Who is Nikita Kanda?
Nikita Kanda, a British radio presenter, broadcaster, and dancer, started getting more media attention after she was announced to be competing as one of the contestants on the competition show, “Strictly Come Dancing,” in 2023. Although she became the second celebrity to be eliminated from the show, she described her participation as a “dream come true.”
The media attention she gained from her participation in “Strictly Come Dancing” aside, Nikita has always been a reputable figure in the British media industry. Notably, she first started getting media attention in 2021, after she became the host of the BBC Asian Network’s “Breakfast Show,” so that she would, in 2022, be nominated for Presenter of the Year at the Asian Media Awards.
Now aged 28 years and currently living in London, England, United Kingdom, Nikita Kanda was rumored to have started dating her “Strictly Come Dancing” partner, Gorka Marquez. Well, the tea is that she is not because recently, Gorkaʼs girlfriend, Gemma Atkinson, declared her support for the couple (her boyfriend, Gorka, and Nikita) in the competition.
Managed and represented by Money Management, United Kingdom, Nikita has never been involved in any relationship controversy. Anyhoo, let’s get into everything else we found out about her, shall we?! 🙂
