The couple have been dating since January 2022 and appear to still be going strong as they ‘struggle to keep their hands off each other’. 

According to The Sun Kai, 28, and Nadiya, 34, were kissing, cuddling and making a ‘spectacle’ during breaks in filming Saturday’s pre-recorded launch episode. 

A source told the publication: ‘Nadiya and Kai were all over each other during filming and could barely keep their hands off each other.

‘It was over the top and awkward for everyone around them.

And while Nadiya has not been paired with a celebrity partner this year the source said she has her beau at her ‘beck and call’.

‘They definitely seemed to be flaunting their relationship and enjoying the attention.’

MailOnline have contacted BBC and Nadiya and Kai’s representatives for comment. 

Meanwhile The Mirror reports the couple will be launching their own rival tour after Nadiya missed out on a partner his year, while Kai has been paired with TV legend Angela Rippon, 78. 

The lovebirds will again tour the country with their show  Once Upon A Time in 2024, with dates yet to be confirmed but last year clashed with the BBC’s show’s arena tour schedule. 

A source said: ‘They found love on and off the dancefloor and Nadiya and Kai’s chemistry was such a hit they have been asked to do a second tour next year, this time closing in Kai’s hometown of Southampton. They’re in huge demand.’ 

The couple previously said that they are living the ‘dream fairytale’ after falling in love on the BBC show.

They exclusively told MailOnline their romance is ‘incredibly special’ because the chemistry they share on stage is real.

In an exclusive interview, Nadiya and Kai revealed that despite public misconception, they are yet to take their year-long relationship to the next level and move in together as they admit it is ‘difficult’ being under the watchful gaze of their loyal fanbase.

Nadiya, who shares daughter Mila with ex-fiancée Matija Škarabot, explained that it took herself and Kai some time to establish their feelings for each other, while Strictly viewers were keen to discover if they had become the show’s first professional pairing to find love on the dance floor.

She said: ‘At the beginning we were still figuring it out for ourselves! It is easier now in the sense that everyone knows we’re together but having a relationship in the public eye is tough.’

Kai added: ‘Everything is scrutinised,’ before Nadiya continued, ‘but there are some positives, we get to do what we love, and create the show, so it’s how you balance it

It comes after Strictly Come Dancing paid an emotional tribute to Amy Dowden after the dancer was forced to miss the series’ glitzy launch on Saturday amid her cancer battle. 

Hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly called her the show’s ‘Welsh Dragon’ as they dedicated the judges and professional dancers’ routine to her. 

Caerphilly-born Amy, 33, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in May and began chemotherapy after doctors discovered another type of cancer in her body, meaning she was unable to be paired with a celebrity for the new series.

Claudia then interjected as she said: ‘Amy from all your Strictly family we are sending all our love and we cannot wait to have you back on the dance floor.’ 

Tess added: ‘This [dance] is for you!’.

Viewers watching took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to comment on the moving performance and thoughtful shout out.
