Strictly fans all making the same joke about Nikita Kuzmin’s appearance on BBC 2’s It Takes Two

He'll catch a chill – or a telling off from Gordon!

Strictly pro Nikita Kuzmin appeared on BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two last night (November 9), and his appearance got viewers in a flap.

Nikita and celebrity partner Tilly Ramsay appeared on the show to chat to host Rylan Clark-Neal.

However, despite the pair discussing their poor results last week, which saw them end up in the bottom two, the scores were the last thing on viewers’ minds.

Strictly pro Nikita gets fans in a flap

Nikita’s appearance on the show caused a bit of a stir last night.

The pro dancer and Strictly partner Tilly wore matching black outfits, with Tilly looking gorgeous in sequins.

Nikita, meanwhile, wore a black shirt, unbuttoned pretty much to the naval – something that’s quickly become his trademark.

And it’s this that caught the eye of some viewers.

‘The boy’s going to catch a cold!’

One said Nikita has a “button allergy” – and joked about their fears for the pro’s health.

“Nikita‘s button allergy continues,” they said. “The boy’s going to catch a cold!”

Another said they were looking forward to the couple’s quickstep this weekend… As long as Nikita is fit enough to perform it!

“I really think Tilly could nail a quickstep, so long as Nikita hasn’t caught a chill in the meantime,” they joked.

It Takes Two caption writers also got in on the act, writing that Nikita “likes to get his chess-t out’, in a nod to their routine on last weekend’s show.

Of course, it’s not the first time Nikita’s shirt buttons have caused a stir.

Previously on It Takes Two he was seen unbuttoning a couple of buttons, much to the delight of his fans.

Gordon Ramsay tells Strictly pro Nikita to button up

And, early on in the series, when Tilly and Nikita were paired up, her dad Gordon Ramsay video called the couple to instruct Nikita to cover up.

Gordon commented: “Nikita, can you do me a favour? Can you do your shirt up?”

Now, almost eight weeks on, it appears Nikita hasn’t heeded the advice.

And, with temperatures falling, perhaps he should invest in some Lemsips… or a vest!
