Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya and Kai special moment sends fans into a frenzy after first on show

Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya and Kai have sent fans in a frenzy after announcing some big news. It comes after the couple celebrated a major first on the BBC programme.

Professional dancers Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova have been an official couple for a number of months. They were spotted looking close while on the Strictly Come Dancing tour back in January.

Chronicle Live reports the pair have been spotted at numerous events together including the Pride of Britain awards. Kai and Nadiya have been performing in various group dances together during this year's season of Strictly.

But at the weekend's Strictly results show brought a very special moment for them, as they got to dance together for the first time to one of Strictly's musical guests.

Kai, who was the first pro to get the boot this year alongside celeb partner Kaye Adams and Nadiya, who left weeks later alongside Matt Goss, performed a breath-taking routine in front of Beauty and the Beast star Luke Evans.

The actor delivered a cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water. Kai and Nadiya were just as delighted as fans at home by their performance, with them sharing a joint post on Instagram after credits rolled.

Next to a photo of them posing with Luke, they wrote: "What an honour and a privilege to perform along side the incredibly talented @thereallukeevans and of course for us, a beautiful moment, performing our first music act together on the show, truly a special moment we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did."

A day after their performance aired, Kai and Nadiya returned to Instagram to break news of their own nationwide tour - Once Upon A Time. The production is being billed as 'the most glamorous dance show yet' and will kick off in Portsmouth in arch, before taking to the stage at venues across the country for over two months.

Tickets are on sale now and, writing about the tour, Kai commented: "This genuinely is a dream come true for both of us. We’re so excited to finally share it with all of you. We hope you come along for the ride!"
