Strictly pro Nadiya Bychkova is seen for first time since being hospitalised after horror fall as she arrives for rehearsals with this year’s celebrities

For the initial time since her unexpected hospitalization following a severe fall during practice sessions, Strictly Come Dancing’s Nadiya Bychkova has made an appearance.

On a Friday, the entire cast of Strictly 2025 made their first public appearance since the announcement of the complete line-up as they gathered for rehearsals.

Among them was the 35-year-old Ukrainian dancer, Nadiya, who, not long ago, had been admitted to the hospital following an incident on Tuesday where she fell and landed on her back during practice sessions.

While practicing in North London, the celebrity sustained a back injury that caused intense pain. As a result, her team had no choice but to call for an ambulance.

But in a sign that she is on the mend, Nadiya arrived for rehearsals sporting a huge smile.

I proudly strutted out, sporting a crisp white crop top tied around my waist, paired with classic denim shorts that hugged every curve perfectly. And to complete the look, a stylish designer leather shoulder bag slung over one arm. My heart swelled with joy, for fashion is my passion, and this outfit was a testament to my obsession!

On Wednesday, Nadiya posted an image from the hospital where she gave her followers an update about her injury and shared whether or not she might dance again in the near future on Instagram.

In my own words, here’s how I might rephrase it:

“Whew! Let me tell you, the past 24 hours have been quite a ride! I’ve received an outpouring of messages, love, and support from all of you. I just wanted to take a moment to assure everyone that I’m doing okay. Your kindness means more than words can express.

Yesterday during training, I took a tumble and ended up landing on my back. For a while, I was quite anxious about it. However, I’m incredibly grateful to the entire Strictly crew and medical team for their swift and attentive care they provided me.

‘The staff at the hospital were so kind and caring.’

Nadiya went on saying, “The photo shows me grinning, yet it was quite frightening, and I shed a few quiet tears because I needed to remain motionless for extended periods. After getting a clear x-ray result, I was finally granted permission to leave the hospital.

Today, I have a physical therapy session scheduled, but rest assured, I won’t be off the dance floor for long. I’m eagerly looking forward to making a comeback, glowing and radiant, during the upcoming season of the most popular television show out there.

‘I can’t wait for you to see it. Keep dancing!’

A confidential source informed The Mirror about her injury, saying, “It seemed quite severe, and everyone was being cautious. Quickly, the Strictly team sprang into action, and she was carefully carried out on a stretcher.

To ensure safety, after a fall that occurred during rehearsals, Nadiya was transported to the hospital for examinations. Both medical professionals and welfare teams are providing comprehensive assistance to her at this time.

The rehearsals carry on, and the Strictly crew keeps up with regular communication with Nadiya. By the afternoon, Nadiya was discharged from the hospital.

On Tuesday, August 12th, at 12:37 PM, we received a call regarding an occurrence at Regent’s Park Road, NW1. This information was shared by a representative from the London Ambulance Service with the publication.

‘We sent an ambulance crew to the scene and treated one person before taking them to hospital.’ 

Daily Mail contacted Nadiya’s representatives and Strictly Come Dancing for comment at the time. 

On Friday, celebrities such as Dani Dyer and Ellie Goldstein showed up in high spirits, ready to begin their first complete day of training at the studio, which they entered with energy and excitement.

Among the celebrities preparing for practice, there was Thomas Skinner, a previous contestant on The Apprentice, who responded to critics earlier in the day about his participation in the show.

2025’s Strictly Come Dancing invites were under contention due to his association with JD Vance, as critics urged the BBC to rescind the invitation. This stirred a wave of complaints from Strictly fans, many of whom threatened to boycott the show if he was included.

On Friday, Thomas, aged 34, responded to criticism by writing: ‘Others may label me as “controversial,” however, in my opinion, it’s more of an attempt to discredit ordinary, diligent individuals.’

However, that doesn’t discourage us. Instead, we persist, care for one another, and channel the experience into propelling ourselves further.

In his communication, he expressed his thrill about filming Strictly for the first time, expressing that he felt incredibly proud. He then took a moment to express gratitude towards his fans for their unwavering support.
