Strictly live tour 2023 announces more celebrities - here's how to get your tickets

And Janette is back to host again!

It's been confirmed that Molly Rainford and Hamza Yassin will be quickstepping, jiving and salsa-ing their way across some rather large dance floors in the New Year.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the Strictly Live Tour," said Molly. "Performing for the huge arena crowds across the UK is going to be an incredible experience.

"I'm really looking forward to continuing my amazing Strictly journey and getting out on the road to meet all the fans."

Hamza added: " Strictly has changed my life in ways I never imagined, so to be doing the tour on top of it all is a dream come true!

"I've heard the tour audiences are unparalleled, so I'll be relishing the atmosphere every night, and I'm so excited to share that experience with my fellow dancers – not to mention the judges."

They will be joining Will Mellor , Ellie Simmonds and Tyler West , with more celebrities to be announced in the coming weeks. We don't yet know if the celebrities will be dancing with the same professional partners as on the TV series.

Speaking of his delight at returning to the glitz and glamour, Mellor said: " Strictly has been one of the most memorable and emotional journeys I've ever been on! Stepping out of my comfort zone and being a part of this massive show is something I'll never forget.

"I can't wait to put on my dancing shoes and go around the country to perform on huge stages in front of thousands of people who have watched and supported us. Bring on the tour!!"

Simmonds was just as excited, stating: " Strictly was such an incredible life-changing and emotional experience for me – it gave me a huge confidence boost and the feeling that anything is possible!

"So to be able to continue my journey on the tour next year is going to be amazing. I can't wait!"

"I never realised how much dance would change my life but I can't express how much I've loved it and fully embraced this opportunity to learn to dance with the best dance partner anyone could ask for in Dianne," West said of the tour.

"I am so happy my Strictly journey isn't over quite yet and I can't wait to relive some of our favourite dances and live like a popstar on tour performing for audiences each night! I am buzzing to get on the road with the gang."

The new tour also comes with a new judging lineup. Having recently been made a permanent judge on the TV series after previously filling in for Bruno Tonioli , Anton du Beke will also succeed Bruno on the arena tour panel, joining Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood, who directs the live shows once again.

"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," said Anton.

And after compering the nationwide tour earlier this year , former Strictly pro and current It Takes Two co-presenter Janette Manrara will be your host once again in 2023.

Janette has teased the new tour in a promo video, promising appearances from "your favourite couples, doing your favourite routines that you've seen from throughout the series".

"I'm so excited to be returning to host the 2023 Strictly Live Tour !" Janette added. "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."

Once again, while the judges will provide critique and scores for each routine, audiences at each show have the power to choose who will win that show's Glitterball Trophy by texting in.

Each performance on the tour will also feature a British Sign Language interpreter, who will appear on two large screens placed on either side of the stage.

Tickets for the Strictly Come Dancing live arena tour are available via Ticketmaster now, with prices ranging from £35 to £95. There will be slight differences in pricing tiers between each individual venue.

The tour will be made up of 31 shows across 9 different arenas in January and February, with afternoon and evening shows offered at all venues except Leeds, which hosts two evening performances. Meanwhile, Sheffield will host two shows in one day.

Two more celebrities have been announced to join the scintillating line-up for next year’s hotly-anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour: singer, actor and presenter Molly Rainford and wildlife cameraman and Countryfile presenter Hamza Yassin.

They will join previously announced Will Mellor, Ellie Simmonds and Tyler West for 32 sparkle-filled shows kicking off in January.

Molly Rainford said: “I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the Strictly Live Tour, performing for the huge arena crowds across the UK is going to be an incredible experience. I’m really looking forward to continuing my amazing Strictly journey and getting out on the road to meet all the fans."

Hamza Yassin said: “Strictly has changed my life in ways I never imagined, so to be doing the tour on top of it all is a dream come true! I’ve heard the tour audiences are unparalleled, so I’ll be relishing the atmosphere every night, and I’m so excited to share that experience with my fellow dancers – not to mention the judges.”

The celebrities and professionals will be joined on the road by Strictly TV judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke – who is part of the tour for the first time – with the sensational Janette Manrara as host.

Opening at the Utilita Arena Birmingham on 20 January, the tour will then waltz around the UK to some of the biggest entertainment venues: Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena, Leeds’ First Direct Arena, the AO Arena Manchester, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, London’s O2 Arena, the SSE Arena Belfast, before culminating at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on 12 February.

The Strictly Live Tour showcases all the breathtaking choreography, stunningly sparkly costumes and fantastic live music synonymous with BBC One’s long-running and hugely loved Strictly Come Dancing TV show – which is currently on our screens, with the final due to take place on 17 December.

The 2023 tour will be directed once again by the A-MAZ-ING Strictly TV Judge 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 - a great way to celebrate the 20th series of this entertainment phenomenon.

Audiences around the UK can experience everything they love about the TV show live on stage, getting the chance to not only watch the spectacular stars in action as they perform roof-raising routines, but also the power to decide who wins the Gliderball Trophy at the end of each show. The tour judges will provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance, but the audience vote via text for their favourite couple, and it is ultimately their votes which decide who wins!

Tyler West, whose time on the TV series came to an end in the Blackpool special said: “I never realized how much dance would change my life but I can’t express how much I’ve loved it and fully embraced this opportunity to learn to dance with the best dance partner anyone could ask for in Dianne! I am so happy my Strictly journey isn't over quite yet and I can’t wait to relive some of our favorite dances and live like a pop star on tour performing for audiences each night! I am buzzing to get on the road with the gang.”
