Strictly Come Dancing waltzes into town

Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour 2016

January 26 and 27

Sheffield Arena

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans will be head over heels with joy to hear the live tour is hot footing its way to Sheffield once again.

Strictly favourites old and new will be taking part in the live tour including, actress Georgia May Foote, chef Ainsley Harriott and TV presenter Anita Rani.

Frankie Bridge from The Saturdays is also pleased to be taking part this year as she was forced to pull out of last season’s live tour due to morning sickness.

Great British Bake Off presenter, and self-confessed Strictly obsessive, Mel Giedroyc will host the 2016 tour for the second year.

Judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood – who also directs the tour – will also feature in the 30 date live extravaganza. 

They will be reunited with more celebrities and professional dancers from this year’s BBC One TV series, who will take to the dance floor to recreate their dazzling moves and compete for votes from the judges. 

Head Judge Len said: “It’s going to be great to be back on the tour watching some of the best dancers from the TV series out on the road.”

Bruno said: “It’s going to be fantastico! Who would believe that we’re on to our thirteenth series of Strictly and our ninth live UK tour? 

“I can’t wait to see all those beautiful people in the arenas and all the passion on the dance floor.”

Craig added: “I am very pleased to have my fellow amigos Len and Bruno back on tour with me! 

“I’m extremely excited to be directing the show again and have lots of new surprises up my sleeve. 

“It’s going to be another fab-u-lous extravaganza for the whole family to enjoy.”

As with the television show, the judges will provide their wisdom, advice and scores at each performance. 

But not only are the celebrities and their dance partners competing for the judges’ scores, they will also be battling to win votes from the arena audiences, who can text vote via their mobile phones and decide who wins the Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show.
