Kai Widdrington has made a gushing confession about his Strictly partner Angela Rippon as he opened up about what she’s like off camera.
The pair danced together on the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing. They were eliminated eighth. Like many pros and their celeb partners, Kai and Angela’s friendship has continued away from the dance floor.
In a new interview, Kai spoke about what Angela was like away from the cameras as he admitted she was “even nicer”.

Speaking to Bella magazine alongside his girlfriend Nadiya Bychkova, Kai said: “I’m still very much in touch with Angela. I think the whole nation loves her even more now after her Strictly stint.
“Everyone will be pleased to know that she’s even nicer off camera. If anyone deserves to be a bit of a diva behind the scenes, it’s her – she’s been in the business over half a century – but she couldn’t be nicer to everyone she works with.”
The dancer added: “She hates me for saying it, but she really is a national treasure.”
