Strictly pro Nadiya Bychkova experienced a minor wardrobe malfunction during her Cha Cha performance with Tom Dean. Despite the stumble, the pair impressed the judges with their resilience.
BollywoodFever: On Saturday night’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing (September 28), professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova encountered a minor wardrobe malfunction just minutes into her Cha Cha performance with Olympic swimmer Tom Dean. The pair, who danced to Earth, Wind & Fire’s Boogie Wonderland, had just begun their routine when Nadiya’s dress got caught, leading to a brief stumble.
Despite the snag, both Nadiya and Tom carried on with the performance, and the judges took note of their perseverance. Shirley Ballas, head judge, was the first to mention the “tiny mishap,” which she attributed to Nadiya. Host Tess Daly also confirmed the incident for viewers, stating, “We had a little costume malfunction! It ripped on her leg.” Nadiya humorously pointed out the tear, and she and Tom shared a laugh over the situation.
While Shirley commended Tom for his composure, Craig Revel Horwood was less forgiving, critiquing him for “lacking fluidity.” The duo earned 20 points for their effort.
Other Highlights from the Night
This week’s show also saw JLS star JB Gill deliver an enchanting Waltz to Leo Sayer’s When I Need You, scoring 31 points with partner Amy Dowden. Amy’s return was particularly celebrated as she had missed last season due to recovering from stage three breast cancer.
However, at the bottom of the leaderboard were singer Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones, whose Tango to Madonna’s Ray of Light earned them just 12 points.
Strictly Come Dancing is now in full swing, with celebrities and their partners competing to win over both the judges and the voting public each week.
