THE Strictly Come Dancing UK Arena Tour is waltzing back to Liverpool next year for two supersized sequin-filled shows. Strictly favourite and 2017 winner Ore Oduba will be hosting the tour for a second time with TV judge Craig Revel Horwood also returning to direct the production.

The stage show will feature many of the celebrities and professional dancers from the highly anticipated 16th series of the award-winning BBC One show with further casting announcements due in the coming months.

Ore Oduba said: "Goes without saying, I’m so excited to be back hosting the tour again.

"As many people know, Strictly means a lot to me so to be back with the gang well, let’s just say it didn’t take long for me to say yes.

"I had the best time hosting the 2018 tour, the Strictly fans were as loud and excitable as ever. And I’m sure 2019 will be no different, we’ve got a sensational show planned. And yes - when we hit the road in January – I will be packing my dancing shoes."

The Strictly tour comes to Liverpool Arena on January 29 with VIP packages available. Tickets go on sale on Friday at 8am. Visit echoarena.com/strictly
