Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova, 36, set pulses racing with a series of glamorous poolside photos shared on Instagram Friday. The Ukrainian dancer celebrated the show’s imminent return by flaunting her toned physique in a bold pink bikini, paired with rose-tinted sunglasses and gold bracelets. She captioned the post: “Ready, set, sparkle — @bbcstrictly is nearly back!” while holding a cocktail.

Fans quickly flooded the comments, with one calling her a “stunning, beautiful, gorgeous lady,” and another praising, “Pink is your colour! Can’t wait for Strictly nights!” A third added, “Absolutely glowing—bring on the sparkle!”

The photos also offered a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Strictly’s upcoming season trailer. The new series, set to premiere September 20 on BBC One, has fans eagerly awaiting the celebrity-pro pairings. However, the show faced chaos this week after the partnerships were leaked online following the launch show taping. Bosses had tried to keep the matches under wraps, but audience members reportedly spilled details.

New Ventures and Bonding

Meanwhile, Nadiya and her former Strictly partner, broadcaster Dan Walker, have reportedly started a production company, Butterfly Entertainment. The duo, who formed a close bond during the 2021 season, registered the business last month, focusing on TV, film, and performing arts projects.

Injury Scare and Recovery

The update comes weeks after Nadiya was hospitalized following a scary fall during rehearsals. She shared a photo from her hospital bed, explaining she’d landed on her back during training. “Thank you to the Strictly team and medics who looked after me,” she wrote, adding that scans cleared her of serious injury. After physiotherapy, she vowed, “I’ll be back on the dance floor soon—ready to sparkle!”

With Strictly’s launch just days away, Nadiya’s resilience and glamour have only heightened anticipation for the new season.
