The pair has remained relatively silent on their social media feeds since the snaps were posted, but now Nadiya has shared a post on her Instagram. Ignoring what happened, Nadiya shared a photo from the Strictly Live Tour where she was bent over backwards with professional dancers Johannes Radebe, who is close friends with Kai, and Jake Leigh supported her.

She made no reference to the photos shared in her caption either, as she simply wrote: "Are you ready Manchester? Let's do this @strictlycomedancinglive," alongside a sparkle and dancing emoji.

The star also shared some posts on her Instagram Stories from make-up artist Summer Dyason, which saw the pro dancer posing and laughing in a sparkling singlet. Summer was awestruck by Nadiya's beauty, calling her a "ridiculous human" alongside a heart-eyed face emoji.

The 32-year-old has recently become single after she split from her fiancé, Matija Škarabot as they struggled to maintain their long-distance relationship.

Kai was previously dating fellow dancer Giulia Dotta for five years before they split. Guila's agent confirmed to the Mirror last July that the pair had called time on their relationship, but it's believed that they split several months earlier during lockdown.

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.

The chemistry was so much that It Takes Two host Janette Manrara even teased the pair about it during an appearance on the show, but they always denied that anything was going on.
