Nadiya Bychkova has been inundated with support as she shared a major announcement which she told fans means 'more than you know'.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, who is a multiple-time Slovenian Ballroom and Latin Champion and two-time World and European Champion in '10' Dance, is best known for being part of the hit dance show, having joined back in 2017.
She impressively holds two Guinness World Records thanks to the Strictly spin-off It Takes Two's Pro Challenge for the most dance steps in 30 seconds - for fleckerls in 2020 and pat-a-cakes in 2021.
Nadiya will soon be gearing up for a return to the BBC One dance contest in a matter of weeks, having been included in the professional line-up for the 2025 series, alongside the likes of Dianne Buswell, Vito Coppola, and former flame Kai Widdrington.
But before she heads back into the ballroom for her ninth series, Nadiya has been given an exciting boost which she shared with her fans.
The professional dancer revealed she has been nominated for two awards at the upcoming National Reality TV Awards. Sharing the news on Instagram, Nadiya said: "Two nominations at this year’s @nationalrealitytvawards.
"Best Female Personality & Reality Personality of the Year — what a dream! From the dancefloor to your screens, it’s been such a joy to share this journey with you. Thank you for every message, every vote, every bit of love. Your support means more than you know.
"I’ve got the dress, now all I need is you! Head to www.telephonos.com to vote – let’s sparkle our way to the NRTAs together."
And fans were quick to respond. @hoblouise said: "Wow you deserve this so much! You’re always my winner & will always have my vote." @missyb3434 commented: "Wow this is absolutely amazing, you've definitely got my votes Nadiya. Keep shining brightly beautiful."
