Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova shares rare photo of daughter visiting show set

Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova has shared a rare photo of her daughter visiting the set of the show.

The dancer took to Instagram to share two snaps of herself and daughter Mila sitting at the judges' table, which were taken at the show's dress rehearsal last Saturday (October 28).

"Had a very special guest @bbcstrictly dress run on Saturday," Nadiya wrote in the caption. "I loved having Mila with me at work, and it's so special to see how much she enjoys being @elstreestudios and seeing everyone."

She continued: "Also Mila keeps saying that when she'll grow up, she wants to be like mummy and dance @bbcstrictly it melts my heart. And it's the best thing you can hear as a working mum who just wants to give the best life and future for her child. I love you so much my baby girl."

Nadiya's boyfriend Kai Widdrington shared a series of heart emojis in the comments, while former dance partner Dan Walker wrote: "How lovely. Glad Mila had a good time."

Earlier this year, Nadiya opened up about introducing Kai to Mila, revealing on Loose Women: "It took quite some time, honestly. It's not easy because, as you know, you protect your child as much as you can.

"It took some time, but he proved himself in all the possible ways."

Revealing the sweet nickname Mila has given him, Kai added: "She calls me Kai Lemon Pie. She goes, 'Hi Kai Lemon Pie. Bye Kai Lemon Pie'."

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
