CBB’s Nikita slapped with strict warning by stunning girlfriend before show – as he reveals chances of Ekin-Su romance
CELEBRITY Big Brother star Nikita Kuzmin was hit with a strict warning from his model girlfriend before entering the house.
The Strictly star, who is in a relationship with Lauren Jaine, has managed to avoid controversy so far.
But all eyes were suddenly on him last night after Ekin-Su surprised everyone by admitting he'd turned her head.
The Love Island star did note that Nikita is a taken man and, so far, Nikita has been nothing but respectful to his other half.
Prior to entering the house, he told us what Lauren's parting words to him were.
"She just said behave! Yeah, she just said the same thing," he explained. "She just said have fun. Obviously I'll miss her. I'll miss my girlfriend, I'll miss my family. I'll miss my cats, I'll miss my friends.

"But yeah, I think that's the reality of the job at the same time. And sometimes you are apart. It's not the nicest of the things. We have a beautiful relationship so I'll definitely miss her."
When pushed if he'd entertain any romance in the house, he said: "Nah, no, no, no. People want romances and drama all the time. But we are not doing any of that. I have a beautiful relationship and there is no reason for me to be interested or anything else in anyone."
In his three years on Strictly, Nikita has established himself as one of the good guys who's rarely seen without a big smile on his face.
So it's little surprise that he'll do his best to avoid conflict in the CBB house.
He said: "Obviously there are egos and personalities and probably there is a lot of those in the house. But I feel quite calm about it. I don't know why. I feel like Strictly prepared me for that, it's kind of my daily job to solve conflict in a certain way.
"We are trying to solve conflict between partners, between people. We’re trying to manage groups when we do the group numbers, we're trying to manage every single thing, my job is usually taking care of everyone.
"So yeah, I feel quite calm. I'm really curious again, who is gonna be bouncing off whose energy and who won’t be, we’ll see."
Nikita hasn't been at the forefront of the action so far with bigger personalities like Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Ekin-Su dominating.
However, the further he gets into the programme the more viewers will learn about him.
He said: "I think you will see a bit more of what actually I am like without all of the sparkle and glitz, you know what I mean?
"Like a bit more of a normal and weird version of me rather than the set version which we obviously only have one and a half minutes on the show for people to see us.
"Even when they film us in rehearsals, that only makes a couple of minutes, so no one really knows what I am like as a person. The other professionals know me a certain way, from a certain standing point. So I hope now everyone else can see that side of me too."
Earlier this week Layton Williams, 29, who was paired with Nikita on Strictly last year, slammed Ekin on Late & Live last for flirting with Nikita.
He said: "That was really awkward to see.
"By the way just because someone's got a partner, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily interested in you anyway.
"I don't really like that kind of angle. No shade... Full shade.

"But then to go into the bedroom while he's changing, I'm just like, 'Girl, give the boy some privacy'.
"To be giving him compliments, I'm like 'read the room', and Nikita was just like, 'thank you so much, peace'."
