BBC Strictly pro Nikita splits with girlfriend of five years to 'focus' on show with Ellie Simmonds

Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin has reportedly broken up with his girlfriend of five years, Nicole Wirt.

The pair, who are both professional dancers, reportedly came to this conclusion mutually as they are both so busy with work, and Nicole is mainly based in Germany. This comes after Nikita, 24, and his Paralympian partner Ellie Simmonds received high praises from judges for their "magical" waltz, reports the Mirror.

A source told The Sun: “Nikita wanted to totally focus on this series of Strictly and decided a while back he wanted to end his relationship with Nicole. They had been together for five years and it ended up being a mutual decision. Nicole is mainly based in Germany and she is getting busier with work."
