Nadiya Bychkova has confirmed her exit from Strictly Come Dancing after nine years, amid a reported shake-up at the BBC. The departure comes after another co-star, Karen Hauer, also recently left the show, and as the BBC undergoes changes, including the appointment of a new director-general. The exits are part of a larger overhaul, with another professional, Michelle Tsiakkas, also leaving the series after four years.
