“She has come to terms with it over the past few weeks, and will do her best to support Kai during the series. But it was devastating news for her.”
After liking the comment, Nadiya allegedly responded with a thank you and white heart emoji.
The pro dancer was paired with Matt Goss last year.
A Strictly spokeswoman declined to comment, but a source added: “Whilst not every pro always dances with a celebrity partner, every single one of them is an equally valued and important member of the Strictly family.”
