BBC Strictly Come Dancing stars Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova have reportedly "been dating for months" according to reports.
The pair have reportedly been seeing each other in secret while working together on the hit BBC show, reports Birmingham Live.
Romance rumours circulated around Kai and his first celebrity partner AJ Odudu since joining the series 19 after several years as a professional dancer on the American version Dancing With the Stars.

Sources close to the professional dancers have revealed how Kai and Nadiya have grown close since she split from her husband last year.
Nadiya was married to Slovenian football star, Matija Skarabot, who is the father of her children.
Now the professional dancer, who was paired with BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker this year, is reportedly growing closer to Kai.
Kai was paired up with Maisie Smith for the Strictly tour after the BBC EastEnders star replaced TV presenter AJ Odudu, who withdrew from the performances due to an injury.
Pictures have emerged of the pair embracing as they left a hotel together while on the live arena tour, which kicked off in Birmingham on January 20.
“It was low-key at first but they can’t help it now — they’re very much together," a source told the Sun.
"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.
“She handed him her bags, and together they went and checked into a room. It’s clear they’re a proper item.”
Nadiya Bychkova has been a Strictly professional dancer since 2017 in its 15th series.
Strictly Come Dancing Live 2022 is currently on tour and will conclude its string of performances at The O2 in London on February 13.
