Whatever the issue was, the dancer has now seemed to have put it to one side as she spoke out this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Alongside a picture of her, Kai and his celebrity dance partner Angela Rippon, she wrote: “What a brilliant time at @prideofbritain last night. It never fails to inspire me.<\/p>\n
“Lovely to spend the evening with Kai & Angela too.<\/p>\n
“There is so much talent on Strictly this year and it\u2019s wonderful to see their partnership developing.<\/p>\n
“Can\u2019t wait to see their dance this weekend.”<\/p>\n
