BBC Strictly couple Kai and Nadiya introduce their 'latest addition' after keeping happy news quiet

Strictly Come Dancing stars Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova have shared some joyous news away from the famous dancefloor as they introduced the 'latest addition' to their family unit. The smitten couple proudly showed fans their adorable pet bulldog as they posed outdoors with their fluffy bundle, who has his own dedicated social media for fans to follow his adventures.

The real-life couple, who a couple of weeks ago faced each other as professional dancers on the first Strictly dance-off of the 2022 series, were all smiles as they cuddled the pup, named Snoopy. The loved-up pair, who opened up about their blossoming relationship after they were snapped holding hands in Manchester following the opening night of the Strictly Professionals tour at The Lowry Theatre in Salford in April, were flooded with messages of congratulations.

"We have managed to keep it quiet for a week now whilst our latest edition has settled in… but everyone please welcome “SNOOPY' Kai wrote in a joint Instagram post.

Following the results show, Nadiya took to Instagram with a loving message to her man.

"It’s always tough to be in the first ever dance off of the series and it was especially tough to be in there against the amazing @kayeadamsofficial and of course my [love heart emoji] @kaiwidd," the dancer typed. "I’m gutted for you both @kayeadamsofficial you are really a superstar and I absolutely adore you. You did an incredible job and I’m sure from what you told me you had and amazing strictly experience with @kaiwidd."
