Tilly Ramsay looks amazing as she poses with Strictly Come Dancing partner Nikita Kumzin

Tilly Ramsay was flooded with compliments as she posed with her Strictly Come Dancing partner.

The CBBC and social media star danced up a storm on the hit BBC One show with Nikita Kumzin last year.

Tilly and her professional partner exited the 2021 series just before the quarter-final in November following their third time in the bottom two.

The 20-year-old, who started university at the same time as joining Strictly, is still dancing as part of the show's 2022 live tour.

Tilly and Nikita are out on the road with several other Strictly stars - including 2021 winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, finalists John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, and 2020 alumni Max George and Maisie Smith.

The group has so far visited Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle as the tour heads to arenas across the country.

And before arriving in Manchester tonight (January 29), Tilly took to Instagram with some backstage snaps alongside Nikita.

"Backstage boops," she shared alongside the trio of cute photos to her 1.2m followers.

The pair could be seen ready for one of the tour's group numbers, which appears to be the Irish jig that was performed during the last series.

Nikita was wearing an open, white shirt with brown braces and grey trousers while Tilly wore a beige ruched top, pinching in to show off her petite waist, and a long blue skirt.

Tilly also looked glam thanks to her long blonde hair extensions and bronzed glow.

And fans were quickly complimenting Tilly.

"Damn Tilly, you look amazing!!" @ samayaheathers said.

@lucy0lou commented: "Tilly you're just so beautiful."

"@tillyramsay looks stunning!" @ charlottealice86 wrote.

"Ohhh my word @tillyramsay you look fantastic!!" @ shellie.flame shared.

@bethan_mae__ added: "You are looking so stunning and happy."

And there were plenty of couple comments too.

@the_frankie_bear said: "The power couple! You both rock!!"

"Look at you both!!" @softheartedsugg wrote.

@star6sleeper commented: "You two are just the cutest!"

"Perfect duo!!!" @urfavblondegirlxo added.

Nikita had to join the tour late after he tested positive for coronavirus just before the first show.

The dancer was stuck in isolation in his hotel room while the rest of the Strictly cast performed a string of shows in Birmingham.

But as Tilly danced with Neil Jones, Nikita made the most of his by fundraising for Diabetes UK.
