Strictly 2023 Nadiya Bychkova snubbed?
According to reports, Strictly pro dancer Nadiya won’t be dancing with a celebrity this year. Nadiya, who has been on the show since 2017, has danced with Dan Walker and Matt Goss in recent years.
However, this year, it’s been reported that she’ll simply be part of the ensemble.
“Nadiya lives and breathes Strictly, and so to hear that she wouldn’t have a celebrity partner this year was crushing for her,” a source told The Mirror recently.
“She was both gutted, and very, very angry. She has come to terms with it over the past few weeks, and will do her best to support Kai during the series. But it was devastating news for her,” they then added.
