A third commented: "The chemsitry is [flame emojis]," and a fourth posted that they thought the routine was quite "steamy".
However, there were strong remarks from Craig Revel Horwood, who noted an "illegal lift" in the routine and even seemingly indicated that Pete should be disqualified for the move!
It wasn't just viewers who were flustered, with the judges also noticing sparks flying on the dancefloor. During xx critique, they noted: "
The pair have been linked for weeks, and Pete declared that Jowita makes him "really happy every day" on his Staying Relevant podcast. "I can't sit here and go, 'She's my life' - we don't know each other that well. But what I do know is that she makes me feel good."
Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood has also weighed in on the speculation. Discussing the fan reaction about the pair's sizzling chemistry, the TV judge told Best Magazine: "There is a lot of giggling going on and chumminess with Pete and Jowita."
He added: "It's probably due to the fact he's a bit of a card - he's very funny. Their chemistry will make for some fab-u-lous dances I'm sure of it!"
Pete's close friend, Sam Thompson, has even joked that Pete "loves" Jowita, before clarifying that this was meant in a platonic way.
Pete has, however, downplayed rumours that the pair are an item. Speaking on his podcast, he vented: "You wake up on a Sunday morning and it's stories that haven't even happened.
"For example, during the choreography, there's been a story going around for two weeks saying me and Jowita kissed during the dance. Everyone watched it on TV! [The media] called it a 'passionate kiss', it's the choreography!"
