Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin has shared a glimpse inside his extravagant Christmas getaway with girlfriend Lauren Jaine.
The professional dancer, 25, jetted off to Dubai shortly after reaching the BBC ballroom show’s finals, with Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola eventually crowned champions.
Nikita shared a series of envy-inducing pictures of his holiday on Instagram, including him making peace signs while enjoying a dip in the sea and sunbathing on the beach.
In another, he looks loved-up cuddling up to Lauren, while he also posted a picture of himself beaming with the Dubai skyline in the background and one of Lauren in black and white in front of an impressive fountain.
Nikita captioned the post: ‘Last couple of days in Dubai☀️.’
His holiday pictures went down a storm with his 252K followers and Strictly co-stars, with Layton sweetly remarking: ‘Well deserved me thinks 🫶🏾.’

Adam Thomas, who became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly 2023, commented: ‘Beautiful xxxx.’
Fellow pro, meanwhile, Lauren Oakley remarked in reference to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s Titanic characters: ‘Jack & Rose ❤️.’
Nikita confirmed his relationship with Lauren in October on Instagram, sharing a sweet photo dump that included them goofing around while doing a food shop.

His romance with Lauren comes after he called time on his five-year relationship with Nicole Wirt last year and was previously linked to Molly Rainford.
While Nikita and Layton didn’t lift the Glitterball Trophy on Strictly 2023, they earned legions of fans and also scored the first perfect score of 40 in the series.

They had also been in the lead on the judges’ scoreboard with a total of 119 points in the final, but the winners, Ellie and Vito, were ultimately picked by the public.
