Strictly Come Dancing favourite Nikita Kuzmin has opened up about his future on the hit BBC show in an emotional revelation that has fans talking. The professional dancer, who recently confirmed his romance with girlfriend Lauren Jaine, shared his thoughts about continuing his journey on the popular dance competition.
In a heartfelt interview, Nikita expressed his deep affection for the Strictly family, stating that leaving the show isn't something he's considering despite the significant changes in his personal life. "It's a part of me now," the dancer revealed, emphasising how integral the programme has become to his identity.
A Dance Partnership That Captured Hearts
The Ukrainian-born performer recently made headlines with his successful partnership with Layton Williams, taking the theatre star all the way to the grand finale in what many critics called one of the most technically brilliant pairings in Strictly history. Their dynamic performances earned them a dedicated following and widespread praise from the judges.
Nikita's journey on Strictly has been remarkable since he joined the professional lineup in 2021. In his debut season, he reached the final with former Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite, making him one of the few professionals to achieve back-to-back finals in recent years.
Love Beyond the Dance Floor
The dancer's personal life has also been in the spotlight after he went public with his relationship with Lauren Jaine earlier this year. The couple made their red carpet debut at the TV BAFTAs, confirming rumours that had been circulating among Strictly fans.
Despite the blossoming romance and new commitments outside the show, Nikita remains committed to his Strictly family. "The thought of walking away hasn't crossed my mind," he assured fans, adding that the show continues to bring him joy and professional fulfilment.
What's Next for the Strictly Star?
As preparations begin for the next season of Strictly Come Dancing, Nikita's confirmation that he'll be returning to the dance floor comes as welcome news to his growing fanbase. His dedication to the art of dance and his popularity with viewers make him one of the show's most valuable assets.
The upcoming season promises more spectacular routines, emotional moments, and of course, the famous Strictly sparkle that has made the programme a Saturday night institution for British television audiences.
