STRICTLY fans are convinced that they’ve “worked out” who BBC radio star Nikita Kanda has been partnered with – and it has a great ring to it.
Just last week the Asian Network’s Breakfast Show host, 28, revealed that she will be waltzing onto the dance-floor later in the year and it has already got fans speculating who she will be paired with.
Strictly megafans have shared their predictions on social media, saying they are desperate for Nikita to be paired with professional ballroom dancer Nikita Kuzmin, 25.
Fans said BBC bosses would be missing a trick if they don’t pair the two Nikita’s together.
One superfan shared: “Nikita and Nikita would be a good shout….. next up, the Nikitas!”
Another posted: “I’d be shocked if the producers passed on the opportunity for Nikita and Nikita to be paired. Especially after last year when we had Kaye and Kai!”
A third added: “Nikita and Nikita would make a brilliant pairing.”
The popular presenter will be joining 14 other celebrities on the BBC One show.
Speaking on her radio show today, Nikita said: “I’ve got butterflies in my stomach right now. I’m literally like a kid at Christmas. It feels like Christmas Day. This moment is like a dream come true.”
The bubbly radio star took over the Breakfast Show in January, two years after joining the Asian Network.
Speaking at the time, she said: ”It’s the only job that I have ever jumped out of bed at 4am for because I love radio. Every day is different – you never know what you’re going to get.
“Over the last few months, the listeners have become my best friends. I don’t know what I would do without them as they provide the endless daily laughs and banter and are the main focus of the show.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in to more ‘Kanda Chaos’ as my producers like to call it. Just make sure to join in for this crazy ride, I promise you it will be a lot of FUN!”
The addition of Nikita into the Strictly fold follows former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas and Love Island’s Zara McDermott.
She also joins actress Amanda Abbington, Bad Education star Layton Williams, Strictly’s oldest-ever star Angela Rippon, journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy, comedian Eddie Kadi and Irish TV presenter Angela Scanlon.
