Nadiya Bychkova claims senior royal wants to join cast of Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova said the Princess Royal wants to appear in the BBC flagship dance competition.
Professional dancer Bychkova has claimed that Anne told her last month âat a ballet eventâ that she would like to join the cast of Strictly Come Dancing.
âShe is a Strictly fan, and she wants to go on the show â she told me,â 34-year-old Bychkova told the Sun newspaper.
âShe did say that.
âI think she would be good â thereâs a lot of personality there, isnât there?â
It comes after the Queen announced âIâm one of Strictlyâs greatest fansâ after star Johannes Radebe presented her with a pair of steel-shod shoes at an event in Cambridge in February.
Speaking on the royalâs love for Strictly, Bychkova added: âThey love it, and they watch it all the time.
âWhenever you see royals at events, they all know whatâs going on.
âIâm not from this country so I donât know all the royal etiquette, but you learn through situations, and I just try to be (as) respectful as I can when I meet the royals.
âIt just blows your mind to think how big this show is.â
Bychkova insinuated she would put a good word in for Anne to show bosses.
âWe get that privilege, and because of the show, we end up in circles with celebrities who love Strictly.
âSo whenever we speak with the producers I say, âWhat about this person?, or, âWhat about that person?â.â
This year will mark 20 years since Strictly Come Dancing came to TV screens.
