Strictly Come Dancing Star 'Axed' From Show
Four professional dancers, including Nadiya Bychkova, are leaving Strictly Come Dancing as BBC plans a major lineup refresh following presenter exits and recent controversies.
- On March 6, senior staff told Bychkova she will not return as a full‑time pro, reportedly making her the fourth professional leaving Strictly Come Dancing.
- Following the presenters' exits last year, producers moved to refresh the lineup as BBC executives are reportedly determined to revitalise BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing.
- Reports say Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk and Michelle Tsiakkas were also removed, with Gorka and Luba noted for long tenures and Michelle linked to the 2024 series.
- Senior staff report a 'super weird' atmosphere among remaining professionals, with some questioning their safety, while an insider said Bychkova is distraught.
- While the corporation finalises plans, professionals face uncertainty as the BBC said plans for Strictly Come Dancing 2026 will be confirmed 'in due course', and Nadiya Bychkova recently expressed hope to return, trusting producers' choices.
