Strictly couple Nadiya and Kai drop huge hint about engagement plans as they detail keeping romance ‘secret’

Could marriage be on the cards?

Strictly Come Dancing couple Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have dropped a big hint about their relationship.

The Strictly co-stars confirmed their relationship last year.

They had previously denied any romantic involvement and had attempted to keep their romance secret.

In a new interview, the loved-up couple revealed that they went to great lengths to keep their romance hidden from both the public and their Strictly bosses.

Strictly: Nadiya and Kai kept their romance secret for months

Kai told The Sun: “We knew that it would come out and that it would be a big thing, so we kept it private for as long as we could, which was both annoying and exciting at the same time.”

The dancer confessed that the pair used to dress up in “disguises” as they struggled to maintain their privacy.

He added: “Sometimes we would go out in disguise, or baseball caps pulled down low, etc, and we knew this period of time was only going to last a little bit.”

Of course, we want to be together for life, so we will see where it goes.

However, things soon reached a point where they both realised it was time to let their bosses at Strictly know the deal.

He said they told their bosses as a “professional courtesy” and insisted the BBC was “totally fine with it”.

But what about future plans? Well, Kai and Nadiya have confessed that getting engaged appears to be only a matter of time.

He added: “Listen, what can I say…  we are very happy together and we don’t want this to end. Of course, we want to be together for life, so we will see where it goes.”
