Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington spotted KISSING proving romance is still ON as she unfollows fiance
STRICTLY pro Nadiya Bychkova cosied up to co-star Kai Widdrington as they reunited following her break in her homeland.
The pair seemed closer than ever as they rehearsed for a charity dance event, onlookers said.
“Nadiya and Kai appeared to be very much an item and their chemistry was palpable during the rehearsals — even when they weren’t dancing,” one commented.
“There were quiet moments when they hugged and shared a quick kiss. Nadiya and Kai seem very happy together. It is all very sweet.”
The pair took to the dancefloor on Saturday night at The Burrows Strictly Ball in Leeds.
The event helped to raise funds for a charity set up by former rugby player Rob Burrow, 39, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019.

Nadiya, 32, also danced with her Strictly partner, BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker, 45, at the event.
The Sun exclusively revealed how Nadiya and Kai, 26, were getting close in January when they were photographed kissing.
They smooched in a Newcastle hotel away from their Strictly co-stars.
Insiders said the pair became friends after Nadiya split from footballer fiancé Matija Skarabot last year, with Kai comforting her in the wake of the break-up.
Their relationship then developed into a romance.
