Strictly Come Dancing co-stars Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have been photographed snogging in a hotel, just days after insisting there was no romance between them.
The professional dancers could be seen in a hotel foyer trading kisses as they sat on a blue sofa in photographs obtained by The Sun, both wearing hats and jackets. Nadiya had her blonde hair tugged up in a grey baseball cap, while Kai tucked his under a black beanie.
With Nadiya, 32, in a blue-and-white checked coat and Kai, 26, wearing a grey sweatshirt and black leather backpack, the pair were later papped in the same outfits out on the street, with Nadiya grinning from ear-to-ear after the kiss.
The pair were spotted in a hotel bar during a half hour visit the the Malmaison in Newcastle on Thursday.

A source told the publication: “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.”
They added: “They didn’t seem to care who could see them. It’s clear they are massively loved up.”

The source added that the pair “didn’t want anyone gossiping” but have been “so overt” with their displays of affection that they “might as well have […] saved the journey” and kissed in view of the other Strictly dancers on tour.
Both Nadiya and Kai are currently single, with Nadiya having split from footballer beau Matija Skarabot last year.
Nadiya has been spotted with and without her engagement ring whilst on the Strictly tour – usually accompanied by Kai. The dancer is said to have “supported” Nadiya following her split from Matija – with the pair said to have “incredible chemistry” with one another.

Strictly judge Shirley Ballas hinted at the possibility of the Strictly curse hitting after the 2021 series – though apparently not between dancers and celebs this time.
She said whilst on this year’s Strictly tour: “I don’t really know what’s going on to be honest. It’s not my place to say.”
Nadiya, of course, was partnered with BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker for the 2021 series, while Kai teamed up with AJ Odudu for what looked set to be a winning partnership before AJ was ruled out of the competition due to injury.
