pro tried hard to play it cool after being asked by whether he and have gone ‘official’ .
A group of the BBC show’s professional dancers appeared on Friday night’s edition of hosted by Zoe and Ronan Keating, ahead of their upcoming tour.
Faces such as Dianne Buswell and Karen Hauer strutted their stuff for fans at the end of the show, to give a taster of what could be expected during their live shows.
However, there was also something else on host Zoe’s mind, when she got chatting to Kai about what fans could expect.
She said to the dancer: ‘Hello Kai, how are you doing? Is it official, you and Nadiya? Is it official?’
Kai laughed off Zoe’s comments and remained coy, as the presenter went on to add: ‘Sorry! Let’s talk about the tour.’
His fellow pros also saw the funny side in Zoe’s need for gossip, as Kai responded: ’This is going to be all-out dancing. This show has been two years in the making so we’re finally going to get out on the road.
‘We’re all so excited to perform in front of a live audience in a theatre, so it’s a bit more up close and personal.’
He went on to share: ‘We’ve been working really hard to get it on the road, so you’ll see a little bit of it tonight and yeah, come and see us!’
Karen weighed in: ‘You’ll get to know us a little bit better. Knowing our quirks, our love for dance, we have a lot of quirks – it’s going to be a fantastic show. It’s really hard to learn a script!’
The pair also got close during the routine, while delivering a masterclass in Strictly excellence for those watching at home.
