Theywill take to the dance floor to recreate their dazzling moves and compete for votes from the judges. Arena audiences will also be able to text vote for their favourite stars via their mobile phones and ultimately decide who wins the prized Glitterball Trophy at each performance.

On announcing her place on the tour, Frankie Bridge says: “My Strictly journey has only just begun and I’m loving every moment. I’m really excited to be a part of the 2015 tour. It will be a bit strange performing in arenas without my band mates, but I can’t wait to see all the Strictly fans who have supported me throughout the TV series and get my dancing shoes on again.”

Thom Evans says: “It’s sad to be out of the TV Show as I don’t think I got the chance to show my full potential, but I’m really excited to be invited to perform on the Strictly tour and can’t wait to get back on the dance floor! I’m told that performing in the arenas is completely different to the TV studio, so this will be a chance to really let loose and have some fun out there. Roll on January!”

Zoe Ball says: “Strictly has a very special place in my heart, so I’m delighted to be hosting the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour again. This year’s TV series has been thrilling to watch so far, with a fantastic line-up of celebrities. I’m really looking forward to seeing who else will be joining me on tour, as we‎ visit arenas across the country. It’s great to give fans the chance to see their favourite stars performing their most popular dance routines up close and personal. We can promise a fab-u-lous evening of entertainment and sequins that the whole family will enjoy.”
