Strictly: Nikita Kuzmin makes Shakira blunder
Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin could face being eliminated besides his dance partner Sam Quek, a former professional. Ola Jordan shared her concerns about the duo following their recent Strictly performance.
Ola shared with Mecca Bingo: "[On who will leave the contest next] It depends on the dances, but I think Pete, Shayne, Wynne, and Sam. I think Pete has got the public behind him; I think he's quite popular."
"Sam could be at risk if she doesn't pull it off; she’s got to be careful because she will end up in the bottom two.
"I think those four are in the danger zone," she finished.
Strictly Come Dancing viewers were thrilled after Sam stayed in the competition. The Merseyside native has wowed fans with her incredible performances alongside Nikita in the BBC contest.

The two closed Saturday's episode in style with a brilliant Jive to Time Warp to celebrate Halloween Week. Sam and Nikita were flooded with praise after the show and were voted through to the next round.
Motsi said the performance was the "cherry on the cake" of a fantastic show. The duo received 31 points, Sam's best score in the competition.
Viewers watching at home wasted no time rushing to social media to share their reaction to the star's transformation.
One viewer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said: “I’m sorry, but seeing Nikita in black suspenders is, well, rather special #Strictly #RockyHorror.”

It comes as Nikita has recently been seen sporting a white patch on his arm on Strictly Come Dancing, which helps him monitor a serious health condition.
Nikita has previously shared that he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 13. He's since become a fan-favourite on the BBC show and is currently impressing viewers whilst paired up with Olympian Sam Quek.
The 26-year-old, who joined Strictly in 2021, doesn't hesitate to use his platform to raise awareness about his condition. He's shared that he faces daily challenges due to diabetes and once revealed that he was rushed to hospital as a teenager by his parents after he fell seriously ill one night, as reported by Birmingham Live.
Nikita, who is often seen wearing a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor, which monitors his glucose levels, recounted the experience to the Sun earlier this year. He said: "It was quite traumatic because I was diagnosed in the middle of the night." Nikita shared that it happened at around 2am and he had "extremely" high blood sugar levels.

He continued: "They were spiking, and I had been feeling very ill for about a week." Nikita expressed his gratitude towards both of his parents for their response, saying that they had suspected it "might be diabetes".
Unlike Type 2 diabetes, Type 1 diabetes is not associated with age or lifestyle factors. The conditions lead to elevated blood glucose levels and, as of now, remains incurable.
Nikita said: "Even now, it's still a daily battle." He, however, described it as his "biggest superpower" and went on to say that there's "always a way to make things better," crediting his Dexcom G7 sensor for helping him manage the condition "much easier".
