has declared her love for one of her pals, years after they starred alongside each other on Strictly Come Dancing, as they enjoyed a 'special' moment together.

The professional dancer was paired with former EastEnders star Davood Ghadami during the BBC One dance contest in 2017 when singer Alexandra Burke competed in the popular show with Gorka

Márquez.

Following the show, Nadiya and Alexandra have remained good friends and often share updates when they hang out together or support each other's ventures on social media.

On Monday (June 2), Nadiya took to social media with a string of pictures and videos as she headed with Alexandra, who shot to fame when she won The X Factor in 2008, to London's O2 to watch

John Legend in action.

The Strictly star posed for a number of snaps in which she looked fabulous in a silky black mini dress, which she rocked with a vibrant red lip and her blonde locks worn in soft curls.

Nadiya also beamed alongside Alexandra and the pair were seen singing and dancing together as they watched the American singer-songwriter on stage.

a kind. Every moment felt like magic.

like home @alexandraburke love you my sis. We sang every word, danced like no one was watching, and made memories I’ll treasure. Music really is soul medicine."

Alexandra was quick to respond to the post as she gushed: "The best night! Love you my Sis." Strictly host Tess Daly also reacted to the post, sharing a number of love heart emojis in the

comments section.

Fans were also posting the messages. @tuddy2 said: "Looking amazing Nadiya." @emmaco75 commented: "Looking gorgeous Nadiya!!" @stel.lalager wrote: "Wow. Absolutely amazing."

@strictly_forever.x added: "So pretty!! I absolutely love your dress."

It comes after Nadiya gave an update on her sporting skills away from the ballroom. The 35-year-old is a keen golfer and alongside a video on the course, she revealed: "First ever full 18

holes at @woburngolfclub.
