The former star said: “I am absolutely over the moon to be paired with Kai.
“I know how much of a phenomenal dancer and teacher he is and he is already helping me so much with my confidence and nerves.
“He’s showing me so much patience which I’m very grateful for, as I don’t only want to make Kai proud, but I also want to make my husband and all my family proud on the dance floor too.”
A source added: “Kai and Vicky are getting on absolutely brilliantly – he’s aware she’s never danced before and that her nerves have been getting to her a tiny bit – which is natural of course.
“He’s being really patient and understanding.
“Kai is a great teacher and Vicky is over the moon with her pairing. His family are from the which Vicky loves as he’s always slipping into her accent which makes her feel at home.”
It comes after Kai was not paired with a celebrity partner on last year’s series, admitting: “It’s never nice.”
