STRICTLY’S Nadiya Bychkova has taken a shocking swipe at her ex-boyfriend Kai Widdrington.
The former Strictly Come Dancing couple split over the summer after two years of dating.

Now Nadiya, 35 – who is mum to daughter Mila, seven, from a previous relationship – has given an update on things between her and Kai, 29.
She told the Mirror: “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.”
Following Nadiya and Kai’s split it was reported bosses at Strictly were considering banning workplace romances due the tension backstage between the exes.
An insider told the Daily Mail such romances “have the potential to create negative situations for Strictly and the BBC”.
At the National Television Awards earlier this year it was reported the former couple had to be “kept apart”.
An onlooker said: “When the pair got inside the O2 they gave each other a very wide berth.”
“Organisers had ensured there would be no awkward camera shots by keeping the frosty pair apart from each other.”
And it seems Kai has already moved on as last night he was seen getting cosy with Love Island beauty Maura Higgins.
They were seen at the five-star JW Marriott Grosvenor House after attending the Pride of Britain awards.
