She told PopEater, "I was lucky enough to be invited to be a part of it. I have not watched TV in almost a decade, but I might just tune into this one! This is called Celebridate and I don't perceive myself to be a celebrity, but I guess they do. To a certain degree, I am in the public eye."

During the show different celebrities will go out with non-celebs to see if sparks fly. Sounds like Nadya is pretty green though when it comes to the dating department. "I've never dated," she admits.
"This is actually the first time I have dated in my life. I've had one boyfriend, it was very fascinating to me; it was an unforgettable experience. I am painfully shy and anxious...that's just my personality."
