Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova speaks out after 'kissing' Kai Widdrington

Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova has broken her silence amid reports she is loved-up with Kai Widdrington.

The Ukrainian-Slovenian dancer, 32, is currently living her best life on the Strictly Live Tour, and rumours are rife that she’s dating Kai, 26, after splitting from her fiancé.

The two also appeared to confirm their relationship as they were ‘caught kissing’ in pictures obtained by The Sun.

However, Nadiya has taken to her Instagram to imply there is more to the story than meets the eye.

Sharing a sparkling snap of herself dancing on stage, Nadiya told her 133k followers: ‘Don’t believe everything that is reported in the papers, or what you see.’

She continued: ‘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. ??’

Nadiya concluded: ‘If you’re coming to the tour, I look forward to seeing you there.❣️’

Ever the supportive pal, BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker – who competed with Nadiya in the 2021 series – was quick to comment: ‘Have a brilliant show tonight partner ???,’ the lobster emoji a nod to their unforgettable Halloween routine.

Fans were also keen to offer their support for the Guinness World Record holder, with one writing: ‘Keep dancing, keep shining. The world knows your grace, beauty and extraordinary talent. And we are lucky enough to know your kindness.’

Another added: ‘It’s no others business!! Be happy bugger anyone else opinion!’

Nadiya and Kai have been subject to romance rumours throughout the tour, following reports that Nadiya is no longer with Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot, 33, with whom she shares a five-year-old daughter.

It’s been said that long distance and hectic schedules were contributing factors to their separation, but the star has been spotted still wearing her engagement ring on several occasions.

A source told MailOnline that they haven’t been together ‘for some time now’ but ‘there’s still a lot of love and respect between them and Mila is and always will be their priority.’

Meanwhile Kai – who was partnered with TV presenter AJ Odudu last year – is yet to comment on reports he is dating the mum-of-one.

The rest of the Strictly stars – including winner Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice and runners up John Whaite and Johannes Radebe – are currently travelling up and down the country to perform 33 shows.

After completing their run in Newcastle last night, the cast will bring glitter and glamour to Manchester tonight.
