Speaking ahead of the special, Tamzin shared her excitement to dance with Nikita, saying: 'We call him Prince Charming in the house.
'He just has the hair and face and the body and everything, he looks like Prince Charming.'

Vogue, who shares Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two, with her husband Spencer Matthews revealed her plans for Christmas.
She said: 'PJs in the morning, matching PJs with my kids, if possible. Then I always choose a Christmas Day outfit, which I probably get into for about an hour and a half, and then I get back into my PJs.
'We try and do a little bit of dancing. The kids love music. I don't think any of us in our house are dancers but it's all about the vibe.'
Judge Motsi Mabuse added: 'Christmas in our house is all about family, food, and fun! We wake up early, open presents together, and spend the day cooking a big feast while listening to Christmas music.
'One unusual tradition? We always end the day with a little family dance in the living room.'
Speaking of his traditions, Josh said: 'I am insistent about sequence and turn taking with present giving. I manage to lose all fun.'
In the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, each of the six couples will perform a festive fuelled routine in the hope of impressing the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, and the voting studio audience.
The festive special is pre-recorded weeks in advance with some of the pro dancers like Amy Dowden and Nikita Kuzmin spotted at Elstree Studios with the cast.
