Strictly Come Dancing

TV personality, broadcaster and author Dani Dyer and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin, and highly decorated Team GB skeleton athlete Tabby Stoecker and dance partner Mark Karmalita are the first couples announced for the highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.

They will don their dancing shoes in January and February, taking to the road to dazzle arena audiences up and down the country and banish those winter blues. Further casting announcements will be made soon.

The Strictly Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the smash-hit BBC 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.

The couples will be joined on the tour by the Strictly Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, while Janette Manrara returns to host the tour for the sixth time.

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!

Confirmed Couples: Dani Dyer & Nikita Kuzmin, Tabby Stoecker & Mark Karmalita.
