Strictly's David James kisses Nadiya Bychkova in the street after crashing out

Strictly Come Dancing 's David James looked very cosy with his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova as they were snapped holding hands and kissing.

As they left the It Takes Two studios, the pair walked hand-in-hand towards their cars.

The pair looked closer than ever as they headed home after chatting about the former England goalkeeper's exit from the show on the daily spin-off.

Nadiya, who is reportedly dating Slovenian footballer Matij Skarabot, looked stunning as she stepped out in a tight-fitting low-cut red dress with a silk-lined black blazer and nude heels.

And single David looked handsome in a maroon suit, white shirt and trainers.

The duo, who were sent home by the judges in Sunday night's results show, held hands as they walked along in front of photographers.

As they parted ways, David wrapped his arm around Nadiya and planted a kiss on her cheek to say goodbye.

Nadiya was also pictured turning to blow David a kiss as he walked down the street behind her.

David was sent packing after a dance-off with Mike Bushell, but he was quick to praise Nadiya after their work together.

He said: "Nadiya's dedication and how much this meant to her as well, meant more to me.

"It wasn't just a pro with a celeb going through a routine."

He continued: "Being out of the competition wasn't just me, it was Nadiya being out, I know how much she wanted to be in it as well.

"Really sad I couldn't extend her journey."

David also said he had struggled to concentrate on his routines and enjoy performing them at the same time.

He said: "One thing that has been really challenging is that I was supposed to enjoy it.

"And when I enjoy it I make mistakes, and when I make mistakes I get punished in the scoring."

David and Nadiya appeared to get in separate cars after leaving the studios.

Mirror Online has contacted David and Nadiya's representatives for comment.
