Strictly's Nadiya breaks silence after hospital dash and ‘really really scary' fall in rehearsals
The pro admitted she'd been in tears following the painful incident
STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Nadiya Bychkova has broken her silence after a nasty fall in rehearsal sent her to hospital.
The popular show star was practicing ahead of the upcoming series when she fell and landed on her back.
Alongside a picture of her in a hospital bed, she wrote: "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."
She praised the "kind and caring" hospital staff, before revealing the smile on her face didn't reflect the emotions she'd experienced in the hours prior.
"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," she wrote.
"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!"
Nadiya is tipped to be partnered with England rugby hunk Chris Robshaw for the new series.

Strictly contestant calls the police and almost turned down the show after being targeted by stalker who issued 'disgusting threats'
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Chris Robshaw was forced to call the police after being targeted by a female stalker who issued 'disgusting threats'. The former rugby legend, 39, was one of the 15 celebrities to be announced for the BBC show this week, however, it has emerged that Chris nearly turned down the gig due to his shocking situation. The Sun reports that the sports star, who is married to opera singer Camilla Kerslake, 37, was subjected to a campaign of harassment from the woman after briefly meeting her twice at work events last year. Six months after their meeting, Chris was then said to have been targeted by the woman who proceeded to threaten violence and spread false allegations about him and his colleagues - causing Chris to contact the cops. It is reported that the woman, who is now on the National Police Wanted List, has fled the country and is being pursued by the police. A source told The Sun: 'Chris almost turned down Strictly because of what this woman has been putting him and his family through. She's made some disgusting threats. It has been awful for them. 'Chris and Camilla have been told by the police they're not alone. This woman has form for what she's been doing to them and has done it to other people too.' They added that the couple, who tied the knot in 2018, are the 'latest victims' in a 'string of lives' the woman attempted to 'destroy. Strictly bosses are said to be aware of Chris' ordeal and are supporting him. The insider added that Chris 'bit the bullet' and only went ahead with his Strictly stint for the sake of his son Wilding, four, who told his dad that he wanted 'mummy to laugh at your dancing'. They told how he'd been 'honest' with the BBC from the get go, with the broadcaster having been 'amazing' in 'supporting' Chris and are aware of everything that's happened. Chris' ordeal reportedly began in July last year when he attended the same event as the woman, who proceeded to make damning allegations about him and wife Camilla, whom he shares two sons with. The woman, who was known to the police, even posted their address online and called up companies Chris and Camilla worked with to spread her 'farcical' lies in an attempt to ruin their lives. The insider noted that it has been an 'absolutely terrible' time for the couple, stating that Chris has 'no idea' why he was targeted seeing as he was 'never alone' with the woman and 'barely spoke' to her.
