Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington looked happier than ever as they dressed to impress at the Who Cares Wins Awards at The Roundhouse, London on Tuesday.

The Strictly Come Dancing couple cosied up on the red carpet as they posed for pictures. 

Nadiya looked nothing short of sensational in a strapless pink gown which boasted a large black bow over the bust. 

She toted her belongings around in a chic Chanel handbag and elevated her frame in a pair of coordinated heels. 

The Ukraine dancer, who was reportedly recently left ‘seething’ after not being paired with a celeb partner for the new BBC series, accessorised with a silver pendant necklace.

Nadiya styled her long waved blonde tresses in a neat up-do and applied a radiant palette of makeup for the evening.  

Meanwhile, Kai looked dapper in a black velvet dinner jacket which he teamed with a matching bow tie and waist coat. 

The couple, who have been dating since January 2022, smiled as they posed for photos together at the glamorous event. 

The public appearance comes after Nadiya was reportedly shocked to learn BBC bosses had no plan for her to have a celebrity partner this year. 

The professional dancers held a series of discussions with the show’s most senior staff about the decision, which has infuriated her fans. Some even suggested that they might boycott the new series in support of Ms Bychkova, a ballroom and Latin world champion.

And former BBC star Walker, who now presents Channel 5 news, said on social media that leaving her out ‘feels like putting Messi on the bench for the World Cup final!’

But BBC chiefs say there are many factors which determine whether a professional dancer is chosen to be given a celebrity partner or not, including height and how many years they have been on Strictly.

Corporation sources say that when this year’s stars and professionals met, there was no chemistry between Nadiya and the male contestants.

One told the Mail: ‘Nadiya was very surprised when she learned she would merely be part of he wider dance troupe. She felt like she had done well since she joined the show, so it was a shock.

‘She wanted answers so she held several meetings with the bosses so she could get some answers. She is accepting it now.’

A spokesman for the BBC declined to comment. 

The Sun’s Who Cares Wins awards honours those across the health and social care sector who go above and beyond for their patients or causes.

The event has returned to Channel 4 with Davina McCall again hosting the awards and the star-studded, red-carpet ceremony taking place in London.

Channel 4 has partnered with The Sun and NHS Charities Together to televise the awards ceremony for the third year running.

The awards were originally set up in 2017 as a celebration of the NHS and healthcare healthcare professionals, key workers and ordinary people who care for us.

Davina McCall said: ‘I’m enormously proud to host these awards, which recognise some of the most amazing people on the planet. It’s a privilege to meet these everyday heroes and celebrate their truly inspirational stories.’

Commissioning editor for Channel 4 Tom Beck said: ‘We’re thrilled to be broadcasting The Sun’s Who Cares Win awards for the second year, bringing the amazing and inspiring stories of the nominees and winners to Channel 4 viewers.’

This year’s awards were launched back in June by boxing legend Anthony Joshua as one of the many celebrations to mark the NHS turning 75. 

The sportsman urged people to get nominating as he said: ‘It’s my pleasure to launch this year’s awards. It was truly humbling at last year’s ceremony to hear the incredible stories of heroism that play out across the UK.

‘I was blown away by the people I met. To me, they are the real stars. Our health heroes are true fighters. The past few years have been incredibly hard for those working on the frontline. They’ve steered us through the coronavirus pandemic while continuing to try to maintain all other services.

‘Our NHS is made up of people from all different backgrounds who come together to selflessly help others. They put the great into Great Britain. They don’t do it for the money or for the thanks. They are not the sort to put themselves in the spotlight, so this is why The Sun needs you to nominate your healthcare hero.’
