Having joined Strictly Come Dancing three years ago, professional Nikita Kuzmin is currently partnered with Sam Quek on the show and the pair have been making quite a splash
Since joining Strictly Come Dancing back in 2021 as a professional dancer, Nikita Kuzmin has danced alongside the likes of Tilly Ramsay, Ellie Simmonds and Layton Williams. And in the current series of the BBC One show, Nikita has been partnered with BBC TV star and Olympic gold medallist Sam Quek.
Having grown up in Ukraine, Nikita was nine when his family moved to Italy so that his older sister Anastasia could pursue a dancing career. However, with a talent for dancing evidently running in his family’s blood, the Strictly pro followed in his sibling’s footsteps and he now has six national Italian championship titles to his name.
Away from the ballroom, Nikita was previously in a relationship with choreographer and designer Nicole Wirt though the star couple split in 2022 after five years together. During their time together, the pair kept their romance relatively low-key and shied away from too many overt displays of affection on social media.
In January last year, Nikita was seen holding hands with podcaster Charlie Backshall but now he is known to be dating 23 year old model Lauren Jaine.
