From Ukraine to Italy to Elstree, say hello to the brilliant Nikita!
This fab-u-lous performer started dancing at the age of four, although he actually wanted to practice karate like his hero Jackie Chan, but the call of the Ballroom had other plans...
Nikita and his family moved from Ukraine to Italy when he turned nine, to support his sister's dancing career, but it was also the start of his own success. Here he became a six-time Italian Champion in Latin and Ballroom, and later joined the German version of Strictly called Let's Dance as a professional dancer.
He then joined our Pro line-up in 2021, partnering with TV and social media star Tilly Ramsay for his debut year, and is hitting the dance floor with Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds in 2022!
He's now partnered with actor and singer Layton Williams for 2023!
