- Phil Hewitt

Strictly Come Dancing profession­al Neil Jones heads out on Gingerland, his first-ever UK tour, in 2021, with dates including Horsham. He will be performing at The Capitol on Thursday, March 18 at 7.30pm, with tickets available now on www. thecapitol­horsham.com or 01403 750220. Spokesman Lizzie Irving said: “After making his directoria­l and choreograp­hic debut at Sadler’s Wells, London, in 2019, BBC Strictly Come Dancing profession­al Neil Jones will be touring the

UK for the very first time in 2021. Away from the Strictly dance floor, Neil will demonstrat­e to you the real reason he has so many ballroom and Latin Championsh­ip titles to his name, 45 in fact, including three-time world and eighttime British champion. “Join Neil as he goes from the back of Claudia’s area to starring in his very own dance show like you have never seen before – comedy, special effects and a lot of outstandin­g dancing! “Jones, who has danced with Judy Murray and Anita Rani on the Strictly Christmas specials and regularly appears on It Takes Two sometimes as his alter ego Nell de Jaunse, has been part of Strictly

Come Dancing since joining in 2016. In 2019, for series 17 of the show, Neil was paired with a celebrity for the first time on the main show. Partnered with footballer and pundit Alex Scott, they progressed to week 11, coming fifth in the competitio­n. “It has recently been announced that Neil will return to the show for series 18, and he is excited to help a new celebrity experience the joy of dance. “On the Gingerland 2021 Tour, Neil will take you on a journey showcasing what made him unique within the dancing world and introduce you to the very people who influenced him as a dancer. It just so happens that they were all ginger!”
