Strictly star Nadiya Bychkova delighted fans on Tuesday with a heartwarming update involving her rarely-seen daughter, Mila.
Over on Instagram, the ballroom pro posted a carousel of snapshots documenting her opening show alongside beau, Kai Widdrington. Sharing a glimpse inside her glitzy night, Nadiya included snaps of herself cheering on stage with Kai, in addition to a charming photograph of her little girl handing over a bouquet of red roses.
Mila could be seen embracing her mother in a touching display of affection as she made her way over to the edge of the stage. How sweet!
For the special performance, Nadiya slipped into a mesmerising silver mini-dress embellished with tassels and intricate iridescent beading. She styled her platinum blonde locks into mermaid-esque waves and finished off her look with glamorous makeup.
Overcome with emotion, the star wrote in her caption: "What a feeling [welling up emoji], what an opening night [heart emoji] trying to take it all in."

She continued: "Thank you to each and everyone for [their] support and hard work. The best team @nadiyaandkai , the best cast… the best audience and the best partner in crime @kaiwidd [heart emoji] So grateful… Another 35 shows to go. Tunbridge Wells tonight, see you guys."
Beau Kai was among the first to react, responding with: "My partner in crime always [red heart and flame emoji]."
Elsewhere, fans and friends raced to heap praise on the dancer, with one writing: "The third [photo] is everything," while a second remarked: "Precious photo of you and your daughter."
"Looks like it was an absolute dream, proud of you and Kai for putting on such an amazing show with your incredible cast!" commented a third, and a fourth added: "Congratulations gorgeous one."
Nadiya shares Mila with her ex-fiancé, Matija Škarabot. The dancer ended her engagement with the football star in 2021, and she has since found love with fellow Strictly co-star, Kai.
Taking their relationship to the next level, the smitten couple have welcomed a new addition to their family in the form of a new pet pooch called Snoopy.
