Kai Widdrington has revealed his family's footballing links don't stop at his famous dad Tommy, with a photo of him from his own footballing days, together with younger brother Theo, who is a regular for National League side Kings Lynn.
When Kai joined the Strictly ranks in 2021, viewers were surprised to learn that he was the son of footballer Tommy Widdrington. Newcastle born player Tommy's careers started on a similar path to NUFC legend Alan Shearer, with him making the switch to Southampton as a schoolboy trainee.
Like Shearer, he also had a stint in the Premier League, starring in the Saints' side that finished 10th in the 1994/5 season and then again, scoring twice the following season when they narrowly avoided relegation. From Southampton, Tommy moved to Grimsby Town for a then record club fee of £300,000 before moving onto Port Vale and then Hartlepool.
