Strictly's Nadiya and Kai caught sharing a kiss at NTAs in rare red carpet PDA

Loved up Strictly couple Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington were pictured having a rare PDA moment as they were spotted among the famous faces at the National Television Awards in London last night.

The pair were pictured hand in hand before cosying up for a kiss in front of the camera as they left the star-studded NTA event at Wembley's OVO Arena in London.

33-year-old Nadiya looked stunning as she wore a strapless champagne dress with rhinestone embellishment that hugged her toned dancer frame. Her long blonde hair was tied up loosely. Looking smart beside her, Kai, 27, donned a black tuxedo and bow tie for the occasion as she left hand in hand with his girlfriend.

The pair first announced they were a couple in April, with Nadiya revealing she and Kai had been dating "for a couple of months now".

Speaking to the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, the Ukrainian-born pro added: "It's early days and we've been rehearsing for the Strictly Professionals tour, so there's been very little free time. But we're getting to know more and more about each other day by day. He's kind and compassionate and makes me laugh. I feel very relaxed with him."

However, the shy pair have kept their relationship away from the public eye until July, when the dancers appeared ready to be open about their relationship online.

In June, the pair revealed to MailOnline that they were "very happy".

Before the new series of Strictly began, the pair also shared cute snaps as they waited backstage. The lovebirds shared sweet snaps to their social media, where Kai could be seen kissing Nadiya's cheek as the pair posed in their Strictly outfits.

However, being a couple in the same dance competition does come with its issues, and the pair have already had to face each other in a dance off.

In the first elimination, Nadiya and partner Matt Goss and Kai with partner Kaye Adams found themselves going head-to-head in a bid to stay in the dance competition.

Unfortunately for Kai and Kaye, they were eliminated as the judges chose to save Nadiya and Matt.
