Kai's facts and stats
- AJ & Kai were forced to withdraw from the S19 Final after AJ tore a ligament. They had jointly topped the Semi-Final leaderboard with Rose & Giovanni after performing a perfect Quickstep and a 39-scoring Rumba
- Kai is one of 8 pros in the Rumba 39 club: an exclusive group who have been denied a perfect Rumba score by receiving a 9 from Craig (others are: Vincent, Artem, Pasha, Aliona, Oti, Johannes and Carlos). No perfect Rumbas have been danced to date
- Angela & Kai’s 2021 Halloween week ‘Murder She Wrote’ Charleston received a 9 from Craig, and 8 from the other judges. A rare instance of Craig being the most generous judge!
- In 2024, Kai set a new World Record for the most Cha Cha Cha Time Steps, completing 15 in 30 seconds
- Kai has performed one perfect routine on Strictly, a Quickstep with AJ in the S19 Semi-Final; he has performed 2 perfect dances in the Christmas special, winning with Alexandra Mardell in 2022 (Quickstep) and Tayce (Cha Cha Cha) in 2024
