Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin has discussed his grandmother's escape from Ukraine which saw her having to walk miles for the first time since undergoing an operation.
The professional dancer starred in the 2021 series of the BBC dance contest with Tilly Ramsay. He has now spoken openly about the plight of his family and those in his home country of Ukraine since Russia's invasion began last month.
Nikita, 24, was born in Ukraine before he and his family moved to Italy when he was nine years old. But earlier this month he spoke of his fear for his grandmother, who remained in the country weeks into the invasion.
