'Devoted friend' Dan Walker takes a night away from his family holiday to attend event with ex Strictly partner Nadiya Bychkova where pair 'raise eyebrows' with 'close connection'

'Devoted friend' Dan Walker spent a night away from his family holiday to attend an event with former Strictly Come Dancing partner Nadiya Bychkova.

Father of three Dan explained how he had flown to the capital from Nice, France, leaving his children and wife Sarah to adhere to his work commitments, before flying back on a 6am flight to continue their quality time together. Meanwhile, onlookers at the TV and radio event say Dan seemed enchanted by Nadiya, who wore an elegant black and white gown, as the pair appeared to reignite their close friendship, which MailOnline previously revealed was the talk of Strictly. Sources have revealed that Dan, who name-checked Nadiya on several occasions during his presentation of the TRIC Awards, acted as her 'Instagram husband', taking time to capture the star from her best angles with a selfie ring light, before they continued their night together at an after party, held at the 5-star hotel's Red Bar.
