I can’t wait for the tour to start in January – if Blackpool was anything to go by, being able to perform in big arenas in front of thousands of people really is going to be FAB U LOUS! I’m going to make sure I put everything I have into each and every performance, so I need all the Strictly fans to come down and cheer me on!”
Caroline Flack also commented: “My Strictly experience so far has been amazing. I’m enjoying every minute of the TV show and doing the tour lets me carry on dancing a little bit longer. I hope that those who have been so lovely and supported me each week will come along to see the show. Dancing for people who took time to vote for me will be an honour.”
Strictly fans watch the celebrity dancing couples competing live for the judges’ votes and then get to vote themselves with their mobile phones.
