THE STRICTLY COUPLE ON WHO THEY’D LIKE TO FANDANGO WITH
NADIYA BYCHK & KAI WIDDRINGTON
So much has been made of the Strictly “curse”, but for Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington, the show was been nothing but a blessing as their relationship blossomed.
And now Nadiya, 34, and Kai, 28, are heading on their second tour, Nadiya &Kai: Behind The Magic. heat caught up with them to chat about dancing and romancing...
What’s your favourite style of dance to do together?
Kai: I like dancing all dances with Nadiya. It’s easy, effortless. She’s like aRolls-Royce! She’s a five-time world champion and the best in the business. Professionally, I’m lucky to share the stage with her, but it does make it that bit more special that we’re together.
Speaking of Strictly, –you recently finished the live tour. How was that?
Nadiya: It was a lot of fun. The last series of Strictly had a great line-up and, for me, because I didn’t have a celebrity partner, it was a great opportunity to spend time with everyone and get to know them. We played The Traitors every night.
Ooh, who were the Traitors?
K: Initially, it was Nancy [Xu], Annabelle [Croft] and me, but I got caught immediately. Nadiya knows me too well and sussed me pretty quickly. Ican’t lie!
Who was the best player?
N: I was good. Well, I caught Kai!
K: I think Nadiya was best at sussing out who was who and, as aresult, got killed pretty early on. Layton [Williams] ended up winning.
Are you still close with all of your former celeb
