A Strictly Come Dancing star is set to bring his solo show to Brighton as part of his UK tour.

Nikita Kuzmin will take over the Theatre Royal in Brighton for one night next year.

His Midnight Dancer show starred in the most recent series of Celebrity Big Brother. It will be the first solo tour for the dancer, who partnered with actor Layton Williams in the last series of Strictly and came runner-up in the show.

Nikita, 26, was born in Ukraine and lived in the country for nine years before moving to Italy.

He then became a six-time Italian Latin and Ballroom dance champion before moving to Germany aged 18.

The dancer joined Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 and has been partnered with West End star Layton Williams, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds and Gordon Ramsey’s daughter, Tilly Ramsey.

He also took part in the 2024 series of Celebrity Big Brother, coming second.

Since his diagnosis with Type One diabetes at 13, Nikita has also become a passionate and active campaigner, inspiring those affected to not let it restrict them and raising a wider awareness around the condition.

Nikita’s Midnight Dancer tour will come to the Theatre Royal in Brighton on April 29, 2025, with tickets currently on sale.
