BBC Strictly Come Dancing star 'splits up from famous fiancé'

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova has split from her fiancé, according to reports.

Nadiya has not been wearing a wedding ring during recent appearances, it has been reported.

The star is now single having called time on her relationship, it is claimed, as BirminghamLive reports.

The pro dancer was paired up with BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker on the show last year.

Nadiya even moved to Sheffield to live near Dan and his kids so their rehearsals for the show were easier.

The 32 year old has called off her wedding to Slovenian footballer, Matija Skarabot, with whom she shares a child.

A source said: “Matija is dedicated to his footballing career in Slovenia and Nadiya is predominantly based in London.

“Performing on Strictly and the Strictly Live Tour takes up half her year, in the end the commitment to their jobs made it too difficult for the relationship to work.

“There is still a lot of love between them.”

Nadiya and Dan were eliminated from the show in early December.

They had faced a dance-off with Kai Widdrington and AJ Odudu.

Odudu was forced to pull out of the series and most recently the Strictly tour after injuring her foot.

She will be replaced by EastEnders star Maisie Smith, who was a finalist in the 2020 series.
