BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Kai makes admission about girlfriend Nadiya as pros say he's 'in love'

Strictly Come Dancing's pro Kai Widdrington has made a surprising admission about his girlfriend, fellow professional dancer Nadiya Bychkov. During Wednesday night's (Oct 26) episode of BBC2's spinoff Strictly It Takes Two, called 'What's The Dancer?', viewers were given some insight into the couple's relationship.

Many of the hit BBC show's pro dancers were taken aback as Kai revealed the one thing he could not live without - which he places above even Nadiya in importance. The pair have been together romantically since at least this year, and Ukrainian-Slovenian Nadiya, 33, has not been shy about sharing aspects of her relationship with Kai, 27, publicly.

At one point of the episode, Kai's fellow pro dancers were asked to fill in the blank: "The most important thing in Kai's life is ________." They all made suggestions as to what it could be, including 'food' and of course 'Nadiya', as reported by YorkshireLive.

Both Giovanni Pernice and Karen Hauer said 'food', with the latter adding how 'that boy can eat' as Giovanni opened up on the time he lived with Kai. He said: "We were flatmates and I know exactly what I'm talking about. Food! Food. Probably more food."

Meanwhile, Nadiya, guessed: "Me!" Co-dancers Dianne Buswell and Nikita Kuzmin also said 'Nadiya'. "They are in love," Amy Dowden announced as she put in a vote in the 'Nadiya' column.

Gorka Marquez added: "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, it turned out that there is actually one thing Kai treasures more than his partner and food - golf. "He's obsessed with golf. Yep," Nadiya revealed.

Kai confessed: "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."

The fellow pros were far from impressed (apart from Lauren and Neil who guessed correctly). Katya said: "Get a life my friend!", as Nikita added: "You might be in trouble mate..."

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC1 on Saturday, October 30. Strictly It Takes Two returns every weekday on BBC2.
