Nikita is currently competing in his third series of Strictly, having previously danced with Tilly Ramsay and Ellie Simmonds. This year, he is partnered with Layton Williams, and the pair are earning incredibly high scores just a few weeks in.
On the most recent show, they earned 37 for their Cha-cha-cha to Whitney Houston's 'Million Dollar Bill', which not only netted them the highest scoring dance of the series so far, but it's also the earliest in any series that a 10 has been handed out for a Cha-cha-cha.
Layton set another first in Movies Week, as he became the show's first male celebrity to dance in a dress as he performed as Grease character Rizzo to the song 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do'.

"I'm really proud that I did," he said on It Takes Two, "and this was beautiful, but I was like, 'Why are we doing a trouser moment with a little bit of a skirt attached to the back? If we're going to do it, we need to do it'. Go hard or go home.
"It represents so much more than us just, like, only dancing. So I was just really proud to do that. And I just love that it was kind of like, 'Yeah whatever, we're just keeping it moving'."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
