Following their Halloween-week performance, Nikita had a moment of celebrating while speaking to Claudia Winkleman, but has now admitted he needs to “calm down”.

After watching the clip back, which saw him dance around the Clauditorium as the other stars looked on amused, Nikita told It Takes Two host Janette Manrara that not being in the dreaded dance-off and making it to week seven was “the happiest I’ve ever been”.

Janette replied: “Well actually, you both had very different reactions in the Clauditorium because Amber was wiping away tears of gratitude, and Nikita, you were doing this.”

The clip saw Nikita mount the table in a moment of pure joy, with Janette narrating: “Claudia looked stunned, Amber looked away.”

Nikita explained: “The problem is, Claudia said, ‘Feel free to use the table’, so even I don’t know, but if you tell me, Feel free, I don’t know where I’m going to go, things just happen. I need to calm down.”

Amber meanwhile told him: “Never change.”

This comes after Amber expressed her gratitude for making it through another week of Strictly.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Still can’t believe WE have made it half way through the @bbcstrictly competition really… 6 weeks ago I had no idea how the end of year was going to look for me & with just 1 phone call and 48 hours later I was waltzing on live tv with @nikita__kuzmin that’s definitely one of those stories I’ll be bringing up around a dinner table in 40 years time.
