Janette Manrara warns Nikita Kuzmin on It Takes Two: ‘Don’t you dare!’

Nikita Kuzmin Issues Playful Challenge to Janette Manrara on Strictly Spin-off

Last night, on the popular Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two, host Janette Manrara found herself in a lighthearted confrontation with contestant Nikita Kuzmin, after he made a cheeky comment during their interview. This spirited exchange came on the heels of Nikita’s risqué performance with his celebrity partner Sam Quek, where he stunned audiences by revealing a corset and suspenders underneath his costume during their jive to “Time Warp” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The performance, which captivated viewers and secured them a spot safe from elimination, became a hot topic during their appearance on the show. As Janette kicked off the discussion about Nikita’s extravagant outfit reveal, he couldn’t resist teasing her, saying, “I know you loved it, Janette, I know you did love it!”

Without missing a beat, Janette shot back, “I am a married woman, don’t you dare!” with a playful tone, referring to her husband, fellow dancer Aljaz Skorjanec, who is also competing on the show this season. Nikita maintained his jest, laughing off the comment while Janette continued to praise the provocative outfit, which had generated a buzz across social media.

“There were so many comments! One said, ‘I actually squealed out loud when Nikita stripped off. Nikita in suspenders every week, please,'” she recounted enthusiastically. Nikita openly admitted that he enjoyed sporting the daring ensemble, underlining that it’s all about taking risks and entertaining the audience.

When pressed about their daring performance, Nikita explained, “The thing is, you can’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Strictly is all about having fun and entertaining the audience at home.” He described the reveal as a “little bit provocative,” emphasizing the need for playfulness and a willingness to push boundaries.

Sam chimed in with her own humorous remarks, mentioning she had requested “bigger pants” for the performance, while Nikita expressed his excitement about the outfit. Despite the cheeky banter, Janette attempted to keep the conversation on track, asserting, “Will you slow down!”

Looking ahead, the duo has their sights set on this Saturday’s Icons Week, where they plan to dance an American Smooth to Taylor Swift’s version of “Love Story.” Sam expressed her excitement on social media, declaring her love for Swift and thanking fans for their continued support.

As the competition intensifies, audiences eagerly anticipate what these dynamic performers will bring to the dance floor next.
