Strictly Come Dancing lovebirds Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have made a big achievement as a couple.

The two professional dancers, who last year revealed they were in a relationship, are starring in their very own song and dance show Once Upon A Time, which is now going on the road.

Nadiya took to Instagram to celebrate ahead of their opening night in Bath on March 30, while she also shared a carousel of pictures from their first show.

"Honestly we can't believe this is happening, opening night @nadiyaandkai we are so ready! Can't wait for you guys to see it. Let's do it," she captioned a picture of her and Kai together.

"What a feeling," she then said of the hype of being on stage for their first show.

"What an opening night. Trying to take it all in. Thank you to each and everyone for support and hard work."

Speaking about Once Upon a Time prior to their UK tour, Kai also gave a shoutout to their team.

"We believe we have assembled one of the best casts around to support us on our tour so we cannot wait to get out there next spring and entertain audiences across the country by giving them all a show to remember," he said in a statement.

Last month, the pair opened up on their favourite moments from working together on Strictly Come Dancing.

Nadiya shared she felt "relaxed" with Kai, and realised there was more to their friendship when they danced together to Luke Evans' cover of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'.

"I was so relaxed, confident and sure nothing would go wrong because I can trust him so much. I'd never experienced it before to that level. We did it in one take, which is rare – it's very rare," she told OK! Magazine.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
