Strictly’s Nicola Adams sweeps girlfriend off her feet for an amorous snog

Strictly Come Dancing ‘s Nicola Adams put on a rather amorous display as she quite literally swept her girlfriend off her feet.

During a loved-up dip in the pool on their holiday, Nicola is seen scooping partner Ella Baig up into her arms to pull her in for a snog in the Mirror’s stunning exclusive pictures.

The pair are blowing off some steam on a sun-soaked trip to Mykonos ahead of Nicola’s groundbreaking stint on the BBC One show.

The boxer, 37, is going to be one half of the show’s first ever same-sex pairing after telling bosses it was the only way she’d sign up.

There have been calls for two men or two women to dance together on the show for years, and execs have finally decided to go for it after testing the waters last year with professionals Johannes Radebe and Graziano di Prima.

While some people complained about seeing the men dance together, the overall response was overwhelmingly positive.

And Olympic Gold medalist Nicola is a fantastic choice for the show’s first same-sex celebrity dancer.

But before it’s time to get her dancing shoes on, Nicola has been enjoying as much quality time as she can with beauty blogger and stylist Ella, 22.

In a series of stunning pictures, Nicola and Ella are seen making the most of their romantic trip.

Nicola displayed her ripped physique in a white Tommy Hilfiger bikini top and matching swim shorts as she walked hand-in-hand with her girl.

Blonde beauty Ella opted for a grey two-piece, made up of high-waisted bottoms and a tie-front top with a plunging neckline.

The pair looked absolutely smitten as they walked together by the pool, going for a dip to cool off during their trip to the Greek island.

Ella’s huge thigh tattoo was on display as she lay back on the steps of the pool for a cosy chat with Nicola, who showed off her own inkings.

The pair looked absolutely besotted with each other as they larked about in the pool.

Nicola scooped Ella into her arms and jokingly lifted her up out of the water while they shared plenty of laughs and made lots of memories.

The couple have been together since 2018.

They revealed during an appearance on Loose Women this year that they met on a night out and clicked instantly.

Nicola said she’d been at a birthday party, while Ella was heading out after a wedding.

They giggled when they were asked if it was “love at first sight”.

“It was definitely something along those lines,” Ella answered.

They live together in South London with their pet bulldog Brooklyn.

After the Mirror exclusively revealed Nicola would be in the show’s first same-sex couple, she spoke about how she had pushed for it.

She said: “I asked the show about it. They wanted to know if I wanted to be on the show and I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it, but I want to dance with another female’.

“It’s really important, it’s a big step for the show as well. It’s nice to see that we’re able to move on. I just can’t wait to get some dancing done, really.”

She added: “I want to thank the BBC for supporting me and making me the first ever all female-pairing. And it’s amazing to be a part of the movement for change, diversity and breaking boundaries in the ­entertainment industry.”
