Strictly is the only reason why I could do big Brother in the first place.

Why Nikita Kuzmin did Celebrity Big Brother
Nikita also detailed why he decided to embark on the reality TV programme, explaining: “I just wanted to challenge myself really. I just wanted to experience something I’ve never done.
“Before, you know, you put yourself out there you never know what’s going to happen.
“I just wanted really to experience the Big Brother house, I watched it when I was a kid. I never thought I was going to be there.
“Just being there was just such a surreal experience. Sometimes you had to pinch yourself and say ‘oh my gosh’, you’re in this house.”
