Strictly Come Dancing favourite Jowita Przystal has spoken out to calm fans’ fears after a recent social media post sparked speculation that she might be stepping away from the hit BBC ballroom show.
The Polish professional dancer, admired for her powerful technique and radiant on-screen presence, took to Instagram to clear up the confusion after followers interpreted her emotional message as a possible goodbye to Strictly.
Addressing the rumours directly, Jowita reassured fans that she has no plans to leave the show, stressing her continued love for dance and her commitment to Strictly. Her heartfelt update was intended to put minds at ease, confirming that she remains fully dedicated to her role as a professional partner and performer.
Fans quickly responded with relief and excitement, flooding her comments with supportive messages. Many admitted they had feared the worst after reading her earlier post, while others thanked her for being open and honest about her intentions.
Jowita has become one of Strictly’s standout professionals since joining the show, making history by becoming the first female pro to win in her debut season. Her memorable partnerships — including with Hamza Yassin and most recently Pete Wicks — have helped cement her status as one of the programme’s most popular dancers.
Her appearance alongside Pete Wicks on It Takes Two has also fuelled speculation about a possible off-screen romance, though Jowita has kept her focus firmly on the dance floor, choosing not to address the rumours directly.
While she stopped short of confirming how many future series she plans to take part in, Jowita’s message offered much-needed clarity for concerned fans, making it clear that she is grateful for their support and focused on the present.
As the current Strictly season continues, viewers can rest assured that Jowita Przystal remains very much part of the Strictly family — and her reassurance has given fans plenty to smile about. 💃✨
