Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin has opened up his diabetes diagnosis and revealed his low blood sugar left him shaking during a live interview.

The professional dancer appeared on BBC Morning Live on Monday (24 March) and discussed more about the impact diabetes has on his life.

He said: “Recently, I’ve been trying to be really, really honest about diabetes and actually, if I am being honest right now my sugar is actually going quite low, and that’s why I am shaking, it is just the reality of diabetes.”

Presenter Gethin Jones stepped in to ask if the dancer was OK, to which he replied: “I just need to make the best of it.”
