Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova 'is being comforted by celeb partner Tom Dean following her split from Kai Widdrington' - after the swimmer called off his relationship

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in navigating the intricate world of celebrity relationships and professional careers, I find it fascinating to observe the unfolding events involving Nadiya Bychkova and Tom Dean. It seems that both individuals are finding solace and companionship in each other following their respective breakups, which is a testament to their resilience and adaptability.


It appears that Nadiya Bychkova is receiving support from her dance partner, Tom Dean, on Strictly Come Dancing, following her separation from Kai Widdrington.

The Ukrainian woman, aged 35, has reportedly been spending lunch hours with the young Olympic swimmer, 24 years old. This athlete has reportedly provided support to her since her split, serving as a pillar of strength in her life.

Previously separated from Kai (aged 29) in July, Nadiya has already dined with some of Tom’s relatives and moreover, she recently attended a dinner with Tom and his sibling Connie at the Bocconcino eatery located in London’s Mayfair.

Apart from Nadiya, it turns out that Tom has also ended his long-term relationship with Charlotte Phillips.

According to sources near Tom, based in London, it’s been reported that his relationship with an unnamed partner has been strained for quite a while because they grew apart. It’s been emphasized by these sources that Nadiya was not the cause of their separation.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Nadiya and Tom have comforted each other following their break-ups. 

Nadiya and Tom were disappointed not to advance any farther in the contest, yet they’ve had the chance to become acquainted off the dance floor.

Nadiya has consistently expressed that Tom embodies the epitome of a true gentleman. Since parting ways with Kai, he’s been a steadfast pillar of support for her.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve been spotted gracing numerous events side by side, my latest being the Pride of Britain Awards last month – an unmissable event in our joint schedule due to our ongoing commitments on Strictly.

This year, Tom was the initial celebrity to exit Strictly as he lost his spot in the contest to Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones, who were eliminated the following week based on viewers’ votes.

He openly expressed deep surprise and disappointment, bordering on despair, upon learning he got the least amount of public votes and left the program during its first week.

In August, Tom shared a picture on Instagram that featured him cuddling with Lottie inside an elevator at work.

Frequently, he publicly disclosed glimpses of their relationship via social media platforms, including pictures of vacations they enjoyed collectively and a snapshot from his homecoming celebration after the Paris Olympics, where Lottie was prominently displayed.

However, the executive took a break from Instagram for several months, whereas Tom consistently shared updates about his partnership with Nadiya on Strictly.

They recently graced the Pride of Britain Awards held in October and had a delightful shared meal at The Waterside Inn just a week ago. A variety of skilled chefs prepared an astonishing array of dishes for their enjoyment.

In response to Nadiya’s post featuring the duo, Tom wrote: “Fantastic afternoon! The food was terrific, and the companionship was even better.

In 2023, Nadiya found her first Strictly dance partner in a year, as the three-time Olympic gold medallist was her partner, marking a change from previous seasons where she hadn’t been paired with a celebrity.

In 2022, she teamed up with singer Matt Goss, and a year prior, she worked together with ex-host of BBC Breakfast Show, Dan Walker. The two have maintained a strong friendship since then.

It’s said that Nadiya may be among several Strictly professionals facing elimination from the show.

Based on recent news, it appears that those in charge have expressed a strong desire to significantly revamp the show, with the primary dancers who are integral to the program being the initial focus of these changes.

After a tumultuous year filled with scandals following the dismissal of Graziano Di Prima due to his alleged mistreatment of celebrity partner, Zara McDermott, the dance competition experienced turbulence.

Tom’s brief stint on Strictly might take him by surprise, given that he typically thrives in competitive settings.

He reached the final of the men’s 200m individual medley at the Paris Olympics and was part of the men’s 4x200m freestyle gold-medal winning team.

3 years ago, he clinched gold medals in both the 200m freestyle and the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay events during the Tokyo Olympics.

Tom was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours in 2022 for his services to swimming.
