Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin has set pulses racing with his latest social media update.
The 23-year-old Ukrainian dancer gave his new followers a subtle glimpse of his rock-hard abs as he posed up a storm in a steamy mirror selfie – much to the delight of his adoring admirers.
Nikita – who is partnered up with Tilly Ramsay on the BBC One show – looked hotter than ever as he donned a black button-up shirt in the sleepy selfie.
Alongside the snap, Nikita expressed how tired he was ahead of the second live show this Saturday.
“Yesterday’s pic,” he wrote.
“When I was still looking like a decent person. Today is a different story. Early wake up after a late-night training,” the dancer added.
And it wasn’t long before Nikita’s followers flocked to gush over his gym-honed body and boy-band looks.
“You must be tired because you forgot to button your shirt. I’m not complaining at all though,” commented one cheeky fan.
“Oh, hello hot stuff. MORE half-naked pics please” someone else fawned.
A third penned: “Ridiculously hot. In fact, the hottest person to ever grace Strictly.”
“Nikita!!! Stop teasing us. I can’t take it,” a fourth follower swooned.
Meanwhile a fifth quipped: “I’d love to be that shirt on your back for just a day. Tilly is a lucky lady to get to spend so much time with you.”
Nikita’s steamy selfie comes after his celebrity dance partner Tilly, 19, revealed that she’s completely exhausted after many late-night training sessions with her hunky pro dancer.
In a bid to make a lasting impression on the judges this weekend, Tilly and Nikita have been practicing endlessly to nab those all-important scores – but it’s taken a toll on Gordon Ramsay’s daughter.
Lifting the lid on their strict rehearsal routine, Tilly shared an insight with fans by sharing a behind-the-scenes snap with her Instagram followers.
In a recent post, Tilly posed alongside Nikita as she poked fun at him for tiring her out.
“Nikita, you have officially tired me out,” she penned.
Telling that she was looking forward to getting some shut-eye, Tilly added: "Bedtime for me."
Tilly is Strictly’s first student contestant and is working towards a psychology degree.
The dedicated teen is making sure she doesn’t fall behind her university coursework while practicing her fancy footwork in a bid to win the 2021 series of Strictly by working whenever she can.
