Strictly stars Kai and Nadiya look loved-up as they enjoy a kiss during romantic dog walk

Strictly Come Dancing pro Nadiya Bychkova and her co-star Kai Widdrington look all loved up as they head out for a stroll with their pet bulldog.

They got soppy in front of adorable Snoopy as they shared a kiss or two on their romantic walk around west London.

Stopping for a late breakfast, it was all too much for the pup and they shared a taxi home instead of undertaking the slog back.

Dancers Nadiya, 33, and Kai, 27, held hands as they got some down time together - and things appear to be moving fast.

They began dating last year following Nadiya's sudden split from her fiancé Matija Škarabot.

But she says she can't wait for her future with the Strictly hunk, son of football manager and former Southampton star Tommy.

The Ukrainian says he has a lovely bond with her six-year-old daughter Mila - something so important to her.

Nadiya, who was partnered with Bros star Matt Goss in the most recent Strictly season, has previously revealed how the youngster "absolutely adores" Kai, and that he has proven himself to the youngster.

Now she has spilled on how excited she is for what's to come for herself and Kai.

She told OK! : "We are very happy where we are at the moment and I love being with Kai and being a mother. He's amazing with Mila and I can't wait for our future.

"For me, I've come from a tiny city in Ukraine all the way here and to give her a life in London – which is probably the best place in the world in terms of opportunity – it's great, to be honest."

In January, while appearing on Loose Women with Kai, Nadiya discussed how she had introduced Mila to him and admitted it "took some time" for the pair to bond but now Mila "adores" Kai.

The dancer became emotional as she described her daughter's bond with her new man.

She said: "It took quite some time, honestly, it's not easy. As you know you protect your child as much as you can.

"It took some time but he proved himself in all the possible ways," Nadiya said appearing to fight back tears as the audience gave an 'aww'.

Panellist Kaye Adams then asked Kai: "And what is Mila's nickname for you again?"

To which Kai revealed: "She calls me Kai Lemon Pie, she goes: 'Hi Kai Lemon Pie, bye Kai Lemon Pie!'," and laughed.

The loved-up couple were quizzed on how they ended up getting together.

Kai said: "When we dance together, it just works, it’s not often you get that.

"She is the best person I have ever danced with and I am not just saying that because she is my girlfriend."

And, spilling on their first date, Kai revealed: "I said, well you know, you're pretty. Pretty gorgeous. Do you want to go for dinner and stuff."

Nadiya and Kai were rumoured to be in a relationship for a number of months before they confirmed the news in April.

She later confirmed that she had been dating Kai since January, after she split from ex-fiancé in 2021.
