Kai Widdrington, Nikita Kuzmin, Cameron Lombard, and Jowita Przystal have been pictured joining the slew of dazzling professionals as they rehearsed a sultry number. The newbies are set to appear on our screens in September 2021 – though it’s not yet clear if they will be partnered with celebrities this year.
