Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin has told how he feared his 'invisible health battle would risk ending his career. .
However, despite their multiple top marks during the grand final, they missed out on lifting the Glitterball trophy to actress Ellie Leach and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola.

Now, Nikita has said while opening up to The Sun: "It was quite traumatic because I was diagnosed in the middle of the night. It was literally like 2am when we arrived at the children’s hospital because my blood sugar levels were extremely high. They were spiking, and I had been feeling very ill for about a week. I’m grateful to my father and mother for taking me to hospital, as they figured out that it might be diabetes.
