Every year, fans speculate about whether anyone will fall victim to the “Strictly curse”.
The BBC dancing show has became regarded as “cursed” after a series of very public break-ups from show participants – and ever since, more and more fan favourites have succumbed.
However, Lauren is determined to let fans know that her Nikita won’t be a victim of the so-called “curse”
Taking to her TikTok. Lauren posted a video asking fans to be mindful of those already in relationships on the show.
She filmed herself smiling while pretending to scroll on the screen.
Lauren wrote over the top of the short clip: “Me watching all the cute TikToks of all the strictly couple.”
Lauren then pulled a confused face, and wrote: “Comments saying ‘I hope they get the strictly curse’.”
She then added: “Please be respectful to the real-life partners and let them have a good experience of the show too.”
Lauren and Nikita started dating back in October 2023.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Nikita and Lauren have been dating for months and seem to have an amazing connection.
“The pair have tried to keep their romance under the radar but they have been attending events together and are really enjoying each other’s company.
“They have been spending a lot of time together and even went on holiday together in the summer.
“Things are progressing and Nikita is very happy with his new romance.
“Lauren joined Nikita and his parents at Saturday’s live show and he was chuffed to have her in the crowds supporting him.
“His Strictly co-stars also think they are a great match and are rooting for the pair.”
Since finding romance, the couple jetted off to Croatia, with Lauren sharing snaps of them on the plane and beach.
They have also enjoyed a string of dates together in London.
Nikita then confirmed their relationship on Instagram, with lots of loved-up selfies.
