Who is Jowita Przystał? Meet Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer
Jowita is once again making her mark in the ballroom.
We're now back in the swing of things with Strictly Come Dancing, with Week 5 just around the corner. After a tense dance-off, there are now 11 celebrities left to take to the ballroom with their celebrity partners.
One such celebrity is TOWIE legend and reality TV personality Pete Wicks, who has been paired with 2022 Strictly winner Jowita Przystał.
With all his reality TV appearances, we already know a lot about Wicks, but what about Przystał?
Read on to get to know the professional dancer.

Celebrity partner: Pete Wicks
Jowita hails from Poland and you may already know her from The Greatest Dancer, the now-cancelled BBC dancing show that she competed on alongside partner Michael - and the pair went onto win the 2020 series. She fell in love with ballroom at the age of 11 and met Michael in 2013 at a dance summer camp in Kraków.
Together in 2014, the pair became the Polish Open Latin Champions and have performed aboard cruise ships in shows including Priscilla, Rock of Ages and Legally Blonde.
Given this pretty impressive CV, it's unsurprising that Przystal feels at home on the dancefloor.
What has Jowita said about Strictly Come Dancing?
Jowita is clearly excited to be a part of the show. Back in 2021, she described it as a dream, saying: "This is my biggest dream come true. No words can describe how I feel right now. I’m still pinching myself to check if this is real but I am beyond excited to be joining the Strictly Come Dancing family and I can’t wait to give all of my heart and soul on that dance floor!"
Given she's back here again in 2024, it's fair to say that's still true now.
She went on to win the show in her first season with a celebrity partner, picking up the Glitterball trophy in 2022 with Hamza Yassin, while in 2023 she was paired with Paralympian Jody Cundy.
Will she be part of a winning couple this year? It doesn't look likely so far, but who knows? This is Strictly: anything can happen!
