With autumn chills sweeping the UK, Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova was feeling a little nostalgic for summertime this week.
The Slovenian-Ukrainian pro dancer, 31, slipped into a modern white bikini, insisting it was “summer somewhere” as she snapped a selfie for her fans.
Featuring a geometric cut-out design, the white two-piece was tugged high on her hips, showing off Nadiya’s toned dancer’s physique.
Cut in an asymmetrical style, the bikini top fell open at the bust, her gym-honed abs peeking through under the skintight fabric.
With her blonde locks swept back in a bun, she leaned across the wall of her living room, posing before a mirror as the sunlight filtered into the room.
Barely-there makeup and a silver bangle topped off the look, her wedding ring catching the light as she held up her phone to her reflection.

Tagging her location as “somewhere over the rainbow,” she penned the caption: “Because it’s summer somewhere.”
Naturally, the comment section below was awash with fire emojis, as Nadiya’s 78,900 followers praised her athletic curves and chic sense of style.
One exclaimed: “B****y hell, me screen just melted!”
“Unbelievably gorgeous…” swooned a third.
“Vision of beauty,” penned a third smitten fan.
Nadia first appeared on Strictly back in 2017, when she twirled into sixth place in the competition with EastEnders actor Davood Ghadami.

The following year, she was paired with Blue singer Lee Ryan, and last year footballer David James was assigned to lead her around the dance floor.
However, the dancer, whose specialty is in the Latin and ballroom styles of dance, hasn’t returned to the competition this year.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the BBC show was forced to reduce the number of live shows, with just nine episodes instead of the usual 12.
Nadiya isn’t the only pro dancer to go without a celeb partner – Neil Jones, Graziano Di Prima, and Nancy Xu haven’t been paired up either.

Even though she isn’t taking part in the competition, Nadiya will still be watching the series, in particular, rooting for the first same-sex couple to hit the dance floor.
Speaking about Nicola Adams and Katya Jones’ historic pairing in an interview with the Daily Express this month, the Eastern European star said: “It will be interesting.
“I’m intrigued to see the reaction of the judges. Nicola will be taking the man’s role so I think that will be quite a challenge for Katya.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays at 7.50pm on BBC One.
