He only lasted two weeks on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, but Kai Widdrington will be on the show's live tour, to partner Helen Skelton in a move that fans definitely didn't see coming.
Kai has had a rollercoaster of a time on Strictly so far, since joining as a pro dancer last year. His first celebrity partner was TV host AJ Odudu, with the pair making it all the way to the final, before they suffered an agonising blow when AJ suffered an injury in rehearsals, with just days to go, forcing them to pull out of competing and having to watch from the sidelines as Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice lifted the Glitterball trophy.
Fast forward 12 months and Kai was nowhere near the final this year, with him and celeb partner, Loose Women host Kaye Adams kicked off in the first elimination, after just two weeks in the ballroom. That meant that, other than seeing him in pro group numbers and a routine with other half Nadiya, viewers haven't seen much of Kai this series.
