He issued a four-word message days after his latest Strictly Come Dancing stint officially came to an end
Nikita Kuzmin was quickly flooded with comments on social media as he issued a four-word message days after his latest Strictly Come Dancing stint officially came to an end.
The professional dancer, who was paired with hockey star Sam Quek during the BBC One dance contest's 2024 series, was always set to be on the Strictly Live tour 2025 as one of the ensemble dancers, but his role quickly changed as he was drafted into cover for co-star Vito Coppola.
With the Italian dancer suffering a back injury, Nikita stepped in to partner his celebrity dance partner Sarah Hadland as the show visited arenas up and down the country across three weeks.
Away from what's happened on stage, Nikita, who is set to head out on his own solo tour later this year, spent his down time keeping fans up to speed with what's been going on behind the scenes with regular posts on social media as she made sure to get plenty of pictures of himself and his co-stars.
The latest saw the group letting their hair down during a bowling night out amidst spending three nights performing in Nottingham. Alongside the photos, Nikita wrote on Instagram: "Strictly backstage BOWLING edition." But it's then when he added: "Probs the last backstage pics for this tour my loves [heart emoji]."
But, Nikita has since returned to Instagram with a video which featured clips of him performing to the thousands of fans who were filling the arenas, to pictures he'd captured of his co-stars during their time on the road. It was alongside the post that he wrote: "Miss you guys already [red heart emoji]."
Kai Widdrington was quick to respond to the post, writing: "Miss ya brother," while Tasha Ghouri posted a string of red heart emojis in the comments section. Nancy Xu also wrote: "Nikiiiiii," alongside a number of heart emojis.
Fans were also keen to comment. @hev552 said; "Was a fabulous tour, you and Sarah were amazing together." @miss.dvs commented: "I adore the bond you guys form always so special, Strictly szn will soon come round again!" @andreastreeterbeauty wrote: "We miss this too."
@emsstar45 replied: "I'm gonna miss the strictly 2024 cast a lot, yall were so amazing and talented!!" @xjodielouise1 posted: "The most special tour! can’t believe it’s over." @emma_gittinsx shared: "The best tour." @beyer_char added: "So incredible!"
