BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova says she's a 'lucky girl' after romantic surprise as she starts new chapter

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Nadiya Bychkova has told fans she's a 'lucky girl' after being given a romantic surprise following a day in rehearsals for her upcoming move away from Strictly Come Dancing.

The professional dancer was recently seen as part of the BBC One dance contest's 2024 series, which began last September and ended with the glittering grand final in mid-December.

After missing out on having a celebrity dance partner during the 2023 series, Nadiya was paired with Olympic swimmer Tom Dean for Strictly's 20th-anniversary series but the pair became early casualties of the dread dance-off as they were the first couple to leave the competition.

But now, Nadiya is looking ahead to her upcoming tour, A Special Evening with Nadiya Bychkova, which begins later this month (February) and sees her go solo after she enjoyed a joint tour in 2023 with her Strictly co-star and now ex-boyfriend Kai Widdrington.
