Nikita Kuzmin has become a household name thanks to his impressive performances on Strictly Come Dancing, where his energy, talent and charm won over millions of viewers. Now, the 26-year-old Ukrainian-Italian dancer is winning hearts all over again as a finalist on Celebrity Big Brother.
His time in the Big Brother house has showcased not just his charisma, but also his warmth and sincerity. A particularly touching moment came when his girlfriend, Lauren, paid him a surprise visit — a scene that brought both housemates and viewers to tears.
She wrapped Nikita in a loving embrace and said with a smile: “I’ve missed you so much. You’re doing so well, we’re all so proud of you. I’ve been talking to your parents every day. Everything is fine, and they’ve taken all the lemons off the trees to make Limoncello for you when you come home.”
In a playful twist, she added: “The cats have settled in so well, I think they prefer me to you now. You’ll have to sleep in another room because they’re in my bed. I miss you so much. I love you.”
A Private Love Story in the Spotlight
While Nikita and Lauren have kept their relationship fairly low-key, fans began to speculate about their romance last summer. The first hints appeared in August, when they were seen enjoying a romantic trip to Croatia. A few months later, in October, Nikita shared a photo of Lauren on his Instagram, softly confirming their relationship.
Lauren may stay out of the public spotlight, but her heartfelt visit offered a glimpse into the close, loving partnership the two share.
Dancing His Way to the Top
From the ballroom to reality TV, Nikita’s star continues to rise. Since joining Strictly Come Dancing, he has become one of the most popular professionals on the show, admired for both his technical skill and down-to-earth nature.
His presence on Celebrity Big Brother has further cemented his status as a fan favourite, thanks to his sincerity, good humour and respectful attitude toward fellow housemates.
Growing Popularity and Bright Prospects
Nikita’s growing fame has led to a number of exciting opportunities beyond the dancefloor. With a loyal fanbase, a flourishing television career, and a relationship that’s clearly full of joy and support, he seems to have found the perfect rhythm both professionally and personally.
As the Celebrity Big Brother final approaches, audiences continue to cheer for Nikita — not just for his performances, but for the kindness, love and positivity he brings into everything he does.
