Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova emotional as she suffers problem with Kai and fans back her

Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova suffered a blow during her national tour with Kai Widdrington last night which led to fans rushing to support her.

The Ukrainian blonde bombshell dancer and mum, 34, is currently touring the country with her fellow pro dancer and boyfriend Kai Widdrington, 28.

The pair, who have been an item for several years, are currently touring a show together, Nadiya & Kai: Behind The Magic but last night’s performance saw Nadiya pick up an injury which left her emotional.

Nadiya battled on through the show and could be seen hugging her boyfriend Kai tight at the end having made it through the performance.

Fans were full of praise for the former Playboy model turned BBC Strictly star.

One fan told her: “You are a force to be reckoned with Nadiya Bychkova. Such admirable strength and courage, take care of yourself. You are incredible and we appreciate you.”

Another said: “The emotion of last night… Hope Nadiya Bychkova is being looked after, what a trouper for continuing to dance.”

@officialbarnsey said: “@NadiyaBychkova you were amazing last night, can't believe you did it all with an injured foot! “

Sorry we didn't get to see you after the show but hope you got some rest & are ok for tonight's show! Hope you do another tour next year!”

This week fellow Strictly star Giovanni Pernice announced a dance event with Kai, only for Kai to pull out of it within days citing a diary clash.

Nadiya, meanwhile, was said to be devastated to miss out on a celebrity partner last series as producers opted to give Luba Mushtuk a try instead and will be hoping to be put back in the fray this year with a star partner.
