“The freshest fade in LDN,” Kai wrote on the post. He tagged the barber’s in the caption too.

A cursory glance at the unisex barber’s Instagram page shows that the likes of Nikita Kuzmin, John Whaite, and Janette Manrara have had trims there too! It looks like the place to go if you’re a Strictly star!

Kai looks to have a busy few months ahead of him in 2022. The dancer and his Strictly castmates will soon be heading off on a nationwide tour, bringing their spectacular dance routines to arenas across the whole of the UK.

The tour is expected to kick off on January 20 in Birmingham and conclude on February 13 at the O2 arena in London.

Kai was initially meant to be dancing with his series partner AJ Odudu on the tour. However, due to the injury that caused her to drop out of the final, she had to withdraw from taking part in the tour too.

“I’m really gutted to hear that @ajodudu won’t be able to join me on the BBC Strictly Tour around the UK,” Kai wrote on Instagram yesterday (Thursday, January 6).

The star then sent his love to the star, before revealing who his new partner on the tour would be – Maisie Smith.

“I cannot wait to see you all on the road and get to dance in front of a live audience once again,” he said.
