Nadiya Bychkova is such a thoughtful friend and co-star, as she proved again on Sunday, when she wished one of her colleagues luck with their exciting new venture.
The Strictly star took to her Instagram Stories, where she tagged her fellow dancer Graziano Di Prima and wrote: "Have the best opening night…" as she shared an image of the poster for his UK tour, which is titled Believe: My Life on Stage.
The sweet message comes soon after Nadiya confirmed her feelings for her boyfriend Kai Widdrington, who she fell in love with in 2022, after they danced together on the popular BBC show.
Last month, the pair exchanged sweet messages on Instagram, where they revealed their hopes for their future together. It's safe to say Kai is besotted with his beau and confessed she is "My Valentine forever," in a touching post on 14 February.

Nadiya looked like a Hollywood star donning a glittering halterneck gown in a flattering nude shade. Captioning the post alongside her beloved, she penned: "Loose Women ready [kissing face emoji]."

Meanwhile, Kai looked ultra-slick in a crisp white suit complete with a black bowtie. Nadiya rested her head on Kai's cheek in the candid behind-the-scenes shot before filming themselves having a twirl backstage. Nadiya's toned dancer's physique was displayed in her dazzling gown that featured a dramatic low back.

The stars even gave a glimpse of their rehearsal before stepping out on the live show and looked sensational as they danced across the studio. Before falling in love with her fellow Strictly dancer, Nadiya was engaged to Slovenian footballer Matija Skarabot, with whom she shares her seven-year-old daughter, Mila.
As she revealed in an exclusive interview with HELLO!, the youngster was Nadiya's main concern when she started dating Kai. "This was my first relationship after not being with the father of my daughter, and being a mother to Mila was and still is my priority," the professional dancer said.
"When you're a mum, you don’t jump into a relationship saying: 'I'm in love,' and that's it. It's a big responsibility and I'm very protective of my daughter."
