"Here we are," she wrote. "And it only means that Christmas is around the corner. Excited for some @bbcstrictly magic on Christmas Day. Let's do it partner."
Dan also uploaded a video of the two in the rehearsal studio, as she asks him whether he knows what various pieces of dance terminology mean, and he didn't. "How lovely," she said dryly, before handing him a pair of shoes and stating that they had some work to do.
"There is a long and lonely road ahead for @nadiyabychkova," he wrote. "Find out if we reach our destination on @bbcstrictly Xmas Special."
