Strictly star Kai Widdrington to host shows on Magic Radio
Kai Widdrington is stepping into a very festive spotlight this Christmas.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer is hosting his own Christmas specials on Magic Radio, following his visit to the station earlier this year with then dance partner Vicky Pattinson, where he revealed his long-standing love for the station.
The two festive shows will air on 21 December and 24 December, where he’ll play a selection of his Christmas favourites, alongside songs connected to his ballroom career and tracks that soundtrack important moments in his life.
Alongside the music, Kai also opens up about Widdrington family Christmas traditions.
One annual ritual, as you might expect, includes sitting down together to watch the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special on Christmas Day, a tradition that has taken on extra meaning in recent years.
The dancer won the Strictly Christmas Special in both 2022 and 2024, turning it into a joyful family occasion.
This year, he is hoping to make it a hat-trick as he returns to the ballroom for the festive show partnered with All Saints singer Melanie Blatt.
Kai said: “I’m thrilled to be sharing my music loves with Magic Radio listeners this Christmas! I’ve been a massive fan of Magic for ages – it’s the station I put on when I need good vibes, good music, and that bit of sparkle.
“Honestly, this is a dream come true for me, especially at Christmas – my favourite time of year. I love everything about it: the lights, the songs, the whole warm-fuzzy feeling of it all.
“So, getting to share that Christmas magic with listeners feels like a real treat. I can’t wait.”
Kai Widdrington’s Christmas specials will air on Magic Radio at 6pm on Sunday 21 December and 7pm on Thursday 24 December.
