Strictly Come Dancing fans have been offered to “catch a glimpse of the magic” as professional dancers Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington return to the stage in a new show.
Earlier this year, the Strictly stars debuted their first tour together – described as a romantic fairytale dance show – and are now planning another series of dates in 2024.
Delving into the show, Kai – a former dancer on Dancing with the Stars Ireland – revealed that touring alongside Nadiya was a “lifelong dream” for them both.
“Starring in Once Upon A Time, our first headline tour, was the realisation of a lifelong dream for both Nadiya and I, a real career highlight,” he said.
“Now we get the chance to do it all over again next summer with our new show, Behind The Magic.

“We cannot wait to get back on stage together and entertain our fans once more, and to be able to bring the curtain down in my hometown of Southampton will be the icing on the cake.”
Kai and Nadiya will be backed by a cast of singers and dancers as the couple “invite audiences back into their world to catch a rare insider’s glimpse into how all the magic comes together”.
Nadiya, a two-time world champion and European champion in ballroom and Latin 10 dance, added: “I cannot wait for everyone to see our new show.”
She continued: “It is so exciting to be able to throw a lifetime of my thoughts, visions and dreams into Behind The Magic and to create something unique and inspiring with the most talented and incredible people.”
