Nadiya said: “Kai and I are extremely excited to perform our brand-new show Once Upon A Time to audiences all over the UK. We have both toured with some great shows in the past so now to headline our own tour together will be something special.

Kai added: “To headline a show in the UK like Once Upon A Time is a dream come true, and to do it alongside Nadiya will make it even more amazing.
