Strictly Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington has been wowing audiences nationwide on the hit show’s live tour after a series setback that saw him without a dance partner.

With the current BBC One hot contest drawing to a close, just days are left before fans must bid farewell until autumn, but Kai’s scintillating moves will linger. The 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Live tour has showcased Kai’s remarkable talent following his unexpected partner-less stint on the latest TV season.

Stepping into the spotlight, Kai now shines alongside Gladiators sensation Montell Douglas in a sizzling new duo, filling in for Montell’s regular 2024 series partner Johannes Radebe, who is currently enthralling audiences with his debut theatre role elsewhere.

The pair’s dynamic performances have been the talk of the Strictly Live tour since its grand opening on January 17, commemorated by Kai’s jubilant Instagram post featuring himself and Montell poised to dazzle, captioned: “ITS SHOWTIME ! ! ! ! ! @strictlycomedancinglive.”

As the grand finale this Sunday (February 9) looms, Kai captures precious moments, sharing an array of behind-the-scenes glimpses via Instagram, from cozy backstage interactions with Montell to off-stage camaraderie with fellow Strictly stars, reports the Manchester Evening News.
