Taking to social media after learning the news, she wrote: “I’m sure you’ll understand that I’m disappointed not to be partnered with a celebrity on @bbcstrictly this series.

“It is an amazing show to be a part of and I’m still so excited for all the group numbers, performing with some of our music acts and much much more.

“I’m also looking forward to supporting my fellow pros and I want to wish all the couples the best of luck for the competition this year.”

Speaking to the Mail Online after issuing the statement, the dancer said she is using the extra hours on her hands to spend precious time with her daughter Mila.

The dancer shares her six-year-old with Slovenian footballer Matija Škarabot, who she split from last year.

Following their break-up, she began dating her fellow Strictly pro Kai Widdrington.

He is currently partnered up with this year’s oldest contestant Angela Rippon, who has been impressing judges with her flexibile moves.

Since joining the show in 2017, Nadiya has been partnered up with Matt Goss, Davood Ghadami, Lee Ryan, David James and Dan Walker.
