During her time on the show, Przystal was linked to Pete, as well as fellow professional dancer Vito Coppola, who was paired with Miranda actress Sarah Hadland. It was confirmed that Pete chose not to take part in the dancing tour due to other commitments.
When his former dance partner, Jowita, appeared on his podcast, Staying Relevant, he referred to the dancer's closeness with Jamie. He asked: "If you weren't dancing with me, who would you want to dance with? ... And it doesn't have to be who's left, it could be people who have gone."
He continued: "If you couldn't dance with me, who would you like to dance with? I know the answer to this… 100 per cent, Jamie." In response, Jowita said: "Well probably. I knew him from the Christmas special and we get on very well."
The dancing tour, which started in January this year, will continue through to early February, with dates in Manchester, Nottingham and London, with the tour coming to an end of February 9 at the O2 Arena.
