Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Byckova has given a glimpse at what she's been up to ahead of her return to the hit dance show when the 'sparkle takes over'
Nadiya Bychkova has offered a peek into her activities before returning to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom when the 'sparkle takes over'.
The professional dancer was confirmed amongst the returning cast when the BBC announced the pro dancer lineup back in April, with the celebrity contestants yet to be revealed.
For the forthcoming series, Nadiya will be accompanied by fellow professional dancers Dianne Buswell, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk who will grace the floor once again.
They'll also be joined by Jowita Przystal, Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.
Whilst the beloved dance programme won't return to BBC One until September, enthusiasts have merely weeks to wait until the celebrity lineup for the 2025 series is unveiled, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Meanwhile, Nadiya is maximising her downtime as she shared social media updates from her sun-drenched getaway with her daughter, Mila.
Posting photographs of them together on Instagram, the 35-year-old wrote: "Before the sparkle takes over... there was sunshine and stillness..
"Croatian sunsets, salty kisses, barefoot laughs, and my Mila - just the two of us, wrapped in warm days and slow magic. These are the moments I'll tuck into my heart before the music starts again."
The comments quickly poured in as one person expressed: "Mum and daughter holidays are the best."
Another remarked: "Gorgeous duo. So excited to have you back on our screens."
Someone else wrote "Gorgeous photos. Looks like you had a great time."
One follower shared: "Beautiful holiday pictures Nadiya and Mila." As another added: "These moments are so precious, beautiful."
Earlier this year, addressing her return to Strictly, Nadiya posted a video on Instagram featuring some of her performances on the show and exclaimed: "SO EXCITING!!! Thankful to be back on the biggest show on TV. I can't wait for another spin around the Strictly sun.
"Looking forward to working with the new pros too... they are going to LOVE it. Two of the things I enjoy most about life are dancing and teaching and that's what the show is all about so here's to another season of magical moments and memories."
She further asked: "Is there anyone you'd like to see on the new series? Strictly 2025 here we come."
