DANCER Nadiya Bychkova has said things are still frosty between her and ex Kai Widdrington and admitted: "We are not friends." The former Strictly couple began dating in 2022. Asked about the break-up, Nadiya, 35, 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." The two met on the show in 2021 and they are expected to dance together again in the coming weeks of the current series.

Nadiya and swimmer Tom Dean were this first couple to be voted off Strictly this year.
