Okay, so I was out and about in London’s Piccadilly at BeAtOne bar the other night, and let me tell you, Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova was there! She definitely turned heads before the big BBC final. It was a fun, lively atmosphere, and she was glowing!
The 36-year-old professional dancer showed off her flat stomach in a small gold crop top and a matching short leather skirt.
Nadiya, previously partnered with rugby player Chris Robshaw before being eliminated on week four of the show, confidently showcased her style in black thigh-high boots and a statement oversized blazer.
She enhanced her delicate features with glamorous makeup and added a touch of sparkle with eye-catching diamond earrings.
The celebrity completely changed her appearance over the weekend, revealing a beautiful new haircut.
The woman with blonde hair shared a photo on Instagram showing off her new haircut, which included waves that brushed her shoulders and a stylish fringe that really changed her look.



She shared a post saying: ‘It’s the semi-finals of Strictly! So much excitement, passion, and faith in all the dancers. I’m rooting for everyone tonight – each couple is fantastic. Don’t forget to vote for who you want to win!’
Nadiya looked incredibly glamorous in the new photos, and her hairstyle perfectly complemented her beautiful features and radiant makeup.
It hasn’t just been a hair transformation for her – reports surfaced earlier this year that she’s become close to a performer from London’s West End following her breakup with Kai Widdrington.
Reports suggest she’s moved on from her breakup with dancer Kai in June 2024 and is now dating Ian McIntosh, who is known for his role in Les Misérables.
The pair reportedly first connected in March and were seen together at the Les Misérables 40th Anniversary Gala in London in October.
Posing for photos on the red carpet, Ian wrapped an arm around Nadiya’s waist as they smiled.
I have to say, seeing Ian’s Instagram post – just a simple ‘What a glorious night!’ – really gave me a peek into how much fun he’s having. And it’s lovely to see! Remember back in October, everyone was buzzing about him and his date enjoying a cozy coffee in London? It’s all so sweet and seems like things are going really well for them.
According to a source, Nadiya and Ian met through friends and quickly connected.



They’ve appeared together at a few public events and expected people to figure out they were dating pretty quickly. They share a lot of interests and really enjoy each other’s company, which is wonderful to see. Friends and family are thrilled for them both.
Daily Mail has contacted both Nadiya and Ian’s representatives for comment.
Ian is famous for his roles as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables and Jesus in Tim Sheader’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
As a longtime theatre enthusiast, I was so thrilled to see this actor recognized for his incredible work! He earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role – and deservedly so! His performance as Barry Mann in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical was truly captivating and brought so much depth to the story.
Kai has confirmed his new relationship with Chloe Wells on Instagram, nine months after a difficult breakup with his previous partner. Chloe, an executive assistant from Essex, met Kai while they were out at a pub in west London.
Thomas Skinner, the first contestant eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing in 2025, is apparently taking the BBC to court. He claims show officials manipulated the public vote to ensure his removal, especially after some unfavorable news stories about him appeared.
The 34-year-old star of The Apprentice was already a divisive choice for the show because of his strong, conservative opinions. However, the criticism intensified when he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, Sinead, shortly after their wedding.
Even though many viewers said they were upset by Thomas’s performance, he believes he can demonstrate he got more votes from the public, which should have kept him from being eliminated.



Thomas and his dance partner, Amy Dowden, received low scores – a total of 29 out of 80 over two performances – and found themselves in the bottom two alongside Chris and Nadiya. Ultimately, the judges decided to save Chris and Nadiya.
The BBC is already dealing with a massive £7.5 billion lawsuit from Donald Trump, and now, Thomas – who is friends with Vice President JD Vance – is also suing them.
After a Panorama investigation revealed the corporation had altered the president’s speech, he filed a $10 billion lawsuit against them.
According to a statement given to The Sun, Thomas is convinced he received more public votes than reported and has proof to support his belief. He’s committed to pursuing the matter, but the BBC is prepared to strongly deny any accusations of vote rigging or manipulation.
He firmly believes the BBC was determined to remove him quickly, even if it meant losing support from his fans.
Daily Mail have contacted Thomas’ representatives for comment.
A BBC representative stated that the public voting process for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is reliable and carefully checked by an independent body to guarantee its accuracy.
