A Strictly Come Dancing professional will perform in Swindon as part of his first UK solo tour.

Nikita Kuzmin, who has also taken part in Celebrity Big Brother, is set to perform at Wyvern Theatre on April 23 next year as part of his Midnight Dancer tour.

The tour will begin in Bromley, London, on March 8 and finish in Canterbury on May 24.

A six-time Italian champion in Latin and Ballroom dance, Mr Kuzmin will be joined by a cast of dancers and vocalists for his show filled with popular hits.

He was crowned glitter ball winner with his dance partner, Layton Williams, in the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour in February after the pair finished as runners-up on the TV show.

Born in Ukraine, he moved to Italy with his family at the age of nine to support his sister’s dance career.

After nine years in Italy, he relocated to Germany, where he started working at fellow Strictly alumni Motsi Mabuse’s dance studio.

Since being diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of 13, Mr Kuzmin has become an active campaigner, working to raise a wider awareness around the condition.
