The dancing duo shared a tearful moment during the Strictly final, which aired on Saturday night (16 December), with professional dancer Nikita breaking down in tears during live TV. After being reminded by presenter Claudia Winkleman that their performance was their last ever dance together, Nikita wiped tears from his eyes as he admitted it had only just hit him what it meant as he said an emotional goodbye to Layton on air. Both stars began sobbing as they hugged each other, and discussed their bond and their time on the show.

As the judges talked of bigger things to come for Layton, Nikita said to Claudia before choking up: "It's just that she's saying goodbye and I looked him in the eyes, and I realised it's the end." On their final performance, Layton added: "It felt special to close the show with it, our last dance."
