Strictyl pro Nadiya Bychkova spends time with rumoured beau Kai Widdrington
Strictly professionals Nadiya Bychkova and her rumoured love interest Kai Widdrington were spotted out in Leeds City Centre ahead of Wednesday evening’s live tour.
Their joint appearance comes amid swirling rumours that Nadiya, 32, and her co-star Kai, 26, are ‘very much together’ following her split from fiancé Matija Škarabot.
Nadiya couldn’t hide her delight while stepping out with Kai, as she flashed a broad grin during her outing with the hunky pro dancer, who joined the show during the most recent series.
The Ukrainian-Slovenian dancer has been spotted with and without her engagement ring in recent days after calling off her marriage to Matija, 33, however on Thursday she appeared to have it firmly on.
During the outing, Nadiya wrapped up for the chilly winter weather in a blue and cream plaid jacket, which she teamed with a pair of skinny blue jeans and thigh- high suede grey boots.
She also added a grey baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses to her look.

Another added: ‘Kai was outside the hotel for about 15 minutes and waited until everyone else in the touring party had checked in — but Nadiya came along a short while later.’

The dancer is single after ending her engagement to Slovenian footballer Matija, as exclusively revealed by MailOnline this month.
