Nikita is said to be dating Charlie
Ukrainian-born Nikita, 24, who competed alongside Paralympian Ellie Simmonds on Strictly this year, split up from his long-term girlfriend Nicole Wirt in October.
Since then, he has been linked to a number of women – including his Strictly Come Dancing co-star Molly Rainford.
But it’s now been revealed that Nikita has been seeing controversial TikTok star Charlie Backshall, who runs her own podcast The Hotline.
The social media star is said to talk all about their romps, in graphic description, as part of her podcast episodes.
The latest episode, titled We’re Back and I’m Still In Love, details her new relationship – without naming Nikita.
The episode details X-rated sex acts she has performed with her new beau, which she says made her a “new woman”.
However, a source told the MailOnline: “Nikita is very aware of his brand and the fact that he stars on the most family friendly show on TV, so dating a sex podcaster conflicts hugely.
“‘He wanted to keep the relationship a secret until after the 2022 series had finished because he didn’t want it overshadowing his part in the show, where he danced with Paralympic star Ellie.
“But now Charlie is speaking openly about their relationship he knows it’ll soon come out. He really likes her and hopes their romance will work long distance.”
Charlie, who is based in Perth, Australia, has been hinting at spending lots of time with Nikita in recent weeks.
She took to her TikTok to reveal last month that her new love interest was a dancer, and she was spending time with him in London.
On TikTok, she posted a snap of herself with the caption: “November me: Sat in my boyfriend’s flat in London.”
She also posted a snap of her hugging Nikita’s cat, as well as a number of photos posted from around London.
In her podcast, Charlie revealed that the pair “slid into each other’s DMs” before she flew over to meet her new beau for the first time.
