Strictly Come Dancing’s Kai Widdrington has revealed he’s the ‘happiest he’s ever been’ as he gushed over his new girlfriend during an appearance on Lorraine

Strictly Come Dancing’s Kai Widdrington was all smiles on Wednesday’s Lorraine as he gushed over his new girlfriend in a chat with host Christine Lampard.

Kai, 29, revealed he was the “happiest he’s ever been,” explaining it was largely down to his other half. The dancer recently went Instagram official with his new girlfriend Chloe Wells just nine months after he and Nadiya Bychkova, 35, decided to call time on their romance last summer.

Speaking to Christine about hopefully being given a partner on this year’s Strictly, Kai said: “You can either be sad about it, or ask what you can change and improve in your life.”

Revealing he made some changes in his life, Kai continued: “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and I’m in the best psychical shape I’ve ever been in since I was 17 and I’m looking forward to my tour. I’m really excited and I’m in a really good place.”

Christine then responded: “That’s probably because you found a gorgeous girl, and that’s all part of it as well.”

Kai, who has called his new tour Evolution, said: “I’m feeling really good. I’ve started a new chapter in my life. Things come at the perfect time. I’m very very happy and it’s largely down to my other half.”

The BBC star reportedly met Chloe at a pub near his West London home, and have been keeping things very private. However, last month the star took to Instagram to share a loved up snap of the two looking into each other’s eyes.

In the caption, Kai penned: “Happiness is underrated,” alongside a black heart emoji, as he tagged Chloe in the post. Chloe then commented on the post with a red love heart emoji.

Kai announced his split with Strictly co-star Nadiya last year, citing the pressure that comes with working and touring as the main reason for going their separate ways.

Speaking to the Mirror at the Pride of Britain awards in October on where their relationship stood, Nadiya said: “We work together but we are not friends and that’s okay. One thing I can tell you is that when you see me dancing with him it will be amazing because I’m a professional.”
