‘I think she would be good — there’s a lot of personality there, isn’t there?’
The two-time World and European Champion seemed thrilled about Princess Anne’s comment – and said she’d ‘put a good word in’ as she suggests candidates to show bosses.
And Princess Anne is not the first royal to have expressed their admiration for the beloved dancing series, with also Queen Camilla admitting she was ‘one of Strictly’s greatest fans’.
Nadiya added the royals are self-confessed fanatics of the show, remarking they ‘watch it all the time’.
The ballroom favourite, who is dating fellow pro dancer Kai Widdrington, admitted to be ‘mind-blown’ realising how big the show is.
Nadiya’s partner Kai, 28, recently opened up about his relationship with the dancer’s daughter Mila.
The professional dancer said it was ‘very important he got it right’ with Mila, who he described as ‘one of the cleverest little girls he’d ever met’.
Kai revealed that Mila, seven, can speak an incredible four different languages, like her mother Nadiya who speaks English, Ukrainian, Slovenian and Russian.

He said: ‘It was very important that we get it right. First of all when we got together, we wanted to make sure that we want to be together and it’s all going to go well.
‘After meeting her, she is one of the cleverest little girls I have ever met. She speaks four languages.’
Kai also revealed the new nickname that she has for him, which he said has changed since he last appeared on the show.
He said: ‘She has a new nickname for me – I remember last time I was on the show, it was Kai Lemon Pie, but now it’s Kai Cotton Candy Pie for 2024.’
The dancing duo appeared on Loose Women and performed a routine from their dance tour and opened up on what daily life together was like for them.
It seems as though Mila could follow in her professional dancer mother’s footsteps, as Kai shared: ‘She likes dancing with mummy.’
Nadiya said: ‘We are practising later, she’s preparing for a little competition later this week. I don’t really get involved.
‘I want her to have her own experience, I don’t want to be that parent who’s saying no, you need to do that. I’m just there watching her dance and I feel so proud.’
She also said: ‘Mila is seven so she’s quite a busy young lady. On weekends it’s art classes and dance classes and ballet. Now I’m planning my schedule around her schedule.’
