Strictly fans 'in tears' after spotting 'small thing' others missed during Nikita Kuzmin dance

Strictly Come Dancing fans are often moved to tears when their favourite couple’s dance. However, one Strictly professional Nikita Kuzmin’s performances have made some viewers emotional for another reason altogether.

In Nikita’s first year on the show back in 2021, he was partnered with Tilly Ramsay, daughter of chef Gordon.The couple found themselves in the dance-off performance, where Nikita ended up dancing topless, having to take his shirt off when it got stuck on his microphone pack.

It was during that routine – which did end in the couple being voted off the show after ten weeks – that some fans noted that was wearing a blood glucose monitor on the back of his arm, a device used by diabetics to keep track of their blood sugar levels.

Diabetic viewers were heartened to see Nikita – who suffers from Type 1 diabetes – out and proud about his condition and his use of the price of life-changing technology, with some emotional responses from viewers.
