Strictly Come Dancing professionals Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova have shut down rumours of a backstage feud. The pair met on the show, both joining the process as professional dancers, before falling in love with one another. After a shock dance-off last week, which saw Richie Anderson exit the competition after facing Fleur East, Nadiya and Kai have opened up about how tough it is to lose someone on the show - as everyone is so close backstage.

Nadiya is partnered with Bros star Matt Goss on the programme, whilst Kai was partnered with Loose Women star Kaye Adams. The TV star was booted out of the show in the first elimination week. There have been rumours of a feud between departed contestant Richie Anderson and his pro partner Giovanni Pernice, whilst some fans have spotted feuds between judge Shirley Ballas and Matt Goss.

There is also said to be drama between the four judges - whilst others claimed they think there is some tension between Nadiya and her partner Matt. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at the National Television Awards this week, Nadiya said: "We just take it week by week, dance by dance. To be honest, we're working hard every week.

It's just really hard to see people go every week. "I just wish everyone could stay. It's like a big family and this year, everyone is so nice and sweet between each other and it was really sad for Kaye to go, for Richie to go.

This year, I don't know who will go next because everyone's so good. "Of the tough competition this year, she added: "You don't know what to expect. It will probably depend on what dance, which style, literally week by week.
