I am coming to some selected venues near you in 2025 and we have a brilliant night planned.
“I promise you’ll get the chance to ask some of your own questions and… of course… I will be dancing for you too!”

Nadiya and Kai ‘split’
Meanwhile, t was reported in July that Nadiya had split from her Strictly co-star Kai Widdrington after two years.
A source told The Sun at the time: “It’s heartbreaking. Kai and Nadiya seemed like the most perfect couple and have been so, so blissfully in love.
“But the pressures of touring – being in each other’s space 24/7, and the stress of performing a sell-out show eventually took its toll. After a tough few weeks, they sat down together and decided to call it quits.
“They remain incredibly close and are determined their split will not have any impact on the next series of Strictly – they remain consummate professionals, and nothing will change that.”
