Fleur East said: “As a huge Strictly fan, being part of the TV competition has been an unbelievable experience and I’m absolutely over the moon to have the chance to get back into those fabulous sequinned outfits for the live tour!”

Helen Skelton said: “Strictly has been the adventure of a lifetime and I'm so happy that it will continue on the live tour. I’m really looking forward to seeing the fans across the country and performing my favourite dances from the series. I can't wait!"The couples will be joined on tour by six professional dancers - Amy Dowden, Neil Jones, Robbie Kmetoni, Jake Leigh, Luba Mushtuk and Michelle Tsiakkas - bringing with them even more glitz and glamour to this live show.

The tour judges will provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance, but the audience vote via text for their favourite couple, and it is ultimately their votes which decide who wins!The Strictly Live Tour, directed once again by Craig Revel Horwood, showcases breathtaking choreography, stunningly sparkly costumes and fantastic live music played by the Strictly Live Band.
