Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin has opened up about the heartbreaking situation in his home country of Ukraine.
The BBC One Latin and ballroom competition is well underway, as Nikita and his celebrity dance partner Ellie Simmonds have been impressing the Strictly judges week on week with their routines. However, Nikita is experiencing his own personal heartbreak as his family have been displaced by the war happening in Ukraine.
As he appeared on Loose Women today, Nikita explained how he finds it hard to talk about, as he admits he speaks to his grandparents every day. He says he is "trying to keep his head clear" despite everything going on.
