Nadiya Bychkova is said to be growing close to a West End star after her split from Kai Widdrington.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 35, separated from fellow dancer Kai in June 2024, and now appears to have moved on with Les Miserables star Ian McIntosh, according to reports.
The duo are said to have met back in March and attended the Les Miserables 40th Anniversary Gala together in London this month.
Posing for photos on the red carpet, Ian wrapped an arm around Nadiya’s waist as they smiled.
Sharing a snap from the event to his Instagram account Ian wrote: ‘What a glorious night.’
This week, the pair were spotted enjoying a cosy coffee date in London.

A source told The Sun: ‘Nadiya and Ian have a couple of mutual friends and were introduced, they hit it off immediately.
‘They have attended a couple of red carpet events together and thought people might start noticing their relationship sooner.
‘They have loads in common and just have a lot of fun together, it is lovely to see. Everyone is very happy for them.’
Daily Mail has contacted both Nadiya and Ian’s representatives for comment.
Ian is known for playing Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, as well as Jesus in Tim Sheader’s Jesus Christ Superstar
He was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Barry Mann in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
Kai has also moved on and went Instagram official with his new girlfriend Chloe Wells, nine months after their acrimonious split.

And proving just how besotted they are, the dancer took to social media last month to share a loved-up snap of the couple looking adoringly into each other’s eyes.
Grinning from ear-to-ear, Kai looked elated while stunning brunette Chloe, cutting a glam figure in a brown mini dress, looked equally as taken with the hunk.
Captioning his snap, Kai simply penned: ‘Happiness is underrated’, alongside a black heart emoji. He also tagged his new girlfriend in the post.
Over the summer it was reported that the couple were planning to move in together soon.
