Nadiya Bychkova has been supported by her Strictly Come Dancing co-stars as she revealed she'll be taking on a different challenge next year.

After missing out last year, the dancer was given a celebrity dance partner for the 2024 run of the BBC One dance contest. However, Nadiya and her celebrity dance partner, Olympic swimmer Tom Dean, became early casualties of the dread dance-off as they were the first couple to leave the competition.

Nadiya has since continued to support her co-stars during every live show and has also been seen in pro dancers' group performances and the routines during the musical acts throughout the series.
