Kai Widdrington has delighted fans with a major update on want he and fellow dancer and girlfriend Nadiya Bychkova have been up to.
Kai, who won the Strictly Christmas special last year, has been very busy of late, touring the country on the show's live tour. After Gorka Marquez turned down the opportunity to team up with his celebrity partner for the nationwide jaunt, Kai was called in to be her new partner and their double act hit the ground running, as they emerged from the tour as overall champions, having won 13 shows, including a clean sweep of three in Newcastle.
Strictly fans lapped up Helen's partnership with Kai but now it's Nadiya who he is busy rehearsing with as the couple get ready for their own tour. There was major excitement amongst viewers of the hit BBC programme in the autumn when Kai and Nadiya confirmed they'd be hitting the road with their Once Upon a Time show.

The production is being billed as the 'most glamorous dance show yet' and opening night is now approaching, with Kai and Nadiya, who have been an item since early in 2022, set to take to the stage in Portsmouth on March 27.
And, having had a bit of a break after the Strictly tour wrapped up earlier this month, Kai took to his Instagram story on Monday to declare that 'rehearsals are officially underway, as he uploaded a video of him and Nadiya in action in the dance studio, alongside a choreographer.
Kai's update of him and Nadiya in rehearsals came after a very sweet post he made in her honour on Valentine's Day. Sharing a photo of them together, he simply wrote: "HVD" accompanied by a love heart emoji. One of their fans replied: "HVD you beautiful couple! sending all the love and happiness," with another responding: "HVD to a gorgeous couple! Hope you have the best day together!"
