STRICTLY’s Nicola Adams kissed her hot girlfriend Ella Baig in Mykonos after becoming the first contestant to enter a same-sex dance partnership on the show.
The boxing champ jetted off on holiday with Ella, 21, ahead of her Strictly stint and the pair sizzled as they let off steam on the Greek Island.
Nicola, looking fantastic in a white bikini top and shorts, scooped stunning Ella into her arms and they frolicked in the pool of their luxury resort in a romantic display.
The Olympic star and Ella appeared smitten and puckered up for a sweet kiss, treasuring their time together before Nicola’s gruelling Strictly training schedule begins.
Later, the genetically blessed pair held hands as they went for a stroll around the resort.
Nicola is yet to find out which professional female dancer will be teaching her to cha cha cha when she takes to the floor in October.
Nicola – the first openly LGBT person to win a boxing Gold at the 2012 Games – confirmed she will make history this year by dancing with a woman on Strictly.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday, she said: “I think it’s really important – it’s a big step for the show. It’s nice to see that we’re able to move on.”
Nicola added she insisted on dancing with a girl when she got the call from the dance hit’s producers.
She explained: “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 dance partner.'”
Strictly has previously featured two male professionals dancing together – Johannes Radebe and Graziano di Prima – but only in a one-off routine.
Nicola started dating 21-year-old Ella – who is a beauty blogger and fashion stylist – in 2018 and the couple appeared on Celebrity Googlebox together earlier this year.
She has given fans a glimpse into the cosy South London home they share with their huge dog.

They live in Nicola’s London home which has a huge garden, with lots of space for her American bulldog Brooklyn to run around.
The perfectly kept lawn is surrounded by trees and ferns, and leads up to the decking and the house.
From here she has access to her own boxing gym, perfect for keeping the athlete in tip-top shape.
