Nikita Kuzmin is one of the stars rumoured for Celebrity Big Brother this year so, naturally, we all want to everything about him…

The Strictly Come Dancing professional – who joined the BBC dance show three years ago – is already a hot favourite to triumph in the CBB house, with the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Colson Smith, Gary Goldsmith, and Louis Walsh also rumoured to be taking part.

While Strictly fans will be cheering him on all the way, Nikita will also have support from someone special – his girlfriend.

The Ukrainian star, 26 – who was partnered with Layton Williams last series on Strictly, reaching the final – is dating a model named Lauren Jaine.

Lauren is a model signed with the agency First London.

They also represent plenty of famous faces, including Selling Sunset’s Davina Potratz.

She boasts over 7,000 followers on Instagram, where she regularly posts stunning outfit snaps and offers fans an insight into her travels.

Nikita and Lauren confirmed their romance in October last year and she was often seen in the audience at the Strictly live shows.

Confirmation that they were an item followed months of speculation after they were spotted at various events together, such as The Tina Turner Musical Gala.

But the super chilled couple decided to hard launch their romance in the most casual way, with a sweet photo dump on Instagram.

At the time, it was clear Lauren had the approval of Nikita’s pals.

A source told The Sun: ‘Nikita and Lauren have been dating for months and seem to have an amazing connection.

‘The pair have tried to keep their romance under the radar but they have been attending events together and are really enjoying each other’s company.

‘They have been spending a lot of time together and even went on holiday together in the summer.

‘Things are progressing and Nikita is very happy with his new romance.

‘Lauren joined Nikita and his parents at Saturday’s live show and he was chuffed to have her in the crowds supporting him.

‘His Strictly co-stars also think they are a great match and are rooting for the pair.’

Since then, they have packed on the PDA for their online followers and have become no strangers to a gushy post.

In December, Nikita and Lauren jetted off to Rome where he celebrated his birthday in style.

‘Birthday with the loved ones’, Nikita noted in a social media caption as he shared snaps from the getaway.

Nikita and Lauren have also travelled to Dubai together, making us all green with envy as we virtually third-wheeled throughout their sunny break.

Their romance came after the dancer called time on his five-year relationship with Nicole Wirt in 2022 and was previously linked to Molly Rainford.

‘Nikita wanted to totally focus on this series of Strictly and decided a while back he wanted to end his relationship with Nicole,’ a source told The Sun at the time.

The source added: ‘Nikita only wants the best for Nicole and she feels the same about him.’

Celebrity Big Brother launches tonight on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm.
