Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova's friendship is the talk of Strictly with stars 'obsessed' over how close the dance partners remain three years after competing on BBC show


The Channel 5 News presenter, 47, competed on the BBC series with Nadiya, 35, in 2021 and together the pair danced their way to the quarter finals.

More than three years on from the TV competition, Dan remains good friends with the Ukrainian dancer, and they regularly spend time in each other's company and share snaps of their outings on Instagram, which is in stark contrast to his relationship with wife of 23-years Sarah, who he keeps ultra private. Sitting behind the desk together, Dan interviewed Nadiya about her life including the glitz and glamour of Strictly, leaving home at the age of 10 years old, and how she achieved her dancing dreams. She expressed her fondness for Dan by commenting 'So proud of you partner, congratulations' with two lobster emojis, after he won the Presenter of the Year Award at a broadcasting ceremony in November.
