STRICTLY Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova have taken their relationship to the next step with a new addition.
The couple took to social media on Saturday to reveal that they had got a sweet little puppy together as they posed as a family.
Strictly professional dancers Kai, 27, and Nadiya, 33, beamed from ear to ear as they introduced their fans to Snoopy.
The sweet bulldog puppy could be seen snuggling into Kai’s hands as the couple cosied up in their back garden with the new dog.
“We have managed to keep it quiet for a week now whilst our latest edition has settled in… but everyone please welcome Snoopy,” they wrote in the joint Instagram post.
“Thank you for the most beautiful English bulldog puppy we could have ever wished for he truly is a dream.”

Among them was newsreader Dan Walker, who joked of the dog’s face: “Looks like he’s not quite as happy as you two are.”
While Richie Anderson chimed in: “Love it. You two have more chemistry together than a science lesson.”

It comes after Nadiya and Kai shifted their relationship up a gear and moved in together after getting together in January.
The pair sharing a London home now Nadiya is back in the UK after travelling to Slovenia to see daughter Mila.
They have become inseparable since her break, having also travelled to Northern Ireland last week to watch co-star Giovanni Pernice’s solo show in Belfast.
A source close to the couple said: “Moving in together was the obvious next step for Nadiya and Kai. They’ve grown so close and it just made sense.
“Kai helped Nadiya move in her belongings this week and they’re excited about making their property feel like a shared home.”
Kai and Nadiya grew close after her split from Slovenian footballer Matija Skarabot, 34 — the father of her daughter Mila, five.
Their friendship turned into a relationship soon after, blossoming while appearing on the Strictly Live tour, where they were pictured by The Sun kissing in a bar.
