As a seasoned observer of the dance floor, I find myself captivated by the latest developments in the lives of our beloved Strictly Come Dancing stars, Tom and Nadiya. Their journey this year has been nothing short of enchanting, filled with twirls, lifts, and the occasional stumble – much like my own attempts at the foxtrot!

In recent Instagram photos posted on Tuesday, Nadiya Bychkova, a contestant on Strictly, was seen getting cozy with her famous partner Tom Dean, fueling speculation about their relationship that started last month.

35-year-old dance specialist reportedly has been spending lunch times with the 24-year-old Olympic swimmer, who has provided emotional support for her ever since her split from fellow Strictly professional dancer Kai Widdrington last July.

Now, adding more intrigue to the rumors, Nadiya posted fresh pictures showing her with Tom, as they resumed rehearsals at Elstree, preparing for their appearance on the BBC show’s finale this coming Saturday, along with the entire cast.

In simple terms, the Ukrainian woman appeared radiant without trying, dressed in a white crop top and tight black athletic leggings, while casually embracing the swimmer.

She let her naturally wavy, blonde hair cascade down to her shoulders, and adorned herself with silver hoop earrings and a radiant makeup look.

Simultaneously, Tom presented a relaxed appearance dressed in a black outfit consisting of an Under Armour T-shirt and pants.

With a radiant expression, he seemed blissfully happy as he rested his hand on Nadiya’s waist during the photos, then looked deeply into her eyes.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share the news: Team Golden Reunion is back on the dance floor at BBC Strictly Come Dancing! It’s none other than three-time Olympic Champion Tom Dean who will be my dancing partner this season. Welcome aboard, Tom! Let’s get our groove on!

Enthusiasts couldn’t hide their joy as they witnessed the duo back together, promptly flooding the comment section with messages such as: ‘A dream come true!!! Can’t wait for more magic from Team Golden this weekend!’

‘So happy to see you both back together, should never have been first eliminated.’

‘This makes my heart so happy, the bestest team!!! Love you both so so much.’

‘There was no way you should have gone out first. You were so robbed.’ 

‘Aww so good to see you back together!’

Oh my goodness, you all jumped the gun way too soon! But let me tell you, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm for your return to the studio this coming Saturday!

‘Gorgeous photos, can’t wait to see you dancing together again…’

Last month, it was announced that Nadiya, who parted ways with Kai (age 29) in July, has already dined with some members of Tom’s family and moreover, she recently had dinner with Tom and his sister Connie at the Bocconcino restaurant situated in London’s Mayfair.

Tom has ended his long-term relationship with Charlotte Phillips, leaving Nadiya similarly unattached once more.

According to sources near Tom, who hails from London, they shared with TopMob that the relationship had been strained for quite a while because of them growing apart. It’s important to note that Nadiya was not the cause of their separation.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Nadiya and Tom have comforted each other following their break-ups.

Nadiya and Tom felt disappointed since they didn’t advance in the contest, yet they managed to develop a connection outside of the dance floor.

Nadiya has consistently expressed that Tom conducts himself with the utmost gentility. Since her separation from Kai, he’s been a pillar of support for her.

The dance pair has frequently been spotted at different functions side by side, such as the Pride of Britain Awards, which they attended as part of their obligations for Strictly.

This year, Tom was the initial celebrity to exit Strictly, as he lost his spot in the competition to Toyah Willcox and Neil Jones. Both were eliminated the subsequent week due to more votes.

He confessed he was truly stunned and disappointed, having received the least number of votes from the audience and exiting the program in its first week.

In August, Tom shared a picture of him cuddling with Lottie in an elevator at work on Instagram.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, I frequently offer glimpses into my personal life online – from cherished moments spent with my significant other on unforgettable vacations, to heartwarming snapshots such as the one taken at our welcome-home party after the Paris Olympics, proudly showcasing Lottie by my side.

However, for several months, the executive’s Instagram activity was minimal compared to Tom, who consistently shared updates about his dance partnership with Nadiya on the platform.

They recently went to the Pride of Britain Awards held in October, and just last week, they had a shared lunch experience at The Waterside Inn. A variety of chefs prepared an astonishing array of dishes for their enjoyment.

Tom commented on a post Nadiya shared of the pair: ‘What an afternoon. Best food and best company.’

In the year following 2023, the three-time Olympic gold medalist was the first dance partner for Nadiya, who hadn’t been paired with a celebrity before.

In 2022, I had the privilege of working side by side with singer Matt Goss, and the year prior, I shared the spotlight with the esteemed former host of BBC Breakfast Show, Dan Walker. To this day, I’m fortunate to consider him a cherished friend.

In October, Nadiya revealed she ‘isn’t friends’ with ex-boyfriend and Strictly colleague Kai.

At the Pride of Britain Awards, Nadiya shared with The Mirror that she and Kai continue to collaborate on Strictly Come Dancing, maintaining a professional demeanor during their performances together.

Inquired about their current friendship status with Kai, Nadiya replied: “We collaborate professionally, yet we don’t socialize as friends – and that’s perfectly fine.

‘Let me assure you, when you witness us dancing together, it promises to be quite spectacular, given my professional background in dance.’

Nadiya pondered over her premature departure from Strictly this year, as she and athlete Tom were the initial duo to leave the competition.

She commented: ‘Leaving early is always unpleasant. Tom and I have received tremendous backing from many, and I sense the audience wished to witness his abilities, as did I. Unfortunately, someone had to depart, and it’s regrettable that it turned out to be Tom.’

Despite that, we’ll continue dancing. I plan on showing him some intricate salsa moves, including some impressive lifts. It’s not for television, but rather to demonstrate his potential brilliance.
