In photographs obtained by The Sun, the duo were seen kissing each other at a bar in the Malmaison Newcastle, as the Live Tour stopped over in the city. Nadiya looked beautiful in a turquoise overcoat, and had a cap to mask her blonde hair, while Kai wore a green hoodie, with a black beanie and also had a backpack over his shoulders.

The photos of the kiss come shortly after some of the cast headed to the beach and running towards the freezing cold waters earlier in the week, and the two were seen close together.

They also come after Kai and Nadiya had denied being a couple, but rumours had been sparked after the pair had been spotted together outside of rehearsal time.
Nadiya has recently become single after the Ukrainian-born dancer split from her fiancé, Matija Škarabot as they struggled to maintain their long-distance relationship.
In recent weeks, Nadiya stopped wearing her engagement ring and is no longer being followed by Matija on Instagram.
