Strictly’s Tilly Ramsay gushes over Nikita Kuzmin after he buys her ‘best birthday present’

Strictly Come Dancing star Tilly Ramsay took to Instagram on Saturday to gush over her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin.

The daughter of Gordon Ramsay celebrated her 20th birthday earlier this week and it seems Nikita was keen to treat her.

Posting a picture on her Instagram Story, Tilly held up a pair of blue and white Nike trainers as Nikita pouted in the background.

She wrote alongside the snap: "@nikita_kuzmin best birthday present thank yoouuuuu," followed by two red heart emojis.

It comes after Tilly shared two photos of her and Nikita looking very comfortable with one another as they enjoyed dinner this week.

Student Tilly looks stunning in a black glitzy dress as she cosies up to her dance partner and even pulls a sexy pout while Nikita puts his arm around her.

Tilly captioned the post: "It’s back to all smiles this week for our quickstep!! I’ve been loving this dance and can’t wait for you all to see it on Saturday."

Unfortunately the duo found themselves in the dreaded dance off last weekend alongside Adam Peaty and Katya Jones.

Adam and Katya re-performed their Jive to Little Bitty Pretty One by Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers, whilst Tilly and Nikita danced the Tango to Kings & Queens by Ava Max.

It was then up to the four judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton du Beke and Shirley Ballas - to decide who they wanted to put through to the next round, with it almost being a unanimous decision.

Craig gave his verdict first, insisting if it was up to him then neither of these two would be in the bottom two.

"I wouldn’t have put these couples in the bottom. That’s just me personally, but seeing they are there and I’ve got to choose, I’m finding it really difficult tonight and this isn’t like me," he said before saving Tilly and Nikita.

Motsi called it a " tough competition" but decided to keep the TV presenter as she felt Tilly was "more sound to the music".

Fellow judge Anton called the dance off a "great one", and said it was a tough decision.

He added: "I found it so equal I was desperate for something to happen to make me choose and there was a moment in one of the dances that made me decide and that was Tilly and Nikita."

There was no need for Shirley to give her verdict as the other three had gone with Tilly, but the head judge admitted she would have chosen to save Adam and Katya if she had had the chance.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6:40pm on BBC One.
