DANCER Nadiya Bychkova has revealed things are still frosty between her and ex Kai Widdrington, admitting: "We are not friends."

The former Strictly Come Dancing couple began dating in 2022 but split earlier this year. Asked about the breakup and if they were friends, Nadiya said: "We work together but we are not friends, and that's OK.

"One thing I can tell you is that when you see me dancing with him it will be amazing because I'm a professional."

She declined to comment further on their break-up. The former couple, who met on the show in 2021, have not previously spoken about their split and are expected to be dancing together again in the coming months.
