The professional dancer hasn't been paired with a celebrity for the new series
Professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova has shared her 'disappointment' after being left out of the celebrity pairings. Strictly Come Dancing returned on Saturday night for its 21st series, which will see 15 brand new celebrities compete for the Glitterball trophy.
But not all of the professional dancers who feature in the BBC dance programme get to be paired up with a celebrity, and this year Nadiya Bychkova has been left out of the running. The Ukrainian ballroom and Latin American dancer, who joined the show as a pro in 2017, has since been supported by her fans after sharing her 'disappointment' at the decision.
"It is an amazing show to be a part of and I’m still so excited for all the group numbers, performing with some of our music acts and much much more," she then added: "I’m also looking forward to supporting my fellow pros and I want to wish all the couples the best of luck for the competition this year."
Former Strictly pro Oti Mabuse, whose sister Motse Mabuse is a judge on the programme, told the dancer: "Sending you love and hugs." Fans of the dance contest also shared their disappointment with many praising the dancer for her abilities.
