The first three celebrity contestants to appear on the 2024 Strictly Come Dancing: The Live Tour have been announced.
Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach, broadcasting legend Angela Rippon, and television and musical theatre star Layton Williams will appear at arenas across the UK early next year. The shows will also feature host Janette Manrara, plus the judging panel of Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Bek.
Further names will be announced soon, with the tour set to open at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on January 19. Speaking about the show, Leach said:
"I said before that appearing on Strictly was a dream come true and now, I will get to be on the tour as well! I can’t wait for January to experience it all over again – it’s going to be a blast!"
Rippon commented: "Having really challenged myself on the TV show over the last seven weeks, it's going to be wonderful to continue the Strictly magic on the tour next year. From hosting Come Dancing to performing for over 10,000 people at The O2 – I really will have completed the ultimate Strictly journey!"
Williams added: "The Strictly tour means more sequins - lots and lots of sequins! I couldn't think of a better way to end this fab experience. I cant wait to dance in arenas across the country and meet all the fans that have supported my journey."
Other stops on the trek include Sheffield's Utilita Arena, Newcastle's Utilita Arena, Glasgow's OVO Hydro, Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, Leeds' First Direct Arena, Manchester's AO Arena, Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena and the O2 Arena in London. Tickets are on sale now.
