A source close to the couple told The Sun of their break up: “Nikita wanted to totally focus on this series of Strictly and decided a while back he wanted to end his relationship with Nicole. “They had been together for five years and it ended up being a mutual decision. “Nikita is totally caught up in Strictly so they decided it was for the best for them to break up."
