Surprising Connection
Strictly Come Dancing bosses were caught off guard by the unexpected bond forming between former England rugby star Danny Cipriani and professional dancer Jowita Przystal. The pair were recently revealed as partners for the show's Christmas special.
Fast-Paced Friendship
Danny, who recently announced his separation from wife Victoria Rose, quickly developed a close relationship with Jowita. Photos of the pair together during training and in public have been circulating.
A Sensational Pairing
A source within the show described the pairing of Danny and Jowita as "sensational." The producers of Strictly Come Dancing are reportedly surprised by how quickly the two dancers have connected.
A Growing Trend
Danny and Jowita are just the latest in a long line of stars and professional dancers who have grown closer due to the intense rehearsal sessions. Their chemistry is expected to make them one of the standout couples of this year's festive special.
Incessant Training
Following their first meeting and rehearsal, Danny and Jowita were spotted together on Wednesday night. They are now expected to spend countless hours in the studio preparing for the festive special, which will be filmed in two weeks and broadcast on Christmas Day.
Previous Relationships
Danny, known for his high-profile relationships with Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan, and models Katie Price and Kelly Brook, tied the knot with Victoria in 2021. Jowita, on the other hand, recently ended her relationship with fellow Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice.
Christmas Special Tradition
It's not uncommon for celebrities who have participated in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special to later join the main series. Past contestants who made the leap include Blue pop star Simon Webbe, BBC presenter Helen Skelton, and Bros singer Matt Goss.
Other Participants
In addition to Danny and Jowita, historian Dan Snow, BBC Breakfast host Sally Nugent, and EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick have also been confirmed as participants in this year's Christmas special. The show's spokesperson declined to comment on Danny and Jowita's connection.
