Nadiya Bychkova Reflects on Strictly Come Dancing Ahead of New Series

Nadiya Bychkova, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, is set to return for the new series launching next month, coinciding with the show's 20th anniversary. She expressed her gratitude for being part of the program, highlighting the talent and passion surrounding the dance community. Recently, she shared on her Instagram Story about a long day of work related to the show, indicating that preparations for the upcoming series are in full swing. The BBC has confirmed that the professional dancers will pre-record routines on several dates, suggesting that Nadiya was involved in filming a group performance. Speculation has arisen regarding her celebrity partner for the new series, following reports that have surfaced about their pairing. However, the official pairings will be announced during the launch show. In addition to Nadiya's return, there are concerns regarding her colleague Kai Widdrington, who may not have a celebrity partner this year due to a limited number of female contestants. This situation mirrors Nadiya's experience last year when she also did not have a partner. The decision-making process for pairing dancers with celebrities involves various factors, which can lead to disappointment among professionals. The launch show is scheduled for September 14, with live performances expected to commence later in the month. As the show prepares for its return, it continues to generate excitement among fans, despite facing past controversies regarding behind-the-scenes dynamics.
