Fans Speculate About a Secret New Couple on 'Strictly' After a Romantic Instagram Post Sparks Curiosity - suong

Strictly Come Dancing fans are speculating that there could be a new secret couple among the cast, after one duo shared a series of sizzling Instagram snaps together.

Professional dancers Katya Jones and Kai Widdrington looked loved up as they posed together for pictures posted to their social media pages on Sunday.

Katya, 35, whose celebrity partner Wynne Evans was booted out of the competition last week, looked nothing short of sensational in a glittering red gown.

She flashed a peek of her cleavage in the plunging sequinned dress, which featured silver detailing and a small belt to cinch in her waist.

The dancer wore her brunette tresses in loose curls and in typical Strictly fashion, opted for a glamorous palette of makeup, as she gazed into Kai's eyes for one snap.

The fellow pro dancer, 29, who was not paired up with a celebrity dancer this season, looked equally stylish in a black satin suit boasting silver floral embellishments.

Fans who picked up on their body language took to the comments to speculate, writing: 'I'm not saying they are together, but they would look pretty good as a couple.'

'Is this their non subtle way of telling us they have got together?'

'Gorgeous couple!'

'Hard launch?' 

'I was thinking the same thing…hard launch?'

'Katya looked beautiful in that red dress.'

'Couldn't keep my eyes off Katya tonight she looked absolutely stunning!' 

'You both looked absolutely stunning last night.' 

Kai previously dated fellow professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova for two years before they split in June of last year.

Nadiya has previously revealed she 'isn't friends' with her former flame and the pair have been seen to be noticeably standing apart while upstairs in the Clauditorium during the live shows this season.

In October, a source told The Sun: 'It's painfully obvious Nadiya and Kai are in the awkward post-break up phase and struggling to be near one another.

'When the pair are in the Clauditorium, they're always on opposite sides. Although they may have big smiles on their faces when the cameras are running, it's been very tense between them.

'They refuse to be near each other at all on set- but there's not much room up there with all the professionals. They just have to do their best to avoid each other every weekend.'

Meanwhile, Katya, who was previously married to Strictly pro Neil Jones, has maintained her friendship with her ex-husband (pictured together in 2019)

The BBC refused to comment and MailOnline have contacted representatives for Nadiya and Kai.

The couple reportedly ended their two-year romance after 'emotionally drifting away from each other,' with sources claiming the pressures of touring together took a toll on their relationship.

Speaking to The Mirror Nadiya revealed that she and Kai are still working on Strictly, despite not having celebrity partners, and they'll always keep things professional when they dance together.

Asked whether they are still friends, Nadiya said: 'We work together but we are not friends and that's OK.

'One thing I can tell you is that when you see me dancing with him it will be amazing because I'm a professional.'

Meanwhile, Katya, who was previously married to Strictly pro Neil Jones, has maintained her friendship with her ex-husband.

The Strictly Come Dancing stars met in Blackpool in 2008 and became dancing partners, going onto be the undefeated four-time British National Champions.

The couple then tied the knot in 2013 and joined the BBC dance competition for series 14 in 2016.

However, their relationship hit the rocks in 2018 after Katya, 35, was pictured kissing her celebrity dance partner, comedian Seann Walsh, 38.

Katya and Neil, 42, eventually parted ways in August 2019, after six years of marriage, but remained friends and continued dancing together on Strictly.

Speaking about their bond, Katya said she felt it was 'sad' that her close friendship with her ex-husband was uncommon.

She explained that she and Neil had begun their dancing careers together, as 'the only people there for each other', meaning they shared a 'profound connection', that they couldn't end just because their marriage was over.

Katya told The Mirror: 'It's sad that this seems to be unusual [being friends with your ex-husband]. It doesn't have to be that way does it?

'Gosh we knew each other since we were 18 and started dancing. We lived a life together, it was me and him against the world, chasing our dreams.

'We were the only people there for each other so of course there is a much more profound connection there so you can't just throw that away.'

Neil is now engaged to Love Island star Chyna Mills, and the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Havana, in October last year.

Katya revealed she had met the 'beautiful' seven-month-old and gushed that Neil was 'a really good dad'.

She said: 'It's incredible, they are all doing so well, and I love his little girl. I met her when she came on tour. She is beautiful and he is a really good dad.'
