The star, who is mum to seven-year-old Mila from a previous relationship, opened up on raising her daughter alone and what she thought about getting on to dating apps.
Speaking about being a single parent at the National Film Awards, Nadiya said: 'In some ways it's easier, in some ways it's more difficult.
"I think what was really helpful to me was that I realised there is no rule book. There is no recipe."
Nadiya added: "It will be like this now. Because they are growing, our lives are changing especially with my type of work. I have different projects all the time so it is not 9-5.

'It is still different things. I think it is important for a parent to accept that it is a constant search for that balance we want to bring to our lives and our kids' lives."
The pro dancer explained: "Once you accept it and say this is how it is going to be it becomes easier. This is what it is. It's like learning to surf and riding the wave. Every now and again you can fall off and then you get back up again. Then you find beauty in it."
Naidya also spoke about the prospect of dating and potentially having more children.
'If the time is right, if I pick the right man, if I am able to then absolutely I'll have more kids," she said.
