Strictly’s Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova can’t stop smiling as they head home together after rehearsals

STRICTLY'S Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova could not stop smiling as they headed home together after rehearsals.

The Sun exclusively revealed how Nadiya, 32, and Kai, 26, were getting close in January after her split from her fiance.

Nadiya, 32, beamed as she left rehearsals with Kai and got into an awaiting taxi together.

She showed off her incredible figure wearing a white crop top and blue high-waisted jeans.

The mum-of-one looked trendy wearing a black varsity bomber jacket as she headed to the car.

Kai, who dressed in black, looked cheerful as he accompanied his co-star.

The duo were seen together for the first time since The Sun revealed their romance could be back on as they seemed 'closer than ever' as they rehearsed for a charity dance.

Nadiya split from footballer fiancé Matija Skarabot last year.

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.

Last February, Ukrainian-Slovenian Nadiya returned to Slovenia to be with her seven-year-old daughter Mila and to see her mum Larisa — who both live with defender Matija.

He helped throw a welcome party for Nadiya and even let her drive his Porsche.

But it would appear that Nadiya has eyes only for Kai.

She is touring the UK with him on the Strictly professionals tour for 36 dates.
