Both wearing sunglasses, they strolled through the arrivals lounge looking very ‘loved up’ according to onlookers, who told how the pair made no attempt to hide their feelings for each other.
One told MailOnline: ‘They looked like any normal couple breezing through arrivals holding hands.
‘They were wearing sunglasses but didn’t seem to mind that people clearly recognised them from Strictly. Nadiya was giggling and the two of them looked totally loved up.’
The pair’s show of affection came two weeks after they were spotted kissing at a dance event in Leeds, which raised funds for a charity set up by rugby league legend Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, and has close links to Nadiya’s 2021 series celebrity partner, Dan Walker.

Nadiya returned to her home in Slovenia last month to be with her seven-year-old daughter Mila and mother Larisa — who both continue to live with Matija, who is Mila’s dad.
