Strictly Come Dancing stars Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova appear to have confirmed their romance.
The professional dancers, who are currently on tour with the BBC show, reportedly grew close last year after Nadiya’s split from her footballer beau Matija Skarabot.
In photos published by The Sun, Kai and Nadiya were spotted kissing in the lobby of Newcastle’s Malmaison hotel.
An eyewitness told the publication: “They didn’t seem to care who could see them. It’s clear they’re massively loved up.”
Kai was partnered with presenter AJ Odudu in the last series of Strictly, while Nadiya teamed up with BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker.
A second source explained: “Nadiya has been single for a while and Kai was never dating AJ despite the rumours. So they were free agents when they got together. It also puts paid to talk of Dan and Nadiya — there was never a romance there.”
“It’s early days still but Kai and Nadiya are happy,” they added.
