Strictly Come Dancing's Nikita Kuzmin kept his cards close to his chest when asked about his journey into dance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch.

The show, hosted by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer, returned for another three-hour episode filled with recipes, celebrity interviews, and music.

Among the guests was Strictly's professional dancer Nikita, who discussed his current solo tour.

However, when host Tim delved into Nikita's early life and how he developed a passion for dance, the 27 year old remained somewhat guarded.

Nikita shared that he moved to Italy with his parents and sister when he was nine but chose not to reveal all when asked about the reasons behind this significant change.

The Strictly star explained: "I think there were two reasons, mainly.

"Number one, my family really wanted a better life for me and my sister. I'm not going to go too deep into that but let's just say a better life.

"And the other thing, of course, was for dancing. I mean, I moved to Italy and then when I was 13, I moved by myself to Denmark and then I moved back to Italy and then to Germany and then I'm now here and it's always been to do with dancing."
