Following the captivating Saturday night Strictly final on BBC One, the full line-up of
celebrities and professional dancers for next year’s highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing
Live UK Tour are announced today.

The 30 sparkle-filled shows, which kick off in January 2025, feature seven FAB-U-LOUS
couples: Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas; Montell Douglas and Kai Widdrington;
Wynne Evans and Katya Jones; Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec; JB Gill, Amy Dowden and
Lauren Oakley; Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola; Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu.

They will be joined on tour by more magnificent professional dancers: Dianne Buswell,
Karen Hauer, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Jowita Przystal plus Robbie Kmetoni and Jake Leigh,
adding to the glitz and the glamour of this supersized live tour.

Not forgetting the legendary Strictly TV judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel
Horwood and joining the tour for the first time, Motsi Mabuse. The cast will be completed
with the sensational tour host, BBC Two’s Strictly – It Takes Two’s Janette Manrara.

Janette Manrara said: “Wow – what an incredible line-up of couples we have on the tour
next year! Arena audiences around the country are in for a real treat. It’s going to be a blast
to be back with all the pros and, as an extra special treat, it will be a joy to welcome back
the lovely Amy Dowden. Get ready for an evening of pure Strictly entertainment for the
whole family – bigger and better than ever before!”

The 2025 tour opens at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 17 January, then the glitz, the
glamour and the sequins – together with the all-important celebrity contestants and their
professional dance partners – will travel to some of the UK’s biggest entertainment venues
leaving a trail of glitter in their wake: Utilita Arena Sheffield, Utilita Arena Newcastle, OVO
Hydro Glasgow, M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, First Direct Arena Leeds, AO Arena Manchester,
Motorpoint Arena Nottingham and finally The O2 in London, culminating on 9 February.
Strictly’s 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!

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 is produced by Stage Entertainment UK and Phil
McIntyre Live, with BBC Studios.
