Nikita Kuzmin is "just trying to do his best" to manage his diabetes.
Nikita Kuzmin was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child
The 26-year-old star is best known as a professional on 'Strictly Come Dancing' but was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes - a chronic condition in which the body struggles to produce enough insulin - as a child and is often aided with a white patch on his arm but finds it so rewarding when he connects with fans who suffer from the same thing.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', he said: "It's not easy. Obviously, it's a condition that you carry with yourself every single day. But I always say that diabetes is our superpower. When we're kids, to understand how to be scheduled, how to be responsible. One of the best things in the world is when I go through the stage door after the show, I see all the teenagers and adults coming with me.
"They show me their sensor and we tap them together. It's our superpower and I know it might be quite hard. I'm also learning every single day. Realistically, I'm just trying to do my best. Obviously, we have the technology today but it's the literally trying to make the best of it every single day and just see how it goes."
Meanwhile, the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star is gearing up to head out on the road for his 'Midnight Dancer' tour across the UK in 2025 and admitted it is "scary" to be going solo and often struggles to understand why he has landed his own show in the first place.
He added: "It's quite scary if I'm being honest, but it's very wild because I can never actually gather the fact that I could have my own show because I always ask why would people even come to see me?
"I have so many ideas, so many projects and I just wanna go there and give back to the people who spend their money coming to see me."
