The exciting DJ, from Pembrokeshire, Wales, was in Zante with his friends ahead of a major club gig in the holiday hotspot.
His friend escaped the crash with minor injuries but Kai was rushed to hospital.
Doctors found a bleed on the brain and he was placed in an induced coma.
Kai's devastated girlfriend Kya Gillane-Heywood has described the moment she saw her boyfriend in the hospital bed as "horrible".
She told the Mirror: "It is horrible.

"I don't know how to describe it."

Iconic TV and film characters could soon feature on banknotes under plans to promote best of British culture
Find out how you can make recommendations this month on what themes should be represented BANK ON IT Iconic TV and film characters could soon feature on banknotes under plans to promote best of British culture Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHARACTERS such as Harry Potter and Paddington Bear could feature on banknotes under plans to promote the best of British culture. Bank of England bosses say themes could include images from the arts, such as film, television, music, and sport. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The criteria could also pave the way for England World Cup winner Bobby Moore or Beatles legend John Lennon to feature on the next series of notes. 1 Characters such as Harry Potter and Paddington Bear could feature on banknotes Banknotes have used historical figures since 1970 when William Shakespeare became the first person other than a monarch to be used on one. Today the Bank launches a public consultation on what themes should be represented. Others include historical figures, nature, architecture and landmarks, innovation, and noteworthy milestones. The Bank of England's chief cashier Victoria Cleland said: 'Banknotes are more than just an important means of payment, they serve as a symbolic representation of our collective national identity and an opportunity to celebrate the UK. "I'm really keen to hear what themes the public would like to see represented on the next notes.' The public can make recommendations this month on an online form on the Bank's website, or by post. She said protected characteristics such as disability and ethnicity could be represented. Previous campaigns have called for black or ethnic minority figures to appear. The figures on the current Series G banknotes are Sir Winston Churchill on the £5, author Jane Austen on the tenner, artist JMW Turner on the £20 and Second World War codebreaker Alan Turing is on the £50.

Louis Theroux 'turned down by iconic girl band' for new BBC documentary
Following the success of Louis Theroux's series called Boybands Forever, the journalist is planning a girl group version, but one iconic group has reportedly shunned his approach Louis Theroux is used to interviewing the best in the business. However, one band has reportedly shunned his advances to tell their story. The popular journalist is creating a new bombshell BBC documentary on girlbands following on from last year's successful production of Boybands Forever. It's thought Louis had seen the iconic band as being instrumental in any production. However, a TV insider has claimed that the quintet - made up of Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie C, Melanie Brown MBE and Geri Horner - aren't prepared to bare all just yet. While last year's boyband version saw Robbie Williams open up on his turbulent time in Take That, the source says the Girl Power group aren't looking to follow suit. Talking to the Sun, a source said: "The difference is that the Spice Girls are fast approaching 30 years since the release of their debut single Wannabe and have a string of projects in the pipeline. "Many of the issues that Robbie brought up on Boybands Forever were wholly justifiable, and most viewers sympathised with his situation when he was in Take That. 'But none of the Spice Girls want to do the same, and they feel it wouldn't be fair on their loyal fans to spoil the magic of Girl Power so close to their anniversary year. They want 2026 to be a moment when they celebrate the group's achievements.' While the Spice Girls are reportedly steering clear of the offering, other groups from the era are expected to feature. With it thought chats will be conducted face to face, members of groups such as Eternal, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud, Sugababes and All Saints are rumoured to be taking part. Boybands Forever, which was released at the back end of last year, was a series that focused on boybands of the 90s and early 2000s. Among those who featured, as well as Robbie Williams, was Simon Cowell. Prior to its release, Louis said of the series: "It involves some of the icons of modern British pop - and we see them through their highs and lows." He added: "It's how they came together, the experience of sudden fame, the opportunity and temptations that came their way, conflicts within the groups, between the groups, and between the boys and their managers. "It's a gripping fable about getting everything you dreamed of, and it not being what you imagined, centred on a generation of young men, and their managers, who were wildly successful and also immensely vulnerable, having the times of their lives and also in some cases cracking up."

Rebel Fred Perry became UK exile and served in US Air Force in WWII after he was ostracised by Wimbledon snobs
FREDEMPTION Rebel Fred Perry became UK exile and served in US Air Force in WWII after he was ostracised by Wimbledon snobs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDY MURRAY will soon become only the second person to be honoured with a statue at the All England Club. And having ended a 77-year wait for a British men's singles champion at Wimbledon, few would argue against Murray deserving the bronze likeness which will be unveiled at the 2027 Championships.

As the first man to complete a career Grand Slam, a three-time Wimbledon champion, a winner of eight Majors and four Davis Cups, you'd imagine that Perry was feted and honoured by the tennis authorities and the British establishment while at the peak of his powers in the 1930s. Especially as he had been a world champion at table tennis, as well as the undisputed king of the lawns. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. READ MORE ON WIMBLEDON Wimbledon 2025 Djokovic in tough battle NOW, Gauff and Zverev CRASH OUT, Draper THROUGH Not only was Perry a working-class man from Stockport and the son of a Labour MP, he was also a fashionista, a lothario, a heart-throb, a rebel and, ultimately, an exile. He dated Hollywood sirens, including Marlene Dietrich and Jean Harlow, he married four times and, after emigrating and taking American citizenship, Perry served in the US Air Force during World War Two. In an age of intense class-based snobbery and of strict amateurism in tennis, the elitist plum-suckers in the Wimbledon boardroom decided that Perry was a lad from the wrong side of the chalk lines. When he turned professional in 1937, Perry was stripped of his All England Club membership, went on lengthy world tours and settled in the States - where he felt far more accepted than in stuffy pre-war Britain. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The first of Murray's two Wimbledon triumphs in 2013 ended a wait for a British men's singles champion which had stretched back to Perry's hat-trick of successes between 1934 and 1936. And while the Scot was something of an outsider and an anti-establishment figure - especially in his early days - he competed in far more enlightened times than Perry, who was the victim of overt discrimination from the authorities. Sue Barker returns to Wimbledon in new role a year after legendary BBC presenter's emotional Andy Murray interview As well as his working-class northern roots, Perry was also frowned upon because he was simply too competitive, occasionally even showing dissent towards umpires - which was unheard of in the 30s. He was extremely fast across the court and, unlike many of his competitors, was supremely fit - often training with the dominant Arsenal team of the 1930s to develop his sharpness. But after a comprehensive victory over Australian Jack Crawford to win his first Wimbledon title - celebrated with a Centre Court cartwheel and a leap over the net - Perry suffered one of his most memorable instances of All England Club snobbery. While soaking in a bath after coming off court, Perry claims he heard upper-crust committee member Brame Hillyard tell runner-up Crawford that "this was one day when the best man didn't win". Hillyard then draped Perry's Wimbledon tie - symbolising his membership of the All England Club - over a seat rather than presenting it to the champion in person. Perry later wrote in his autobiography: 'I don't think I've ever been so angry in my life. Instead of Fred J Perry the champ, I felt like Fred J Muggs the chimp. 'Some elements in the All England Club and the Lawn Tennis Association looked down on me as a hot-headed, outspoken tearaway rebel, not quite the class of chap they really wanted to see winning Wimbledon, even if he was English.' 11 Perry was a fashion star as well as a sporting hero Credit: Alamy 11 He went out with Marlene Dietrich Credit: Rex 11 Perry's first marriage, with American film star Helen Vinson, lasted five years Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd 11 Andy Murray will follow in Perry's footsteps with a statue at the All England Club Credit: Getty Images - Getty And Perry certainly wasn't the only British sporting great of his era to become ostracised by snobbish attitudes. Harold Larwood, the great England fast bowler and hero of the Bodyline triumph over Don Bradman's Aussies in 1932-33, became a scapegoat for the diplomatic crisis sparked by the ruthless tactics of his upper-class captain Douglas Jardine. Larwood, a former Nottinghamshire coal miner, would never play for England again and ended up emigrating to, of all places, Australia. Perry, who inspired Great Britain to four consecutive Davis Cup triumphs, was far more popular with the public than his sport's top brass - and not least with women, who loved his fashion sense, including his on-court penchant for tailored white flannels and blazers. He would, of course, go on to make millions from his Fred Perry fashion range - with its laurel wreath logo - which is still thriving to this day. As for the ladies, Perry would marry four of them - including the Hollywood actress Helen Vinson and the model Sandra Breaux - before he settled down with Barbara Riese, the couple having two children and enjoying a 40-year marriage until Perry's death in 1995, aged 85. He was finally accepted back into the fold at Wimbledon during the last 25 years of his life, broadcasting for the BBC before his statue was unveiled in 1982 - to Perry's intense pride. 'I never thought I'd live to see the day when a statue was put up to the son of a Labour MP inside the manicured grounds of Wimbledon,' he wrote in his memoirs. 'There will be a few former members of the All England Club and the LTA revolving in their graves at the thought of such a tribute paid to the man they regarded as a rebel from the wrong side of the tennis tramlines.' Murray, who often felt his Scottishness was held against him during his early days at Wimbledon, never really knew the half of it. 11 His name lives on as the clothing brand Credit: Getty 11 He was briefly married to Sandra Breaux Credit: AP:Associated Press 11 The Stockport native was also a world champion at table tennis Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd
