BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova told 'she's your twin' after 'special' moment with rarely-seen daughter

Nadiya Bychkova has hailed her 'favourite plus one' as she was seen making a public appearance with her daughter for the first time. The Strictly Come Dancing star is a proud mum to daughter Mila, who she shares with her former footballer fiancé Matija Škarabot.

She usually keeps the seven-year-old's identity hidden but loves showing off all the fun times they have over on social media. Nadiya, however, has now been flooded with messages after sharing pictures of herself and Mila at Corteo by Cirque du Soleil launch at the Royal Albert Hall.

The mother and daughter pair posed for pictures together on the red carpet before watching Cirque Du Soleil latest offering for the first time at the star-studded launch.

Nadiya looked fabulous as she smiled for the waiting cameras, with the dancer sporting a classic black dress which boasted a split up one thigh. Mila, meanwhile, looked adorable as she held her mum's had while smiling for pictures in a glittering dress and fur coat.

Alongside the post on Instagram, Nadiya wrote: "My favourite ever ‘plus 1’. Last night I got to walk the red carpet @corteo.cirquedusoleil @royalalberthall with my beautiful daughter, Mila. She told me it was the best day of her life and it was pretty special for me too."

She added: "The whole event was incredible and I’m so glad I got to share it with her - I can’t stop smiling when I look at the photos. #ProudMumIncredible Thank you for having us @greenroomvip #corteo #circusdusoleil."

Her Strictly pals were quick to respond with Aljaz Skorjanec writing: "So so so BEAUTIFUL," while Janette Manrara commented: "Beautiful ladies!!!!" Amy Dowden and Nancy Xu also responded to the post with red heart emojis.
