Nadiya and Kai have been at the centre of romance rumours

Prior to that, Kai was also the focus of romance rumours during the last series of Strictly, with fans convinced he had started a relationship with his celeb partner, AJ Odudu.

Nadiya, meanwhile, has been married once before - to Russian dancer Sergey Konovaltsev. The former pair married back in 2013 but went their separate ways two years later.

During their romance, Nadiya and Matija rarely posted pictures of each other. However, the doting mum often gives fans an insight into her family moments with their daughter Mila.
