Nikita Kuzmin is set to take over the Theatre Royal in Brighton for one night next year with his Midnight Dancer show, which featured in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother. This will be his first solo tour. Kuzmin, who recently partnered with actor Layton Williams on Strictly and finished as a runner-up, is a 26-year-old dancer born in Ukraine. He lived in Ukraine for nine years before moving to Italy, where he became a six-time Italian Latin and Ballroom dance champion, and then moved to Germany at 18.
Joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, Kuzmin has partnered with West End star Layton Williams, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds, and Gordon Ramsey’s daughter, Tilly Ramsey. He also participated in the 2024 series of Celebrity Big Brother, where he secured second place.
Diagnosed with Type One diabetes at 13, Kuzmin is a passionate advocate, encouraging those affected to live without restrictions and raising awareness about the condition. His Midnight Dancer tour will visit the Theatre Royal in Brighton on April 29, 2025, with tickets currently available for purchase.
