STRICTLY Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzman is said to be "dating an Australian sex podcaster who talks about their romps on the show".
The professional dancer, who rose to fame on the BBC One competition, has been keeping the relationship under wraps.
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.
