The Ukrainian-born dancer, known for her dazzling performances on the BBC show, suffered the accident while preparing for the upcoming series. Details remain scarce, but sources confirm it was serious enough to require immediate medical attention.
Panic on the Dance Floor
Witnesses described a moment of sheer panic as the 34-year-old collapsed during an intense practice session. Fellow dancers and crew members reportedly sprang into action, calling an ambulance within minutes.
"It was absolutely horrific to watch," an insider revealed. "One minute she was mid-routine, the next she was on the floor in obvious pain. Everyone's just praying she makes a full recovery."

The Strictly production team has closed ranks around their star, with several professional dancers visiting Bychkova in hospital. Her celebrity partner from last season is said to be "devastated" by the news.
BBC representatives released a brief statement: "We can confirm a professional dancer received medical treatment following an incident during rehearsals. The welfare of our cast and crew is always our top priority."
