pair’s blend of humor, music, and celebrity intrigue positions them as a fixture in Culture & Entertainment coverage for the foreseeable future.
