Nadiya Bychkova Shows Off Toned Physique in Stylish Step One Shoot

Nadiya Bychkova looked nothing short of sensational as she modelled five stylish looks from sustainable underwear brand Step One in a sizzling new photoshoot on Friday.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 36, who is gearing up for another glitzy ballroom season, flaunted her toned physique in a sleek white set featuring a SmoothFit padded bra and high-waisted body shorts.

In her second look, Nadiya slipped into a chic blush pink set, again featuring the SmoothFit padded bra – this time paired with classic bikini briefs. 

Flaunting her long, toned legs, she exuded confidence as she struck a sultry pose for the camera. 

She then posed for a close-up in a nude-toned set, which showed off her golden tan, before switching things up with a bold Blue Lagoon number that highlighted her washboard abs and lean dancer’s frame. 

For her final look, Nadiya chose a timeless black underwear set which featured a flattering padded bra and high-waisted body shorts, offering both style and support.

The Ukrainian-born star, known for her flawless footwork and captivating presence, praised the brand for its comfort and sustainability. 

Speaking about her favourite pieces, she said: ‘When I rehearse, I would usually choose the black set. It’s amazing, it’s practical, you feel free because you can do anything. It’s just so comfy. And I love it.

‘My favourite fit is the bikini brief, but I do like body shorts too. It’s such a difficult choice. I love it all.’ 

Step One, the Australian-born label founded by entrepreneur Greg Taylor in 2017, has revolutionised innerwear with its focus on sustainability and superior comfort.

Specialising in men’s and women’s underwear made from organically grown bamboo viscose, the label features anti-chafe technology, sweat-wicking properties, and UltraGlyde panels to prevent ride-up – ensuring all-day freshness and confidence.

Nadiya perfectly embodies Step One’s ethos of empowerment and elegance, blending her signature sparkle with the brand’s commitment to feel-good fashion. 

The shoot captured her in dynamic, dance-inspired settings that celebrated both her strength and the label’s sleek, breathable designs. 

The photoshoot comes after Nadiya revealed she is avoiding dating apps following her split from Kai Widdrington.

The dancer split with the fellow Strictly professional in June 2024, and he recently went Instagram official with new girlfriend Chloe Wells. 

Nadiya, who has been single since their split, attended a luxurious launch event at Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London, on Wednesday and gave an insight into her dating life. 

Speaking at the launch of Neer, a new social networking app, she explained why she has moved away from online dating. 

Nadiya said: ‘I think it’s better that people have conversations with each other rather than just being on your phones swiping left and right. I know we have busy lives, but it’s really important.’ 

The new app is designed to foster meaningful, in-person connections among young people. 

Kai has since found love again with executive assistant Chloe, who hails from Essex, after meeting on a night out at a West London pub.

And proving just how besotted they are, the dancer took to social media last month to share a loved-up snap of the couple looking adoringly into each other’s eyes.

Grinning from ear-to-ear, Kai looked elated while stunning brunette Chloe, cutting a glam figure in a brown mini dress, looked equally as taken with the hunk.

Captioning his snap, Kai simply penned: ‘Happiness is underrated’, alongside a black heart emoji. He also tagged his new girlfriend in the post.

The post garnered plenty of sweet comments from Kai’s fans and Strictly pals, while Chloe herself also replied with a red love heart emoji.   

According to The Sun, they have kept their romance private as Kai struggled with the publicity surrounding his past relationship with Nadiya, but are now set to make their debut red carpet appearance together.

And in a sign of how well things are progressing, the couple are reportedly planning to move in together soon.

A pal told the publication: ‘Chloe is a great girl and has absolutely no interest in the limelight; she just likes Kai for Kai. They have a real laugh together and although it’s early days, they’re planning on moving in together in the coming months.’

‘Kai found it very damaging to his mental health having his past relationship with Nadiya played out in public, and thankfully Chloe has no interest at all in being in the spotlight. She also isn’t a Strictly superfan, which makes things easier.

‘They’re super-content, and Kai attributes a lot of his looking so well to being in a happier place in life, thanks to her. They make a really cute couple.’

Representatives for Kai had no further comment when contacted by Daily Mail.
