Strictly's Kai makes surprise admission to pro dancers on Nadiya romance

Strictly Come Dancing's Kai Widdrington made a surprise admission about his girlfriend Nadiya Bychkova during the latest episode of spin-off It Takes Two.

The couple – who are understood to have begun dating earlier this year – shared details on their romance with fans during a Q&A round on the BBC Two show.

The Strictly professionals were invited to take part in the game What’s The Dancer, which saw Kai, 27, admit the one thing he places above Nadiya, 33.

Kai’s fellow professional dancers were asked to fill in the blank: "The most important thing in Kai's life is ___"

Giovanni Pernice offered the guess of 'food', as he opened up about previously living with Kai.

He said: "We were flatmates and I know exactly what I'm talking about. Food! Food. Probably more food."

However, girlfriend Nadiya then said, "Me!", as Dianne Buswell and Nikita Kuzmin also guessed it was Nadiya.

"They are in love!," Amy Dowden added, before Gorka Marquez said: "Definitely Kai will say Nadiya. If not he will be sleeping on the sofa!"

Cameron added: "They just can't seem to leave each other alone,” however Nadiya then admitted she isn't the number one thing in his life after all as she said: "He's obsessed with golf. Yep."

Kai admitted: "Playing golf on a Sunday. Of course guys. What else did you think it would be? Do you wanna join me for a game because it's just me at the moment."

Katya said: "Get a life my friend!” before Nikita added: "You might be in trouble mate..."

This comes after the pair both celebrated their respective birthdays amid a romantic trip to Paris earlier this year.

Kai took to Instagram yesterday to pay tribute to Nadiya on her birthday, sharing photos alongside a heartfelt caption about the fellow professional dancer.

Kai wrote in the caption of his post: "Happy birthday my baby girl." The professional dancer further commented: "Thank you for being the beautiful person that you are".

"I'm reminded everyday by your smiles and laughs that we have together of how lucky I am to have you in my life. You are my everything," he added alongside a heart emoji.

The post included photos of the couple together, including selfies which appeared to have been taken from their visit to France.

It came just a day after he celebrated his own birthday, which saw Nadiya pay tribute to her boyfriend with a post on her Instagram account for the special occasion.

She wrote: "You make this world a better place because of the person you are. I am so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for making me smile every day. Thank you for you".
