Strictly Come Dancing star could leave as they 'struggle' to connect with pro
A BBC Strictly Come Dancing star may be set to exit the show due to a "struggle" to connect with her professional partner.
Renowned body language expert Darren Stanton analysed the cast of the popular dance competition ahead of the series premiere on BBC One and iPlayer. Stanton predicts that Nikita Kanda and Krishnan Guru-Murthy could find themselves in hot water after the first week.
He expressed concerns about Nikita's performance, stating: "Nikita I'm not seeing a great deal of the core character traits that traditionally line up with those who are successful in the competition."
He further commented on her potential struggle to connect with her professional dancer, saying to Betfair Slots: "It is early days but she doesn't look to have the willingness to commit to her training partner and hand over control. She might struggle in the early stages until she finds her feet but I don't think she will be a contender at this stage."

Nikita is struggling to connect with her dance partner, says the expert (PA)Radio presenter Nikita is currently paired with BBC Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez. Meanwhile, Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy is dancing Lauren Oakley. Krishnan seems to be struggling with his two left feet, according to Darren. "He doesn't look comfortable in his own skin on the dancefloor, he looks very self-conscious which could be a barrier when it comes to him letting himself go fully," Darren observed.

He added: "His mindset and his personality is of someone who likes to be in control so it'll be interesting to see if he can get past that and throw himself into the competition." Darren also dropped some intriguing insights about Bobby Brazier, labelling him as a "wildcard". And as for Les Dennis, the former ITV Family Fortunes star, Darren believes he might just "surprise people".
"I'm not sure how far he will get but I think he will surprise people and work hard," the body language expert explained.

Been a huge fan of Nigel’s since I was 17 and first saw him in Eastenders. #strictly."
