PitR's
While I can well understand your scepticism you know as well as anybody that airlines don't generally reveal their plans through "hints" before announcements are made.
A month ago easyJet's Director of UK Marketing said "We're keen to continue adding more varied routes to our (Southend) schedule." and Wizzair responded with a "watch this space" comment to an enquirer who asked about services to SEN. Now either (or both) of those could result in nothing at all but reports that Wizzair have shown serious interest in SEN cannot be accurately described as "fake news".
