And Dan, who was a rival to the pair on last year's series, after being paired up with Nadiya, spoke out in the replies.

Kai announced: “I’m really gutted to hear that @ajodudu won’t be able to join me on the BBC Strictly Tour around the UK.

“I know we were both really focused and willing to get back on the floor in the arenas and finish what we started.

“I know we will get to dance again very soon and I am sending all my love and well wishes to AJ for a quick recovery.

“With that, I am also very lucky to say that I get to continue on the tour with my amazing new tour partner @maisiesmithofficial who as you all now SMASHED last year’s Strictly.

“I cannot wait to see you all on the road and get to dance in front of a live audience once again.”

Dan asked: “Errr… where was the call?”

“#KaiAndDansShowdance could have been incredible," he cheekily added.
