And she told her followers not to believe everything they read.

Sharing a defiant picture of herself on the dance floor, Nadiya said: “Don’t believe everything that is reported in the papers, or what you see.

Has Nadiya said anything else?

Nadiya posted on Instagram earlier today (January 30).

She shared an adorable photo with her daughter Mila and said she can’t wait to see her.

“I can’t wait for you to join me in the UK my little princess 👸🏼 in couple of weeks,” Nadiya posted.

“And I am so grateful for FaceTime so I can speak to Mila every day during the tour. It’s the highlight of my day.”

When did Nadiya split from her fiancé?

Nadiya and Kai couple are thought to have become close after Nadiya confided in him about her split from fiancé Matija Skarabot.

Kai has also been through a break up, apparently parting ways with his dancer girlfriend Giulia Dotta not long before he made his Strictly debut.

A source previously told The Sun that Kai and Nadiya had forged a very strong friendship on the BBC ballroom show and that they have “incredible chemistry”.
