Strictly pair Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington get on like a house on fire – but there’s also a pretty special bond forming between the pro dancer and Vicky’s husband, Ercan Ramadan
Strictly’s Vicky Pattison has revealed that her delight that pro dancer, Southampton-born Kai Widdington, is getting on like a house on fire with her husband of just over a year, businessman Ercan Ramadan.
Explaining during an exclusive shoot with OK!, Vicky reveals that her other half often pops into the dance studio to see them both during training, alongside his lookalike brother (“it’s those Turkish-Cypriot genes, those brothers all look alike!”), the Geordie TV star says he and Kai – who went public with his romance with relationship with City worker Chloe Wells in April – are developing a lovely friendship.

“Kai and Ercan have quite the little bromance going,” Vicky tells us, with a smile. “He’s gone down a total storm with my family and friends and I love his gorgeous girlfriend Chloe.”
Vicky and Kai have even talked about the two couples going on a double date – before realising it would be pretty much impossible, with their current schedules on Strictly. “We were so full of it at the start of this process,” Vicky admits. “A double date, what?! Nobody’s got time for that!”
Kai, who started dancing at the age of nine, the same year Strictly first aired on telly, also admits he had zero preconceptions about Heart Radio presenter Vicky before they met, other than knowing she was a total beginner when it came to dancing. But as he reveals, he is delighted by how much she has progressed since her first dance.
“If I’d shown her what she’s achieved in our most recent dances, she wouldn’t have believed it. But why stop now? We might as well go the whole way,” he says confidently. Vicky is in agreement and confesses it’s “mindblowing” – remembering with a laugh how she struggled to even clap on time to the music during the first group dance.
Since then, she’s performed a gorgeous American Smooth, the Couple’s Choice dance to Cheryl Cole’s Fight For This Love – receiving a personal message of support from the singer herself – and even the notoriously tricky samba. “Oh man, the samba. If you’d told me seven weeks ago I’d love that dance, I’d have called you a liar. Yet here I am. A big, samba-loving Geordie,” she laughs.
Kai is as loved up with girlfriend Chloe as Vicky – who says she ‘hit the jackpot’ when she met Ercan. Kai first met Chloe, who is originally from Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, at a pub in West London and according to a friend “hit it off immediately”.
Back in May, the professional dancer appeared on Lorraine to talk about his upcoming tour and admitted he was the “happiest I have ever been”. He said: “I feel very very happy and it’s largely down to my other half as well.” A month later, the loved-up pair made their first public appearance as she joined him to celebrate the first night of his Evolution tour.
