Kai Widdrington has delighted Strictly Come Dancing fans by confirming his 'comeback' for Christmas, after a crushing early exit in the new series.
Since joining the BBC show as a professional last year, Kai's time on Strictly has been rather dramatic. Having made a great first impression on fans, thanks to his fantastic partnership with TV host AJ Odudu, the pair made it all the way to the final, only for disaster to strike when AJ picked up an injury in training just days before the big night.
AJ and Kai were forced to watch from the sidelines as Giovanni Pernice and Rose Ayling-Ellis took home the Glitterball trophy, with John Whaite and Johannes Radebe in second. After the show wrapped at the end of 2021, Kai and AJ were hoping to perform together on tour, only for AJ's injury to thwart those plans as well, leaving Kai to dance with 2020 finalist Maisie Smith.
