STRICTLY star Dan Walker paid tribute to dance partner Nadiya Bychkova yesterday, saying: “She puts a big smile on my face.” The BBC Breakfast presenter spoke after she consoled him when he broke down on the tenth anniversary of the death of his pal Gary Speed.

The Sun told yesterday how Dan, 44, had just watched a rerun of a Football Focus interview he did with former Wales manager Gary the day before he killed himself.

He was seen sobbing on 32-year-old Nadiya’s shoulder as they hugged backstage. Ahead of their tango on last night’s show, he said: “We enjoy each other’s company. "She makes me laugh and I think she’d say she’s learned a lot from me and I’ve learned a lot from her. “I think our attitude is very similar.
