Strictly Come Dancing's Kaye Adams has joked that she could have "given birth" to pro partner Kai Widdrington.

During Friday's launch show, Loose Women star Kaye, 59, was paired with pro Kai, 27, as the celebrities found out their pairings.

Talking about being partnered with Kai to OK! and other press, she joked: "My first thing was, 'Jesus Christ, I could have given birth to him!,' that was my first thought.

"But you know what? Having known him for two days, I wish I had. He is such a lovely, lovely guy. I'm not even gonna say boy, because he's just a great guy. He's so talented, a great sense of humour and he's really made me feel so comfortable.

"I didn't think I would be able to feel so comfortable with someone so much younger, but it's just taken out of the equation because he's just a talented professional, really lovely guy and so yeah, I'm thrilled. I really am thrilled."

Kaye sweetly adding during the launch show: "Can I just say to Mrs Widdrington, you have done an amazing job with this guy, he’s such a lovely man, he really is, I’m so happy to be with Kai!"

Hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, the Strictly launch show on Friday saw 15 celebrities paired with their new professional partners take to the floor for the first time in a huge group number.

While dusting off their paddles were returning judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.

The launch show also featured two incredible routines from the Strictly professionals, the return of reigning champion Rose Ayling-Ellis and a spectacular music performance from John Legend.

And viewers won't have to wait long for the next Strictly instalment as the first 2022 live show will take place at 6:45pm on Saturday 24 September on BBC One.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One.
