Strictly pro Nadiya Bychkova shared earlier this week that she had ended up in hospital amid rehearsals for the BBC show’s return and she’s since issued an update to fans
Professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova has shared an update after ending up in hospital amid Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals. She previously revealed that she had landed on her back in a fall during a training session this week.
It was announced on Tuesday that Nadiya, 35, had been in rehearsals in London for the new series of the BBC show that afternoon when she injured herself. Then, yesterday, she told fans that she’d got “the all-clear” at hospital and assured that she will be back on the dancefloor “soon”.
The pro has now issued another update ahead of returning to rehearsals for the show, which is expected to launch next month. It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement.

Nadiya took to Instagram this evening with a message for her followers on the platform. She expressed gratitude for the support she’s received this week and revealed in the post that she will be back on the dancefloor tomorrow.
She wrote: “Hi everyone! I’ve had so many kind messages over the past 48 hours – thank you for your love and support. So many questions too so I just wanted to let you know that I had another scan today – just to check things over – and some more physio from the Strictly team and I’ll be back on that dancefloor tomorrow.”
Nadiya concluded by saying that she’s looking forward to the new series. She wrote in her statement earlier: “I feel a lot more like myself today, can’t wait to be back with my [Strictly] family and looking forward for the new series.”
Earlier this week, a source revealed to the Mirror that Nadiya had injured herself during rehearsals. They said: “It looked pretty nasty and no-one was taking any chances. The Strictly crew rushed into action and she was stretchered out.”
A source close to Strictly said: “As a precaution, following a fall during rehearsals, Nadiya was taken to hospital for checks and is receiving full support from medical and welfare teams. Rehearsals continue and the Strictly team are in close contact with Nadiya.”
The following day, Nadiya shared details about the incident. Alongside a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed, she wrote yesterday: “Well… where do I start? What a 24 hours! Thank you so much for all the messages, love and support.
“I just wanted you to know that I am ok. I had a fall in training yesterday and landed on my back. I was really worried for a while and I was so thankful to the Strictly family and medical team who really looked after me. The staff at the hospital were so kind and caring.”
She added: “I’m smiling in the picture but it was really scary and there were a few tears as I had to lie still for hours but I was given the all-clear after an x-ray and allowed to go home.”
Nadiya then told her followers: “I’ve got some physio today but I will be back on that dance floor soon and I’ll be ready to shine and sparkle in the new series of the biggest show on TV. I can’t wait for you to see it. Keep dancing!”
