Jowita Przystał joinedLorraineon the sofa this morning with her Strictly Come Dancingpartner, Ross King. This weekend, it was revealed the two would be paired up for the upcoming series during the BBC launch show.

However, it wasn't the only revelation over the weekend. During a special live show for Pete and pal Sam Thompson's Staying Relevant podcast at the 02 arena,Pete and Jowita shared a steamy kiss while performing a dance they had been saving for the BBC show's final – which they narrowly missed out on.

The pair were seen sharing a kiss three times during the performance, sending the audience into waves of cheers. Many believed the two had finally confirmed their romance, however, it was later reported that Pete was seen 'locking lips with a mystery woman'at The Maine Mayfair in London.

Lorraine couldn't help but mention Jowita and Pete's steamy on stage kiss during her interview on Monday morning, as she remarked: "I love Pete Wicks, he's an angel. But last year, you took someone who really couldn't dance and you made him look good! He got so far in the competition."

She then added: "I know you saw him at the weekend! And you know what, you did really well with him, you really did."

Jowita, dodging the 'you saw him at the weekend' comment, replied to the host: "Aww, thank you! It's the hard work, and I think the commitment you put in, that's all that matters. The celebrities, come from all different backgrounds and they all have different abilities.

"That's okay, but the beauty of that show is to take someone who has no idea and no clue how to dance, and then to go out and perform. It's quite overwhelming, but also beautiful.

"To see the smile after each dance we do, to see the smile on the face, it makes me feel like I'm in the right place at the right time, and I'm doing the best job ever."

Elsewhere, Ross and Jowita confirmed they'd be dancing to Katy Perry's California Girls when the live shows kick off this Saturday.

"I'm loving every single minute of it, I really am," Ross said about the rehearsals.

Despite his enthusiasm,Ross was dealt a huge blow just hours before the launch show, as it was revealed he was the least likely to win the show, with 66/1 odds to triumph on the programme.

Chris Robshaw, former rugby star, sits at 50/1 to win and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is at 33/1 to win.

At the other end of the scale, Lewis Cope - who starred as Nicky Miligan - is favourite to win the show, with odds at 5/2 and former Love Island star Dani Dyer and model Ellie Goldstein are in joint second place, with 9/2 odds a piece.
