Kai told how he was the "happiest I have ever been" and "in the best shape I have been", before admitting he was in a "really good place." Lorraine stand-in host Christine Lampard, 46, then suggested his new love had a part to place in his upbeat demeanour. Strictly fan-favourite Kai, who earlier in the chat admitted he had "made a few changes" in his life, said: "I'm feeling really good, I don't know what it is. "2025 is the half of 10 years, I'm turning 30 in August, and as you said things come at the perfect time. "I feel very very happy and it's largely down to my other half as well." Christine replied: "Absolutely! "A lot of love goes a long way, we know that." LOVE STORY Kai met Chloe, an executive assistant for a firm in the City, during a trip to his local pub. Having kept their romance secret for a little while, the pair are set to 'go public' with their first red carpet appearance too. A pal said: 'Chloe and Kai met in a pub in West London and hit it off from the start. 'Chloe is a great girl and has absolutely no interest in the limelight; she just likes Kai for Kai. "They have a real laugh together and although it's early days, they're planning on moving in together in the coming months. 'Kai found it very damaging to his mental health having his past relationship with Nadiya played out in public, and thankfully Chloe has no interest at all in being in the spotlight. "She also isn't a Strictly superfan which makes things easier. 'They're super-content, and Kai attributes a lot of his looking so well to being in a happier place in life thanks to her. They make a really cute couple.' Chloe, originally from Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, now lives in London. This is Kai's first relationship following his break-up from Ukrainian pro, Nadiya, whom he dated for two years. The pair launched a sell-out tour but, awkwardly, were forced to dance together nightly whilst in the process of separating.

Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova suffers a wardrobe malfunction at the Thunderbolts* UK premiere
Nadiya Bychkova suffered a wardrobe malfunction due to the blustery weather as she attended the UK premiere of the new Marvel film Thunderbolts* on Tuesday. The pro dancer, 35, turned heads in a bejewelled orange smudge print gown with a daring leg slit that blew in the wind and came close to exposing her underwear. The Strictly Come Dancing star's eye-catching dress also boasted side cutouts and a plunging neckline, leaving her long legs, cleavage and toned midriff all on display. She boosted her height with a pair of nude court heels and toted her belongs in a matching clutch bag. The beauty accessorised with gold jewllerey and pulled her golden locks into an up do with two stands left down to frame her face. Despite the mishap, Nadiya appeared in high spirits as she posed up a storm on the red carpet before entering the star-studded event. The pro dancer, 35, turned heads in a bejewelled orange smudge print gown with a daring leg slit that was blown about by the wind The premise of the movie - which was directed by Jake Schreier - follows a group of antiheroes who are forced into a dangerous mission that could bring them redemption if they unite as a team.' Paul Pascal acts alongside the likes of Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Sebastian Stan and Harrison Ford in Marvel's Thunderbolts. Nadiya's outing comes after it was revealed that she has been forced to cut ticket prices for her 'up close and personal' live shows. The beauty is having to cut prices for her live tour after struggling to sell out any of the venues up and down the country. The pro dancer is in the middle of a national tour as part of her A Special Evening with Nadiya Bychkova show. Tickets for the event were originally priced at between £27 - £43 but have now been dropped to just £5. Nadiya is selling the newly-priced tickets on the Show Film First website in hopes to gain any last minute interest ahead of her gigs. The site is regularly used by artists in a bid to try and fill up empty seats for their events that have failed to sell out. All of Nadiya's upcoming dates are being offered at the new cut price. Her shows are expected to lift the lid on her life story and dish the juice on all her time on the BBC dance competition. She will also perform some of her favourite dances from the TV series. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Nadiya for comment. The news comes shortly after reports emerged that her ex, Kai Widdrington, 29, has found love again nine months after their split. MailOnline confirmed Nadiya had split from her Strictly Kai after two years in June 2024, at the end of their lucrative tour Behind The Magic. In the latest, it has now been reported that Kai has found love again, following their acrimonious split last year. The Strictly Come Dancing star is said to be secretly dating Chloe Wells, an executive assistant who hails from Essex, after meeting on a night out at a west London pub. According to The Sun, they have kept their romance private as Kai struggled with the publicity surrounding his past relationship with Nadiya, but are now set to make their debut red-carpet appearance together. And in a sign of how well things are progressing, the couple are reportedly planning to move in together soon. A pal told the publication: 'Chloe is a great girl and has absolutely no interest in the limelight; she just likes Kai for Kai. They have a real laugh together and although it's early days, they're planning on moving in together in the coming months. 'Kai found it very damaging to his mental health having his past relationship with Nadiya played out in public, and thankfully Chloe has no interest at all in being in the spotlight. She also isn't a Strictly superfan which makes things easier. 'They're super-content, and Kai attributes a lot of his looking so well to being in a happier place in life thanks to her. They make a really cute couple.' Representatives for Kai had no further comment when contacted by MailOnline. Kai and Nadiya reportedly ended their romance after 'emotionally drifting away from each other' with sources claiming they were battling off-stage problems during their tour. It was reported at the time that the pressure of being in each other's space 24/7 eventually 'took its toll' on their relationship. A friend of Kai and Nadiya told The Sun: 'It's heartbreaking. Kai and Nadiya seemed like the most perfect couple and have been so, so blissfully in love. 'But the pressures of touring - being in each other's space 24/7 and the stress of performing a sell-out show - eventually took its toll. 'They had been drifting emotionally for a while, and things actually came to a head during the tour - ironically called Behind The Magic - which, obviously, was incredibly problematic.' Kai and Nadiya made the mutual decision to quit 'after a rough few weeks' once their tour finished, the source added. But it appeared the split was far from amicable, with the pair having to be kept far apart at the National Television Awards in September. An onlooker told MailOnline at the time: 'When the pair got inside the O2 they gave each other a very wide berth. 'Organisers had ensured there would be no awkward camera shots by keeping the frosty pair apart from each other. 'Angela Rippon was on Kai's arm all night, and was keen to show her support after his recent demotion. When it came to accepting Strictly's award, Kai was front of centre behind Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman but Nadiya was nowhere to be seen. 'If this is what they are like at an awards bash, imagine what things are like in the rehearsal room.'
