Having been raised in Ukraine, Nikita Kuzmin moved from his home in Germany to the UK in 2021 to compete in Strictly Come Dancing and he has made his London flat a home.
He opts to keep his home life largely out of the spotlight, keeping his social media feed focused on his life in the training room with his Strictly celebrity partner for 2024 - Team GB hockey player Sam Quek.
However, the 26-year-old professional dancer has previously reflected on his upbringing in Kyiv and his grandmother escaping Ukraine amid the Russian conflict. He told The One Show: "It is exactly when it hits you home when you start to see the streets in which you have been walking which you grew up, where all your childhood was, right now being destroyed, bombed and it is honestly just heart-breaking."
