She may be fairly new to the Strictly family, but you might recognise Jowita as the 2020 winner of The Greatest Dancer. Her victory saw her perform in the Ballroom that same year, before joining our line-up for good in 2021!

Jowita has had a super successful career in dance, beginning at the age of 12 and going on to become the Polish Open Latin Champion. In 2015 she ended her competitive career to join touring dance company Burn The Floor, where she performed around the world for four years before coming to the UK.

During her time on The Greatest Dancer she was mentored by and performed with our very own Oti Mabuse, getting the best introduction to the Strictly life possible! Her first celebrity partner was wildlife cameraman and CBeebies star Hamza Yassin, and they danced their way to Glitterball glory, winning the show in 2022.

She returns in 2023, dancing with Paralympian Jody Cundy, in the hopes to retain her title!
