Strictly Come Dancing - The Live Tour

Celebrating 10 FAB-U-LOUS years, the Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour extravaganza is back on the road in January / February 2017 for 30 spectacular super-sized shows across the country!

The final line-up for the 2017 Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour is announced and the pairings are:
Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton;
Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse;
Ore Oduba and Karen Clifton;
Ed Balls and Katya Jones;
Daisy Lowe and Aljaž Skorjanec;
Lesley Joseph and Gorka Marquez.

Completing the line-up for group numbers and professional dances are six of this series’ fabulous professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Janette Manrara, AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt, Oksana Platero and Neil Jones.

This year's tour will star TV Judges Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood. They will be joined on the judging panel by former Strictly professional dancer and winner of the 2006 series, Karen Hardy. The tour will also feature a brand new host, Countryfile's Anita Rani, who was a semi-finalist in the 2015 series and a contestant on this year’s live tour.

Craig Revel Horwood will direct the tour for the seventh year, creating all of the showbiz sparkle, breathtaking choreography and incredible live music that Strictly is famous for - audiences can experience everything that they love about the TV show live on stage.

Head Judge Len Goodman said: 'The live tour always has such a great atmosphere and the 10th anniversary tour will definitely be one to remember, especially as this will come as I complete my final year on the TV series as Head Judge. Rest assured audiences, this tour will be a ten from Len!'

The judges will provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance on tour. 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 ultimately have the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show.

The tour has received rave reviews since it began in 2008 and this year's live shows were no exception. The Sunday Telegraph heaped praise on the production and gave it a 5 star review, saying: 'the Strictly juggernaut shows no sign of slowing down'. The Mail On Sunday and Metro agreed, both awarding glowing 4 star reviews. The Mail On Sunday said: 'the overall standard of dancing was the highest I can recall'.
