Strictly star Nikita Kuzmin hits back at show curse with six word statement

ok.co.uk:

Nikita Kuzmin has put any fears of the infamous Strictly Come Dancing curse to bed, revealing that his girlfriend, Lauren Jaine, is fully aware that for him, dancing is strictly business.The professional, who has been on the show since 2021, has seen first-hand how rumours can fly out of control amongst the contestants.

However, as he approaches two years with model Lauren, Nikita insists that his performances don't tango into their relationship as he tells us, "I think it can be difficult for anyone who isn't a dancer to understand, but she knows it's just a job.

We don't really think about it in a romantic way – it's just part of what we do. And if there was ever an issue, we'd talk about it and just sort it out." Admitting he has thought about the future and potentially marrying Lauren, it's clear Nikita is smitten as he gushed over her supportive nature. "I'm really lucky to have a supportive family and girlfriend.

I always call my mum on my way home, and when I get back, I have Lauren waiting for me. We make time for each other. Last night, after a 12-hour rehearsal, we watched Iron Man.
