Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour and show stars heading to Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena in January 2023

This year’s series is just warming up, but plans are already being made for Strictly Come Dancing to hit the road with its live tour.

The stars, celebrities and judges will be taking to the dance floor at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena for three shows on January 24-25.

Hosted by former Strictly dancer Janette Manrara, the dancing couples will be judged by Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood.

The show will feature many of the celebrities and professional dancers from the current series of the multi-award-winning BBC One show, together with the Strictly Live Band, making it a great way to celebrate the 20th series of this entertainment phenomenon.

The couples have yet to be confirmed.

Judge Anton Du Beke said: “I’m so excited to join my fellow TV judges on the Strictly 2023 tour and have the chance to enjoy all the fun of the live experience with audiences around the UK.”

Head judge Shirley Ballas said: “I’m delighted to be returning to the judging panel, and it will be lovely to have Anton with us. It’s always so much fun! The audiences at the arena shows are phenomenal and it’s so nice to get to see everyone and perform for you all – I can’t wait for January when we get the show on the road!”

And Craig Revel Horwood said: “I’m thrilled to be back directing and judging the 2023 tour. This tour is going to be bigger and better than ever before – my imagination is running wild!

“With Anton joining the judging panel, one word, three syllables: FAB-U-LOUS!”

The live show showcases all the choreography and live music that viewers see on the hit television show.

Janette Manrara said: “I’m so excited to be returning to host the 2023 Strictly Live Tour! It is the most incredible experience to be part of this epic production, bringing all we love about the TV series to hundreds of thousands of people around the UK.”

Arena audiences can not only watch the stars in action, but they are also granted the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy.

The tour judges will provide their wisdom and scores, but the audience vote via text for their favourite couple, and it is ultimately their votes that will decide who wins.
