Earlier this month, Nadiya confirmed she was seeing someone following her split from her fiancé, Matija Škarabot, as she posted a photo of her and her new beau at a restaurant holding hands across the table and added a love-heart emoji at the bottom of the snap.
However, Nadiya was sure to keep the identity of her mystery man private, as she refrained from showing his face or tagging them in the post which was shared on her Instagram Stories.

Fans will no doubt be wondering if the dancer's date is in fact fellow Strictly star Kai Widdrington, as the pair have been the centre of relationship reports since the beginning of 2022, shortly before the Strictly Come Dancing official tour hit the road.
In addition, Nadiya and Kai have been snapped in photos obtained by MailOnline in recent weeks, showing the pair getting cosy at a dinner in Sheffield and, earlier this month, walking hand in hand through an airport.
