Nikita Kuzmin's girlfriend took a swipe at the Celebrity Big Brother star after he entered the house.
Model Lauren Jaine took a cheeky swipe at her boyfriend while the Strictly Come Dancing star settles into his new home with his fellow showbiz housemates. She shared a picture of the puzzled-looking ballroom and latin dancer in the Celebrity Big Brother house with the caption: "Me when I see Nikita doing the washing up in the BB house but he doesn't do it at home."
It comes after former X Factor judge Louis Walsh suggested sparks could fly with Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. During the first episode, Louis discussed the Strictly star's supposed closeness with his new housemate while holed up with Sharon Osbourne in a secret room.
Nikita's girlfriend poked fun at her boyfriend
Nikita is supported by his girlfriend Lauren (Dave J. Hogan/Getty Images)"I think I've spotted a romance. A budding romance. I think it's Ekin-Su and Nikita. He's always really close to her. I don't blame him," he observed. Nikita revealed he was dating model Lauren last year and the pair jetted off to Dubai on holiday soon after.
However, Celebrity Big Brother fans were left confused when Lauren was announced as "a friend" when she appeared on spin-off show Late and Live. One eagle-eyed viewer tweeted: "Why does it seem like Late & Live could be trying to start a certain narrative about Nikita. Calling Lauren his friend and not gf. They do love to try to play certain narratives around people. We know that from Jordan last year #cbbuk."

Lauren addressed the mistake on Instagram after inquisitive fans questioned why the model was labelled as Nikita's "friend". One follower asked: "How come they referred to you and your name tag as Nikita's friend? You're a beautiful couple x"
"It was just a mistake with the name badges!" Lauren explained. Before the Strictly star entered the Big Brother house, the model gushed over her boyfriend in an adorable Instagram post. She uploaded a series of loved-up snaps, writing: "The secret is out! As much as I’m going to miss this crazy boy, I’m so excited for him to be part of this amazing experience. The gattos and I will be watching every single night!!!! Love you @nikita__kuzmin."
Before entering the house, Nikita revealed he can't wait to be reunited with his girlfriend. When asked who he wants to see at the end of the runway when his Big Brother journey comes to an end, he said: "My girlfriend, my family and my two cats! And of course, I hope my Strictly family will be watching! I will be happy if they can take their time to come and see me. They’re all busy but if they can come, I would love that."
