Nikita Kuzmin: Last News

Katya Jones has dismissed the claims that there’s tension between her and her fellow Strictly Come Dancing dancers.The allegations first surfaced in the wake of Russia – Katya’s home country – invading Ukraine, which the dancer isn't thought to have addressed until today, Thursday 31 March. With this in mind, some people have questioned if Russian dancers like Katya, 32, and Luba Mushtuk, also 32, should be allowed to take part in the popular BBC show, while others have claimed it caused “tension” between Katya and the rest of the dancers; particularly between Katya, Luba and Ukrainian-born dancers Nikita Kuzmin, 24, and Nadiya Bychkova, 32.
