Dancing With The Stars Ireland professional to join Strictly Come Dancing

Kai Widdrington has been a Dancing with the Stars stalwart since joining the RTÉ One series in 2017

Moving over to Strictly Come Dancing is Southampton native Kai Widdrington's 'dream come true'.

Four new professional dancers will star in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing in Britain, including Dancing With The Stars Ireland’s Kai Widdrington.

Former Let’s Dance Germany professional Nikita Kuzmin, reigning South African Latin champion Cameron Lombard and The Greatest Dancer winner Jowita Przystal will also join the programme, which will return to the BBC this autumn.
