The ‘real reason’ behind Strictly ‘golden couple’ Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington’s split is revealed

As a big fan of Strictly Come Dancing, I have been following the lives of its celebrities both on and off the dance floor with great interest. One couple that has caught my attention in recent times is Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdington. Their romance blossomed during the 2023 series, but their journey together hasn’t been an easy one.


Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington, the beloved pair from Strictly, were allegedly growing emotionally distant, resulting in their unexpected separation following two years of partnership.

The professional dancers from TopMob, who appear on the BBC dance show, announced their separation in June after completing their successful tour “Behind the Magic.”

The couple faced challenges in their relationship during their tour, with living together constantly taking a heavy toll on them. (or) It appears that the couple encountered difficulties while on tour, and the stress of being together all the time ultimately weakened their relationship.

A friend of Kai and Nadiya shared with The Sun, “It’s devastating. The connection between Kai and Nadiya appeared to be flawless, and they had been deeply in love, radiating happiness for quite some time.”

The constant demands of touring, such as spending all waking hours together and the pressure to deliver a successful sell-out performance, eventually wore them down.

For some time, their emotions had been unsteady. Surprisingly, tensions reached a peak during the tour named “Behind The Magic,” which unfortunately turned out to be a source of much difficulty.

After some tough times over the past few weeks, Kai and Nadiya mutually agreed to call it quits when their tour came to an end, according to the report.

TopMob have contacted Kai and Nadiya’s representatives for comment. 

On Thursdays disclosure by The Daily Mail, it was brought to light that Nadiya had conferred with Strictly’s top brass regarding her grievances against the program, as the controversy surrounding it escalates further.

On Wednesday evening, Nadiya reached out to the corporation leaders and was subsequently asked to come in for a personal discussion to address her worries.

She’s expressed concern over specific issues regarding the Saturday night dance show and wanted to discuss these matters with the BBC while they were still investigating Amanda Abbington’s allegations against Giovanni Pernice, who has strongly denied bullying her during rehearsals.

The crisis surrounding Strictly, which has long been a prized asset for the BBC, is reportedly getting worse with each passing day as new allegations and claims continue to surface.

Nadiya unexpectedly reached out to the Mail’s higher-ups, expressing her desire for a conversation. In response to every potential grievance being carefully considered these days, they welcomed her in right away for a discussion.

After being a part of the show for several years, she may have witnessed and even endured unpleasant actions from various individuals. She would have interacted with a large number of people during her tenure.

‘Things really are getting serious now, it is a mess and it is getting worse by the day.

Based on my personal experience and observation, it seems that this situation with Giovanni Pernice is causing a ripple effect. I remember the first time I heard about an issue on his program, I was taken aback, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. However, as more complaints have surfaced, I can’t help but notice how people are coming forward with their own grievances, some of which may not have been significant enough to bring up before. The ongoing inquiry into Giovanni’s case has created an opportunity for a larger conversation and scrutiny that was perhaps not present before. While it’s important for voices to be heard and issues addressed, I can’t help but wonder if this influx of complaints is a result of the current spotlight on the matter. It’s a complex issue with many nuances, and only time will tell how it unfolds.

It seems that some individuals on Strictly Come Dancing are extremely disappointed. There’s growing concern about the situation, but no one can predict the outcome for certain.

According to sources close to Nadiya and Kay, despite claims of an amicable separation, their friendship has deteriorated significantly. This could lead to a chilly environment when their new series debuts in September.

I, Nadiya, a 33-year-old woman who was once engaged to Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot, aged 36, went to Wimbledon all by myself last week. Meanwhile, Kai, my friend who is 28 years old, chose to visit friends and family in the United States instead.

On July 11, Nadiya the Ukrainian dancer was supposed to join Kai at the Police Bravery Awards. However, Kai ended up representing himself at the event.

Last Thompson’s event, held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Thursdays past, had planned for Nadiya and Kai to attend together. However, attendees were taken aback when only Nadiya showed up.

An insider shared: “Organizers had high expectations for Kai and Nadiya’s attendance at the event. They were taken aback when when she unexpectedly cancelled her appearance close to the event date.”

At the table, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival signified by her name. However, Kai arrived with a friend instead, appearing subdued rather than his typical lively self, hinting at an internal preoccupation.

A stranger slipped some tequila shooters onto his table, hoping to lift his spirits. However, the sadness from the broken relationship left him with a profound sense of emptiness and unresponsiveness to the alcohol.

Nadiya began seeing Kai in the year 2022, yet they concealed their relationship from the public, including Strictly followers, for an extended period.

A year ago, they continued to reside apart, acknowledging that managing their relationship amidst the scrutiny of their fans proved to be a challenge for them.

In January 2022, TopMob announced that Nadiya and her fiancé Matija, with whom she has a seven-year-old daughter named Mila, had ended their relationship.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve witnessed many relationships, and I can tell you from experience that even the most seemingly perfect couples can face challenges. A friend of mine confided in me about Kai and Nadiya, who appeared to have an idyllic partnership filled with deep affection. However, recently they’ve encountered some difficulties that leave me feeling heartbroken.

The constant demands of touring, such as spending all waking hours together and the pressure to deliver successful sell-out shows, ultimately wore them down.

After some difficult weeks, they sat down for a heartfelt conversation and chose to end their partnership. Despite the separation, they hold a deep bond and are committed to ensuring it won’t affect the upcoming season of Strictly. They remain true professionals, unwavering in their dedication.

The romance between the two began following reports of Kai being involved with his past famous girlfriend AJ Odudu during the same Strictly Come Dancing season as Nadiya, who was partnered with former BBC broadcaster Dan Walker. (Or) After rumors surfaced about Kai dating his ex-celebrity sweetheart AJ Odudu during the same Strictly competition where Nadiya danced with Dan Walker from the BBC, their relationship ignited.

An English Bulldog named Snoopy is lovingly shared between them, and Kai has openly expressed the depth of his bond with Nadiya’s daughter in the past.

In February, Kai emphasized the significance of getting things right with Mila, whom he considered to be one of the most intelligent little girls he had come across.

Kai shared a fresh moniker that she’s given him now, which he mentioned has been altered since his previous TV appearance.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this individual for quite some time now, and I must tell you, their creativity knows no bounds! Every time I appear on their show, they bestow upon me a new nickname. The first one was Kai Lemon Pie, which was amusing enough. But just when I thought I’d gotten used to it, they surprised me yet again by announcing that for the upcoming year, 2024, my nickname would be Kai Cotton Candy Pie! It’s a testament to their playful nature and their ability to keep things fresh and exciting. I can’t help but admire their sense of humor and their dedication to making each appearance on their show unique.

The last couple of months have kept the duo quite occupied. Right after finishing the 2023 season of BBC One’s show, they embarked on the Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour. Subsequently, they journeyed across the country for Behind the Magic.

In the announced lineup for Strictly in 2024, both individuals have been included, but the show has faced criticism lately due to allegations of misconduct that have emerged.
