Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova shares health update after horror fall
"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 said at the time.
"The staff at the hospital were so kind and caring. 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.
"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."
And now, she revealed she received endless kind messages from fans in support of the star. She insisted she's okay and will be back on the dancefloor in no time.
She wrote on her Instagram Stories: "I've had so many kind messages over the past 48 hours - Thank you for your love and support. So many questions too so I just wanted to let you know that I had another scan today - just to check things over - and some more physio from Strictly team and I'll be back on that dance floor tomorrow.
"I feel a lot more like myself today, can't wait to be back with my Strictly family and looking forward for the new series."

I'm A Celebrity icon tipped to return as hotly anticipated All Stars takes shape
The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa all-stars series is officially returning to ITV later in 2025—and several legendary jungle stars are in talks to come back. Starting in 2024, I'm A Celebrity… South Africa reunites old campmates from the ITV game show. This time, however, they're trading the Australian jungle for the desert. Last series saw the likes of Shaun Ryder, Gillian McKeith, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, and Jordan Banjo giving up luxuries for a gruelling challenge once more. The competition was ultimately won by Myleene Klass, who had originally finished second during the show's sixth series almost 20 years ago… but now, some more famous faces are coming for her crown. According to new reports, the latest former campmate being eyed up by bosses is none other than Ashley Roberts, whose first Jungle stint came in 2012. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Speaking of a potential return from the Pussycat Doll, 43, a source teased that there could be some very memorable scenes from her, thanks to one key element of the camp. 'Producers would love to see Ashley head back to camp. She's warm, hilarious, and, of course, drop-dead gorgeous. 'Just like Myleene Klass, who won the first All Stars series back in 2023, Ashley had some iconic moments soaping up in the outback waterfall,' they told The Sun. But that's not all, as a former fifth-place contestant is also looking set to go back, just three years after first taking on the dreaded trials. Reportedly keen for more, comedian Seann Walsh, 39, previously used the programme to redeem himself after his Strictly Come Dancing kissing scandal four years prior. A TV insider explained to The Sun that trying to claw back some of his reputation was 'no mean feat', given that 'he'd been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya (Jones) and his treatment of his girlfriend.' 'Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest,' shared the source. 'Part of the reason why he came across comparatively well was because he went into I'm A Celebrity with an even bigger love rat. 'His entry into the camp was alongside former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who was at the centre of an exclusive in The Sun revealing he had had an affair with a political adviser, Gina Coladangelo, in 2021.' But the rumour mill doesn't stop spinning there, as beloved King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp is also said to be close to signing on the dotted line with ITV bosses. As per The Sun, Harry, 78, who became the oldest-ever winner in 2018 and was paid £500,000 for his stint, will fly back out for round two in autumn before the series airs in the New Year. 'It's going to be a real coup,' a source told the paper. 'Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.' The football icon's win in the main series was watched by 11million people, with the nation reduced to tears as he was reunited with his wife, Sandra, on the bridge after, having frequently declared his love for her while in camp. Harry's first run for Jungle champ made him one of the programme's high earners, but the likes of Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage still come out on top, having received a mega £1.5million for their signings. And Harry's people are remaining tight-lipped on his career plans currently, as a spokesperson for the sports star said in response to the rumours: 'This is speculation.' Meanwhile, there's another huge name already attached to the upcoming South Africa series… and it's Gemma Collins. The Towie star and TV personality, 44, is one of the most treasured personalities on British TV, and ITV is apparently hoping she'll boost viewing figures again this time around. Gemma infamously only managed three days in the Jungle when she was last on the show and made no secret of how much she hated every second. 'People who murder get treated better than this,' she famously said before quitting. 'That's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.' Gemma's tears and tantrums gave social media a meme collection that still gets used today, so it's no surprise she's wanted back. A source told The Sun previously: 'She hated it first time round, but knows it would be TV gold for her fans if she gave it another go. 'The discussions could go either way, but signing her would be a huge win for execs.' For Gemma fans hoping she'll give I'm A Celebrity a second try, the recent rumours line up very nicely with comments the Dancing On Ice star made in 2019. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, she said: 'I will never forget getting the call. Looking back, I don't feel I was ready for that show. I was new to TV; I was the underdog on Towie. 'I wasn't the best-looking girl, I didn't have a model figure, I was this car girl from Romford selling cars. I was being put in the Jungle, and in hindsight, I wasn't ready for it.' She continued: I felt hugely out of my depth—I was petrified. If I was to go back now, I've got more experience. I've got a tougher skin now, and I think that's where the GC came into play. If they asked me back, yes, I'd go back.' Things didn't get off to a good start when Gemma went into the jungle in 2014, firstly refusing to parachute into camp with the rest of her teammates. She then withdrew due to panic attacks and later said that her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Moss, had 'severely beaten' her the night before she joined. The reality star said that ITV advised against her entering at first, but Gemma insisted she didn't want to waste the opportunity of a lifetime. Alexander, now 44, was eventually jailed for 21 months in 2019. Gemma told the Everything I Know About Me podcast: '[There was] all the embarrassment of like, you know what the TV programmes were saying, 'Gemma Collins left the Jungle, she was hungry, she was this.' And it wasn't my fault. More Trending 'I can remember lying in my flat where I lived and just thinking, I just want to die. I haven't done anything wrong. I've left the Jungle because of something that happened to me.' ITV has been contacted for comment. I'm a Celebrity… South Africa will return to ITV1 and ITVX early next year.
