BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Kai Widdrington and Naidya Bychkova in stunning loved-up display as they hit the red carpet together

Strictly Come Dancing lovebirds Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova put on a united display as they stepped out together on the red carpet for the first time. The professional dancers got tongues wagging following the end of the 2021 series of the BBC One dance contest.

Nadiya almost made it to the final of the competition alongside former BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker while Kai suffered heartbreak when his celebrity partner Aj Odudu suffered an injury which forced her out of the final back in December. But it appears love blossomed as the dancing pair were soon the subject of romance rumours.

It came after 32-year-old Nadiya was said to have split from fiancé, Slovenian footballer Matija Skarabot, last year. And earlier this year Nadiya and Kai were all smiles as they held hands in Manchester. The pair were snapped after they completed the opening night of the Strictly Professionals tour at The Lowry Theatre in Salford in April.
