Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova claims she's been labelled a 'seductress' amid new romance

Strictly Come Dancing ’s Nadiya Bychkova claims she's been labelled a 'seductress' but insists she's a 'normal woman'.

The 32-year-old Ukrainian-born dancer recently split from her fiancé, Slovenian footballer Matija Skarabot - who is dad to her six-year-old daughter Mila - and has been pictured getting close with fellow pro dancer Kai Widdrington.

The hot new couple have been spotted cosying up while on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, and on Friday, they were captured kissing in the lobby of Newcastle's Malmaison hotel.

Nadiya’s relationship with her celebrity dancing partner Dan Walker was also the subject of speculation last year, as insiders told The Sun he was “like a schoolboy” around the blonde bombshell.

However, the professional dancer has dismissed rumours about her love life, and the former Playboy model insisted she was just a “normal woman”.

“When I came to a new environment in London, I was immediately labelled a model, Ukrainian beauty and seductress,” she told Slovenian Nova magazine.

“It took me a while to realise that I am also a successful dancer, a mum, and a completely normal woman,” Nadiya stated.

The dancer has been spotted wearing her engagement ring from footballer Matija, despite calling time on their relationship late last year.

She previously dated dancer Miha Vodicar, but their romance came to an end in 2010, when she began dating male model Peter Klinc, who she was partnered with on the Slovenian version of Strictly.

Despite their blossoming relationship, they parted ways after 18 months, and Nadiya found love with Slovenian singer Jan Plestenjak, who is 15 years her senior.

Less than a year later, they broke up despite rumours of an engagement, and she began dating Russian pro dancer Sergey Konovaltsev.

They wed after less than a year together, but sadly split, with Nadiya moving on with business tycoon Anze Cerin.

They split after just a few months together, and one year later, she was spotted with footballer Matija, and was expecting their first child.

Kai sparked speculation he was dating dance partner AJ Odudu while competing on last year’s Strictly, but their rumoured romance fizzled out when she was forced to drop out of the Strictly final - and the subsequent live tour - due to an ankle injury.
