Fans have speculated that there may be another Strictly romance on the cards, after professional dancers Katya Jones and Kai Widdrington posted a cosy snap together on Instagram.

But while viewers were thrilled over Kai, 29, and Katya’s, 35, potential romance, a source reveals that fellow professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, 35 – who called it quits on her two-year relationship with Kai last year – is feeling hurt by the speculation.

A source reveals, ‘Kai and Katya have grown closer since he split from Nadiya. Nadiya’s obviously been a bit surprised by all the dating rumours – she might not be with Kai now but, even so, she doesn’t like seeing him linked to someone she knows so well.’

And while there’s no confirmation of romance between the two Strictly pros, the source adds that sparks are flying. ‘Kai and Katya aren’t dating at the moment,’ they say, ‘but no one would be surprised if they did end up together. They’re a good match, they have a lot in common and they spend a lot of time around one another due to the nature of their work. They’ve been friends for ages, but only time will tell if it develops into something serious.’
