STRICTLY star Nadiya Bychkova got all glammed up as she swapped the ballroom for the DJ booth.
The pro dancer, 34, sparkled in a feathery bejewelled jumpsuit as she made her debut behind the turntables at the Discoliscious event on Saturday in Shoreditch, East London.
Celebrity Gogglebox’s Denise van Outen and actress Jemma Bolt, were also guest DJs on the night in aid of LGBTQ+ rights charity Stonewall.
Nadiya was joined by boyfriend Kai Widdrington.

“On the basis of height, it was expected that they would form a duo on this series.

“It’s not solely about the actual age gap, however."
