Over the years Nadiya has been paired with some incredible celebrities.
Those include Davood Ghadami, Lee Ryan, David James, Dan Walker and Matt Goss.
Last year she was not partnered with anyone.
In July The Sun revealed that Nadiya and Kai had split after two years of dating.
“It’s heartbreaking,” a friend said.
“Kai and Nadiya seemed like the most perfect couple and have been so, so blissfully in love.
“But the pressures of touring – being in each other’s space 24/7, and the stress of performing a sell-out show eventually took its toll.
“After a tough few weeks, they sat down together and decided to call it quits.
“They remain incredibly close and are determined their split will not have any impact on the next series of Strictly – they remain consummate professionals, and nothing will change that.”
Kai, who officially joined the show in 2021, has danced with AJ Odudu, Kaye Adams and Angela Ripon.
Strictly has come under fire in recent months after abuse allegations.
Last month it was revealed that Nadiya had ‘made a complaint against the show’.
An insider told the Mail: “Nadiya got in touch out of the blue and wanted to talk to the bosses.
“They are taking every single murmur of a complaint seriously now so she was immediately asked in.
“She has been on the show for some years so will have seen and lot and possibly also experienced unpleasant behaviour, she will have worked with many people.
“Things really are getting serious now, it is a mess and it is getting worse by the day.”
Giovanni Pernice was axed from the show in May after his former partner Amanda Abbington filed a complaint about him.
He denies all allegations.
Meanwhile Graziano Di Prima was fired in July after claims he hit, spat at and kicked his partner Zara McDermott during rehearsals last year.
