Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin previously revealed he battles a health condition that has a “big impact on his job”.
Many Strictly viewers will have noticed that Nikita wears a blood sugar monitor – a Libre Sensor – on his arm.
Doctors diagnosed Nikita with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 13, which he admitted has a big impact on his job.
Nikita Kuzmin on daily battle with health condition
Speaking on BBC News in April, Nikita – who is dancing with Layton Williams on the 2023 series of Strictly – opened up to hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay about his health condition.
He said: “It does have a lot of impact on my job during rehearsals. I am monitoring it all the day. Thanks to my monitor and my Apple watch, I am seeing how my sugar levels go up and down. I do need to eat snacks, and manage it 100 per cent of the time. But I’m very lucky that the Strictly crew always support me.”
