Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova's fiancé is reportedly planning to win her back following her shock affair with fellow dancer Kai Widdrington.
The 31-year-old Ukranian dancer is currently engaged to 34-year-old Slovenian footballer Matija Skarabot and they share a five-year-old daughter named Mila together.
But Nadiya and Matija's relationship has been rocked in recent weeks amid reports she enjoyed a fling with 26-year-old fellow Strictly pro dancer Kai – with the pair being snapped kissing last month.
While it initially looked like love was well and truly over for Nadiya and Matija, it seems the footballer isn't giving up on the relationship without a fight and is said to be planning a full scale campaign to win his lover back.
A source told The Sun that Matija threw Nadiya a huge welcome home party as she returned to Slovenia following the completion of the recent Strictly Live Tour in the UK.
Nadiya was reportedly showered with gifts including flowers and £135 bottles of champagne.
A source told The Sun: “Nadiya has been away for months, but has missed her family desperately, especially her daughter. After the tour she couldn’t wait to get back to them and see everyone.
“It’s tricky for her being with Kai. Everything back home is still as it was before. Her mum lives with her ex-fiance in the same house and Nadiya still even drives his car.
“As far as everyone is concerned in Slovenia, people think they’re still together. It looks as though she will fly back and forth to make things work, but she still sees Slovenia as home so it’s going to be rather difficult."
There could yet be trouble ahead, however, as Nadiya will soon be torn away from Slovenia to take part in rehearsals for the upcoming Strictly The Professionals Live Tour.
The show is set to kick off at the end of April and will see the cast dancing in venues up and down the UK through until the very end of May.
While Nadiya is one of the top billing dancers on the tour, the BBC have highlighted that another person taking part is none other than: "World Junior Latin American Champion & 2021 Strictly finalist Kai Widdrington."
Despite being photographed locking lips with Kai, Nadiya attempted to downplay rumours of an affair when she addressed fans and followers in light of the damning evidence.
Taking to Instagram amid the furore, the dancer wrote: "Don’t believe everything that is reported in the papers, or what you see.
"I love to dance and that’s what I’m here to do. The warmth and kindness I feel from the audience every night makes it worth it."
The star added: "If you’re coming to the tour, I look forward to seeing you there."
More recently, however, Nadiya has shared a photograph of herself sitting with her child while they enjoyed some mother-daughter time now she is back in Slovenia.
Sharing a snap of herself receiving a kiss from her little girl, Nadiya wrote: "You are my everything" – alongside a white heart and a dove emoji.
