Nadiya Bychkova has reportedly travelled to her home country of Slovenia in a bid to rekindle things with her former fiancé Matija Skarabot.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 32, and fellow show star Kai Widdrington, 26, confirmed their romance with a first kiss in public kiss last month during a break from the BBC programme's live tour.

But Nadiya's friends and family in Slovenia think she and Matija are 'still together', according to The Sun, with the footballer living in her mother's home.

A source told The Sun: 'It’s tricky for her being with Kai. Everything back home is still as it was before. Her mum lives with her ex-fiancé in the same house and Nadiya still even drives his car.' 

They added: 'It looks as though she will fly back and forth to make things work, but she still sees Slovenia as home so it’s going to be rather difficult.

'As far as everyone is concerned in Slovenia, people think they’re still together.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Nadiya, Matija and Kai for comment.

Last month, a source told MailOnline that Nadiya, who came fifth with BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker, 44, on last year's Strictly, realised her long-distance relationship with Matija wasn't working and, while they continue to co-parent their daughter, they are no longer a couple.

An insider revealed: 'Nadiya and Matija haven't been together for some time now.

'Matija is dedicated to his footballing career in Slovenia and Nadiya is predominantly based in London.

'Performing on Strictly and the Strictly Live Tour takes up half her year, in the end the commitment to their jobs made it too difficult for the relationship to work.

'There's still a lot of love and respect between them and Mila is and always will be their priority.'

Following their split, Nadiya struck up a romance with Kai, but the latest claims throw the couple's  budding romance into doubt.   

However, the pair are set to spend more time together in the coming weeks as the dance pros have signed up for The Professionals UK Tour.

The 36-date show starts at the end of April.
