Leeds First Direct Arena, Friday January 24 at 7.30pm

Strictly Come Dancing fans will be overjoyed to hear that the professional dancers joining the celebrities for next year’s Strictly Come Dancing UK Arena Tour are on their way.

The full line up of the glamorous couples set to sashay on to the Leeds First

Direct Arena are social media sensation Saffron Barker and AJ Pritchard, EastEnders actress Emma Barton and Graziano Di Prima, BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell and Katya Jones, actor Kelvin Fletcher and Janette Manrara, Sky Sports presenter Alex Scott and

Neil Jones, actress Catherine Tyldesley and Johannes Radebe, CBBC presenter Karim Zeroual and Amy

The sparkling line-up of celebrities and professional dancers will join new tour host and reigning Strictly champion Stacey Dooley, and the tour judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, who also directs the tour, and Bruno Tonioli as they dance in the biggest entertainment venues across the UK.

To add even more sparkle professional dancers Luba Mushtuk, Karen Hauer, Dianne Buswell, Joshua Keefe, Jake Leigh and Robbie Kmetoni will also be performing.

The tour will feature music from the Strictly singers and the Strictly live band.

Former Emmerdale actor and professional racing driver Kelvin Fletcher won the competition this year with his professional partner Oti Mabuse – who is not on the tour as she is one of the judges on BBC 1’s The Greatest Dancer on Saturday evenings.
