Known for his time on Strictly Come Dancing and a stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Nikita has become a well known name.

With his dance partner, Layton Williams, Nikita clinched second place during the most recent series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair later redeemed their runner-up status on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour in February 2024, being celebrated as glitter ball winners.

A run in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year resulted in a second-place finish for Nikita.

Born in Ukraine, Nikita relocated to Italy at age nine due to his sister's dancing career.

The nine years Nikita spent in Italy allowed him to hone his skills and become a six-time Italian Champion in Latin and Ballroom dance.

After moving to Germany at age 18, he joined the dance studio of fellow Strictly alumni Motsi Mabuse and went on to feature as a professional dancer on Germany’s version of Strictly Come Dancing in 2020.

Following a diagnosis of Type One diabetes at 13, Nikita has used his public platform to inspire others with the condition and raise wider awareness.

Tickets for Nikita's show at The Anvil are available at various prices online at anvilarts.org.uk/events/nikita-kuzmin.
