Strictly’s Molly Rainford and pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin put on a flirty display at the NTAs

Strictly professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin and celebrity contestant Molly Rainford put on a flirty display at the National Television Awards this week. 

Nikita, 24, who split from his girlfriend of five-years fellow dancer Nicole Wirt, was spotted getting cosy with the actress, 21, after MailOnline exclusively revealed that they are dating. 

Molly looked sensational in a floor-length gown with a leg split, as she looked lovingly into Nikita’s eyes. 

She wore her blonde locks in a straight style with one side clipped up and secured with a pearl encrusted grip.  

The dance pro looked suave in a black suit with a white shirt and patent shoes as he chatted to Molly. 

MailOnline revealed that the pair couldn’t keep their eyes off each other as they flirted together until the early hours after the awards ceremony.

Their blossoming romance comes a week after it was revealed that Nikita, who’s partnered with Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds, had split from his girlfriend, Nicole Wirt.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Molly and Nikita couldn’t keep their eyes off each other the entire evening.

‘They didn’t mind who could see them flirting and chatting away – and Molly had a huge smile on her face.’

They added: ‘The chemistry between them was clear and they even waited until they had both safely got into taxis at the end of the night – but it appeared that they were making arrangements to continue the after party just the two of them.’

Nikita and Molly were seen leaving the NTAs after-party, which was held at Wembley’s Brent Civic Centre, together, resisting the urge to hold hands as they left the venue.

MailOnline has approached Strictly and Molly’s representatives for comment.

Nikita and Molly partied until 1am despite needing to be up for training ahead of the Strictly live show on Saturday – while many of their co-stars opted to skip the ceremony.

A source said Nikita was keen to ‘focus’ on this series of Strictly and the pair’s long distance relationship was no longer working for them. 

Nikita is competing for the Strictly Glitter Ball trophy this year with swimmer Ellie while CBBC presenter Molly has already topped the leaderboard alongside her professional partner Carlos Gu. 

In the last BBC series, Nikita was rumoured to be dating his celebrity partner Tilly Ramsay, 20, but the pair are just good friends. 

Duo: Nikita is partnered with Ellie Simmonds and the Paralympic swimmer has been praised for ‘smashing prejudices about what a dancer can be’ by the dwarfism community
