To mark his big day, the dancer's older sister, Anastasia, shared some sweet photos of the pair together, and she even included several ones from their childhood together. One sweet photo saw the duo looking very regal as they donned fancy dress, with Nikita pulling a face, seemingly unimpressed with his sister who was dressed as a princess.

Nikita is known for his iconic hair, but sadly it wasn't possible to see if he had this as a child, as his mop was covered by headgear in both the childhood snaps.
More recent photos showed off how close the brother and sister were as they enjoyed a meal together in a café and even had a relaxing evening with one another wearing cleansing masks.

Following their elimination, Nikita penned: "Our Strictly journey came to an end. Earlier than we wanted, but boy I've loved every single moment with you.
"You're the most beautiful, pure, sincere, genuine, loving human. I may have taught you dancing but you taught me so much about compassion, sincerity, love and so much about life. Keep doing incredible things the way you do."
