Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington 'planning Valentine's trip' after tour

Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington are planning on jetting off on holiday to spend Valentine's Day together after confirming their secret romance, reports claim.

The professional dancers have their sights set on the Canary Islands to have some time alone together after the tour.

The Sun was told by a source close to Nadiya, 32: "The tour finishes on February 13 so they’ll be just in time. They’re keen to have some time together alone."

The couple were spotted sharing a kiss in a bar on Thursday after rumours had been circulating that they were more than pals.

The whispers began after Nadiya split from her fiancé Matija Škarabot, who is said to be "furious" about the speculation.

According to the publication, Nadiya left her former husband-to-be "months ago".

Nadiya and 26-year-old Kai were spotted in the lobby of Malamaison hotel in Newcastle having an intimate moment.

Ukrainian ballroom and Latin American dancer Nadiya, was seen leaving a hotel in Gateshead and getting in a taxi to meet Kai at his hotel.

After the pair spent some time together on their secret date, they rejoined the other dancers at the Strictly live tour.

A source told The Sun: "They didn't seem to care who could see them. It's clear they're massively loved up."

"Nadiya and Kai met away from the other dancers and celebrities, who were a mile up the road in the Travelodge. She had bought Kai a coffee from Starbucks next door and they talked and cuddled before having a kiss."

Last week Nadiya and Kai's behaviour had "raised eyebrows", especially after Kai and AJ Ododu were thought to be getting closer after dancing on the show together.

The source added to the publication: "AJ and Kai got really close during the show and their chemistry was electric.

"She's obviously gutted not to be on the tour while her ankle heals and she is shocked that Kai has already seemingly moved on by comforting Nadiya.

"Nadiya is incredibly flirty and it has certainly raised eyebrows.

"AJ was also not happy when she then heard about Nadiya flirting with her own dance partner Dan Walker."

AJ and Kai were rumoured to be getting on very well and even teased a kiss during their romantic Waltz in November.

For Nadiya, her celebrity partner Dan had been a "pillar of strength and support" after she split from Matija.

A source told the MailOnline: "Dan and Nadiya have such a great bond and he has been a pillar of strength and support for her following the breakup with Matija."

The Mirror have reached out to Nadiya and Kai's representatives for comment.
