The full line-up of celebrities for next year’s highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour is announced today: actor Jamie Borthwick; broadcaster, presenter and opera singer Wynne Evans; singer, TV presenter and author JB Gill; and model and TV personality Tasha Ghouri will hit the road in January.

This FAB-U-LOUS foursome will be joining the previously announced Gladiator and Olympian Montell Douglas; actress Sarah Hadland; and actor and singer Shayne Ward. All seven celebrities, are part of the current BBC smash hit Saturday and Sunday night show and will don their dancing shoes to dazzle arena audiences up and down the UK with all the glitz and glamour of this supersized live tour.

And not forgetting the legendary Strictly Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and for the first time ever on the tour, Motsi Mabuse. Plus, from It Takes Two, the sensational Janette Manrara who returns to host the tour once again.

The Strictly Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the TV series, showcasing the amazing choreography and fantastic live music that Strictly is synonymous with – providing audiences of all ages up and down the country the opportunity to experience everything they love about the TV show live on stage in their hometown or city.

Not only are the arena audiences treated to the spectacular roof-raising routines, but they are also granted the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show. The tour judges will of course provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance - we couldn’t stop them if we tried - but the ultimate power lies with the audience. A text for their favourite couple is all it takes; their votes will decide who wins!

As with last year’s tour, each performance will host a British Sign Language interpreter, who will be displayed on two very large screens on either side of the stage so that audiences can book tickets and sit almost anywhere in the arena to enjoy the experience with family and friends.

Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour takes place at Utilita Arena Birmingham from 17-19 January. Tickets are on sale at strictlycomedancinglive.com
