Strictly Come Dancing's Jowita Przystal has admitted her future on the BBC ballroom series is up in the air, as she attended the TV Choice Awards in London on Monday. 

The professional dancer, 31, who previously sparked rumours she could be quitting the show, revealed she hopes to return - but confessed she is unsure, as she plans an extensive year of travelling. 

Speaking to Daily Mail's Laura Fox ahead of the ceremony about her future on the series, she said: 'I mean, I hope so, because I still don't know if I'm back, 

'So hopefully i'm back with Strictly, but the tour is coming up, I'm planning a lot of travelling this year. Actually, so, at the moment I'm living out of a suitcase. 

'But it's good, because normally I don't really have time to do that. So I think 2026 is the year of travelling for me.'

Ahead of the awards ceremony, Jowita looked nothing short of sensational as she took to the red carpet, posing for a series of stunning snaps.
