BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Kai Widdrington 'pleased to announce' as he reveals move after co-star 'split'

Strictly Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington has revealed he's own solo move after reports of a 'split' with co-star Nadiya Bychkova. The dancer is currently preparing for his return to the ballroom after he was announced back in June in the line-up of professional dancers returning for the 2024 series.

Last year, Kai was partnered with broadcasting legend Angela Rippon with the pair making it through to the iconic Blackpool week. The pair later headed on the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2024 tour which took place in arenas up and down the country earlier this year.

But it has now been a few weeks since the Strictly dancer began work on the upcoming series. Last month, they joined creative director Jason Gilkinson in rehearsals as they prepared the string of pro numbers that will feature throughout the series and set to be pre-recorded later this month.

But amid the hard work ahead of Strictly's return next month (September), Kai wanted to share some news with his fans and so he took to Instagram to confirm his new show.

The 28-year-old revealed she will be hitting the road on a solo tour next year, titled EVOLUTION, which will be stopping at venues in Swansea, Doncaster, Leicester, Dublin, Belfast and Dublin in May and June 2025.

Alongside a post for the show, Kai wrote on Instagram: "Are you ready... I’m so pleased to announce I’m back for my own solo headline tour next year, it’s going to be bigger and better than ever! EVOLUTION...

"I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and new faces for more fun, laughter and dancing. I’m also pleased to say - Ireland I’m coming back to see you!! See you in 2025."
