Tickets go on sale for Strictly Come Dancing - The Professionals tour

Dancers from the BBC’s hit show including reigning champion Katya Jones, semi-finalist AJ Pritchard and two-time finalist Giovanni Pernice will show off their moves in the 35-date nationwide tour, which kicks off in May next year.

Now in its 16th series, the stage show will visit cities including Salford, London and Liverpool before finishing in Sunderland next June.

Organisers say audiences can enjoy “stunningly choreographed ballroom and Latin routines in exquisite costumes, with all the glitz, glamour, sequins and sparkle of the TV show - live on stage.”

The new series of Strictly Come Dancing will kick off on Saturday on BBC One.
