Last year's winner Stacey Dooley will host the shows!
Last updated 3rd Dec 2019
With this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing nearing its end, bosses revealed last month which celebrities from the show will be taking part in the 2020 arena tour, which will visit various venues across the UK and Ireland.
The tour, which will include 33 shows across January and February, will see judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli return to judge the seven celebrities lined-up, with last year's champion Stacey Dooley hosting the shows.
And show bosses have today (3rd Dec) announced which professional dancers will be joining the celebrities on tour, revealing the pairs for the dates between January and February.
Check out the full celebrity line-up for the Strictly Come Dancing tour below:
Saffron Barker
Saffron will be paired once again with AJ Pritchard!
Saffron said, "I absolutely love the glitz and the glamour of Strictly and feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity. It's been incredible, so what better way to see in the New Year than in a glittery costume, on tour, dancing for all the fans. Bring it on!"
Emma Barton
Emma is paired with Graziano Di Prima.
Emma said, "I've heard so many amazing things about the live tour from my friends who've done it before. As a performer, nothing compares to being in the moment and actually going out and performing in front of a live audience. I can't wait to do it all over again on tour!"
Mike Bushell
Mike is once again paired up with Katya Jones.
Mike said, "I'm so thrilled to be asked to go on the Strictly tour. I've loved my journey on the TV show and have lost a stone and a half in weight - that shows how good dancing is for you. I think I've shown that even a non-dancing dad in his 50's can learn some moves and hopefully I can inspire people in venues across the country too."
Kelvin Fletcher
Kelvin will be taking to the stage with Janette Manrara.
Kelvin said, "The Strictly experience is really like no other - the training and work that goes into it is immense. I feel like I've really pushed myself, but it's completely worth it. I'm very much looking forward to continuing this adventure on tour next year!"
Alex Scott
Alex is once again paired up with Neil Jones.
Alex said, "I'm really excited for next year's tour - I hope I'll get the chance to perform some of my favourite routines again. Strictly has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I'm thrilled that I'll get to dance for everyone who has voted for me on the TV series."
Catherine Tyldesley
Catherine will be reunited with Johannes Radebe.
Catherine said, "I'm so delighted to be continuing my Strictly journey on the live tour. I have absolutely fallen in love with dancing, so I can't wait to get back on that dance floor and perform for the Strictly fans once more. Roll on January!"
Karim Zeroual
Karim will be taking to the floor once again with Amy Dowden.
Karim said, "Dancing every week is such a buzz and I really love it. Performing live in some of the biggest arenas and meeting all the people who have supported me along the way is going to be an amazing and unforgettable experience."
