Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin has marked the end of his latest solo tour, Supernova, ahead of his return to the BBC One dance show for its 2026 series.
Tour Finale and Social Media Tribute
On Sunday, July 26, the 28-year-old dancer took to Instagram to announce the conclusion of his nationwide tour, which began earlier in 2025. Sharing photos from the show, he wrote: "SUPERNOVA OVER AND OUT [heart emoji]. It's not often that you get so lucky to be surrounded by people who you love, admire, get inspired by and want to spend time with every single day. I was this year. These last 3 months went by so quickly, but I will cherish those memories forever [heart emoji]."
He thanked his team, saying: "Thank you to my team for bringing joy and love to every single day we got to spend together. I love you guys and a million thank you wouldn't be enough [heart emoji]. Thank you to every person who was involved in Supernova from the very begging till the very end, you know who you are and you're special people to me [heart emoji]."
Fan and Fellow Dancer Support
Kuzmin also expressed gratitude to audiences: "Thank you to the tens of thousands of people who came to see the show, we felt your love every single day, this show wouldn't be possible without you [heart emoji]." He added: "Feel sad writing this with the realization that it's over, but extremely grateful that it all happened [heart emoji]. I LOVE YOU ALL."
The post drew an outpouring of support. His sister Anastasia commented: "Incredible! @jasongilkison you're amazing. And Nikita I'm so so proud of you [heart emoji]. Special mention to the dancers, you guys smashed it! Best of the best." Former Strictly pro Karen Hauer wrote: "So proud of you [heart emoji]."
Return to Strictly
The tour's end comes as Kuzmin prepares to rejoin the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom for its 2026 series. He first joined the show in 2021 and recently completed his fifth year, reaching the final with actress and West End star Amber Davies.
