Strictly Come Dancing’s 2026 launch proved to be a happy reunion for professional Nikita Kuzmin and contestant Dani Dyer, when the pair were matched up again after their time on the show came to an abrupt end last year. While many fans were overjoyed for them, not all of them were happy with the pairing.
The coupling has sparked debate among viewers online, with some suggesting that Kuzmin and Dyer may now have an advantage over the rest of the competition after dancing together last year.
