The 26-year-old professional dancer is currently paired up with 33-year-old TV presenter AJ on the latest series of 'Strictly Come Dancing', and he stepped in to help out when she lost a tooth after consuming numerous sweet treats.

She is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "I have so much chocolate and so many sweets one of my back teeth fell out.

"I had to go to the dentist and I forgot my purse, so I was like, ‘Come on Kai, cough up! He sorted me right out."

It comes as the pair have been romantically linked throughout the current series of the Latin and ballroom show.

Last Saturday (06.11.21), AJ burst into tears as she topped the 'Strictly Come Dancing' leaderboard, after she and Kai wowed the judges on the BBC show with their Charleston.

The duo performed their table-topping routine to the sound of 'Don't Bring Lulu' by Dorothy Provine, and scored an impressive 39 out of 40 points.

Judge Motsi Mabuse said: "Oh my goodness, I feel so proud of you! It was authentic, the acting was great, you came in at a high level but you have sat on that high level and gone even further!"

And head judge Shirley Ballas added: "I don't have a paddle big enough for you - that was amazing!"

AJ broke down in tears after her routine, admitting she's endured a tough few days as she learned the dance.

She said: "This week has been so hard. When you fall a lot it's so hard, you lose confidence in yourself, but Kai manages to pull the confidence out of me and I'm so happy."
