Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks finally confirmed their romance on Monday night at the Pride Of Britain Awards after-party.
The Love Island icon, 33, and the Strictly star, 36, were spotted sharing a sweet kiss at the Red Bar at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London as they partied into the early hours of the morning.
Confirmation of their relationship comes after Maura baffled fans as she looked cozy with Kai Widdrington during the awards.
Maura and Pete, who were first linked in August, have kept a low profile, but during the star-studded event they shared a tender moment in the corner.
Maura was seen giving Pete a kiss on the nose before the pair packed on the PDA and shared a kiss on the lips.
Maura Higgins and Pete Wicks finally confirmed their romance on Monday night at the Pride Of Britain Awards after-party.
The Love Island icon, 33, and the Strictly star, 36, were spotted sharing a sweet kiss at the Red Bar at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London as they partied into the early hours.
Hours earlier, Maura raised her eyebrows when she was seen getting down and dirty with Kai at the hotel.
Kai, 29, and Maura seemed very close as they joked around after the ceremony, with the professional dancer hugging the presenter tightly.
At one point, Kai appeared to spin Maura around before heading into a different room together.
Kai is believed to be currently single following his split from professional partner Nadiya Bychkova.
However, Pete and Maura seemed smitten after fueling romance rumors for months after they were spotted kissing outside the Broadwick Hotel in Soho in August while enjoying an alfresco lunch.
The day before the couple kissed in public, Pete showed off his impressive Strictly moves while dancing with Maura in a new TikTok video.
As Pete showed off his muscles by lifting Maura up by her leg in a daring move, she fell into his arms and the two looked into each other’s eyes. Maura captioned the clip: “A few concussions later…”
Pete and Maura were previously seen together enjoying a night out at The Ship in Wandsworth alongside their Strictly pals.
One viewer exclusively told MailOnline that the pair were inseparable, whispering in each other’s ears and even locking their legs together as they enjoyed a drink alongside Wynne Evans, Tom Dean and Jamie Borthwick.
The witness shared: “They were on top of each other, I was surprised to see them so close because I thought he had real chemistry with Jowita.
“At one point, they were basically straddling each other and didn’t seem to care at all that people could see them.
‘You’d think Pete would be more worried about Tom given he’d just been kicked off Strictly but he only had eyes for Maura all night!’
MailOnline has contacted Maura and Pete’s representatives for comment.

Maura broke her silence on romance rumors with Pete last month as she supported him and his best friend Sam Thompson (pictured) with a funny t-shirt on her podcast show.
Maura also showed her support for Pete when she attended his Staying Relevant podcast tour wearing a t-shirt with his face on it.
The model donned a personalized t-shirt that featured a photo of the couple kissing outside the hotel and added the words “We can’t be friends” written in block letters across the front of her chest.
She posed with an arm around Pete’s best friend Sam Thompson in the snap, which she captioned: “Hilarious night… you destroyed it @samthompson @stayingrelevantpodcast.”
Last year, the couple were filmed getting cozy at Grosvenor House in London.
In the clip, recorded in October 2023, Maura and Pete huddled together in the corner of a room, apparently taking selfies with Maura’s phone.
They were seen gazing into each other’s eyes during what appeared to be a deep conversation, with Maura flashing a big smile at the reality star as she waved her arms during the chat.
Their meeting happened a year before Maura, who split from her boyfriend, American stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, earlier this year, put her arms around Pete’s neck and kissed him during their recent romantic lunch together.
