Strictly's Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin enjoy a cosy dinner with EastEnders actress Maisie Smith as they take a break from tour rehearsals

Nikita Kuzmin and Tilly Ramsay enjoyed a cosy dinner on Friday night with EastEnders actress Maisie Smith. 

The Strictly Come Dancing partners, who sent tongues wagging while on the show with their onscreen chemistry, looked in good spirits as they chatted away while they relished in the downtime from rehearsing for the upcoming live tour.  

Nikita, 24, looked chilled as he wore a grey hoodie at the London eatery, while Tilly, 20, opted for a black jumper. 

The daughter of Gordon Ramsay had swept her blonde locks back into trendy claw clip while sipping on an orange drink. 

Maisie, 20, meanwhile, looked casual in a charcoal hoodie while her flame red locks were styled into french plaits. 

The celebrities of the tour have been bonding over the last week, with Tilly and Maisie spotted numerous times in good spirits leaving the studios.  

Friday was the fifth and final day of rehearsals for the celebrities, who will start their tour on January 20. 

Maisie will be partnered with ballroom pro Kai Widdrington for the upcoming shows, while Tilly and Nikita will be reunited. 

AJ Odudu was forced to pull out of the tour due to her ongoing foot injury and as a result was replaced by 2020 contestant Maisie, it was confirmed last week.

The TV presenter, 33, had to withdraw from the BBC show's grand final in December after suffering ligament damage to her ankle during training with her professional partner Kai.

She will also be joined by John and Johannes Radebe as well as Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, from the 2021 series.

Other dance couples on the bill from this year's show include Sara Davies and Aljaz Skorjanec, and Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu.

Strictly's professional dancers Amy Dowden, Neil Jones, Luba Mushtuk and Jowita Przystal will also be performing with the couples in over 33 sequin-spangled shows.

Janette Manrara will be hosting the tour after the star took over from Zoe Ball as host of It Takes Two this year.

Meanwhile, it will be choreographed and directed by Craig Revel Horwood and promises audiences an evening of glamour and excitement.
