Nadiya Bychkova wows in VERY racy costumes on stage with beau Kai Widdrington

Strictly Come Dancing stars Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington showed off their incredible chemistry on the latest date of their Once Upon A Time tour.

The Strictly pros took to the stage at the Billingham Forum Theatre in Teesside on Thursday to perform a number of sizzling routines.

Nadiya, 33, looked gorgeous in a series of racy costumes, flashing her long legs in a hot pink mini dress before changing into a plunging gold gown.

Kai, 27, looked besotted with his stunning girlfriend as the got close for some sultry routines.

The couple say they are living the ‘dream fairytale’ after falling in love on Strictly Come Dancing.

The couple, who have been dating since January last year, told MailOnline this week that their romance is ‘incredibly special’ because the chemistry they share on stage is real.

In an exclusive interview, Nadiya, 33, and Kai, 27, revealed despite public misconception, they are yet to take their year-long relationship to the next level and move in together as they admit it is ‘difficult’ being under the watchful gaze of their loyal fanbase.

Nadiya, who shares daughter Mila with ex-fiancée Matija Škarabot, explained that it took herself and Kai some time to establish their feelings for each other, while Strictly viewers were keen to discover if they had become the show’s first professional pairing to find love on the dance floor.

She said: ‘At the beginning we were still figuring it out for ourselves! It is easier now in the sense that everyone knows we’re together but having a relationship in the public eye is tough.’

Kai added: ‘Everything is scrutinised,’ before Nadiya continued, ‘but there are some positives, we get to do what we love, and create the show, so it’s how you balance it.’

The Strictly pros did everything possible to hide their new relationship when they first started dating in January 2022, admitting they would even go out ‘in disguise’ to protect their blossoming romance.

But now the couple have no reason to hold back. Kai said: ‘For us, we are living the absolute dream fairytale. We are trying to take it all in really.’

‘It is very special touring together because it makes it easier… we are together, we share everything together, and it’s very special,’ Nadiya revealed.

 ‘I remember the opening night when our tour all came together, and I was like “wow” it’s an incredible moment and we got to share it together. It is rare.’

Nadiya explained that audiences including former Strictly contestant and EastEnders star Maisie Smith enjoy watching the pair’s romantic chemistry come to life on stage because they can see their feelings go beyond the performance.

She said: ‘Maisie came to see the show and usually you watch a performance and they’re not romantically together, which is still beautiful, but for us we’re actually together, and to see that on stage… it’s real.

‘We do let people more in with our show because it’s very personal. We get to tell them a lot more about us as a couple and how dance bought us together. Once Upon a Time… the name definitely gives it away.’

While their relationship has been a whirlwind, Kai confirmed that the couple are yet to move in together and much like in the early stages of their dating, they still plan on keeping the intimate details of their relationship away from the spotlight.

Kai said: ‘We aren’t living together… everyone thinks we are. We do try and keep our private life as private as we can.

‘At the same time, we are aware that we’re in the public eye. We are trying to be as private as we can. It is what we tried to do at the very beginning and we’re trying to do that still now.

‘It is no secret to everyone that we are together, but we aren’t going to have anyone dictate what we should and shouldn’t do and give us a timeline.’
