He said, ‘There’s going to be a lot of ballroom dancing and Latin dancing, so we’ll be doing a lot of what we’re good at.
Nadiya added: “It’s the best, in our lives we are very busy to have the opportunity to do what we love together.” My dream was always to tour and headline and it’s even more special because it’s the two of us.
‘We love dancing together, we feel that when we dance together magic happens, it’s perfect’.
