Nadiyas Daughter Mila Shines at Dance Competition

proved the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as her daughter Mila, 10, won several medals at a dance competition.  

The axed Strictly star, 36, took to Instagram on Monday and shared several photos of Mila taking part in the event held at the InterContinental London at The O2.

Nadiya also posted a clip of Mila on the dancefloor and a snap of the pair together with several medals draped around her daughter's neck.    

Alongside the post, she wrote: 'So proud of my little girl.✨ Another competition weekend, more medals, more memories... and watching her fall in love with dance in her own way is my favourite part of all of this. Keep shining, my Mila.'

Nadiya looked incredible for the event in a white blazer and matching trousers which she wore with open-toe heels. 

Mila's father is Matija Škarabot, a Slovenian footballer to whom Nadiya was previously engaged before they split.  

Strictly viewers have been left stunned in recent weeks as dancers Nadiya, , 43, Michelle Tsiakkas, 30, , 36, and , 35, have all been given the boot. 

BBC bosses have still not secured new hosts, and it's a race against time with just four months to go before the 24th series is due to kick off.

Leaks about celebrity competitors normally begin to circulate around this time of year, but instead all the focus is on finding replacements for and , who departed the flagship show last year.

Tess and Claudia announced they were leaving back in October but six months on there is still no confirmation of who will take over.

After weeks of speculation and multiple major names turning the job down, nine shortlisted stars were summoned to a top-secret location in London to battle it out in full-scale dress rehearsals with a judging panel and live band in a bid to get the troubled show back on track. 

BBC bosses held secret auditions and chemistry tests with the celebrities and forced the stars to sign strict NDAs to keep the tryouts under wraps.

A source told The Sun: 'It's not just about reading autocue. They'll be looking at how people work together and humour is a massive part of it. There's everything to play for.' 

The chosen few who were called to the final test were watched closely and bosses are hoping to make a decision soon.

Among those confirmed to be in the callbacks were Rylan Clark, Emma Willis, Tom Allen, podcast host Angela Scanlon and One Show presenter Alex Jones.

Other stars summoned to the auditions were This Morning host Alison Hammond, The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh, RuPaul's Drag Race star La Voix and Radio 2's Zoe Ball.

A source said: 'They really want to bring the fun this year. It's all about chemistry who clicks instantly and can keep the energy up live on air.

'They could stick with two female hosts as that's worked brilliantly. But they're also open to mixing it up.

'If Rylan and Tom Allen click, that could be a hilarious pairing. Equally, they could even introduce a third presenter to shake things up.'

Bosses are believed to be testing a range of combinations and nothing is off the table.

Daily Mail contacted BBC representatives for comment.
