Nikita Kuzmin has told fans his 'dream has come true' as he shared an emotional statement amid performing across the country in his own headline tour.
The Strictly Come Dancing star is no stranger to performing up and down the country, often alongside his friends and colleagues from the BBC One dance contest.
But the professional dancer has recentyl been going it alone in his first-ever solo tour, Midnight Dancer. Ahead of the shows, Nikita told how he couldn't believe he had the opportunity to perform his own show.
He previously said: "The show is more of a musical because I've seen every 'Strictly' and non-'Strictly' shows, and one thing I didn't want to do is just build a show with lots of dancing and no context.
"It's a love story with betrayal, pain and hope - it's a very dramatic show. As scared as I am, I'm loving this scary feeling because I know that on the night, I will deliver the best thing people have ever seen."
And weeks on from the start of the tour, Nikita shared a moving update on social media. He took to Instagram and shared a picture of him on stage with the crowd behind him.
Alongside the post, he typed: "Thank you so much for making my dream come true [heart emoji]. I could write a million words, but those happy faces say everything that there is to say [heart emoji]. We’re half way through and I still can’t believe it xx."
His Strictly co-stars were quick to show their support as Jowita Przystal, Nancy Xu and Amy Dowden all posted a number of heart emojis in the comments section while Gorka Marquez said: "Proud of you @nikita__kuzmin."
Fans were also sending love to the dancer.
