Italian Latin Champion Graziano Di Prima will also be there, along with the Chinese National Dance Champion and 2022 finalist Carlos Gu.

Directed by Strictly’s Creative Director Jason Gilkison, the Strictly Come Dancing The Professionals UK Tour will showcase the talent of the immensely popular professional dancers from the TV show which celebrates its 21st series this year. Spectators can expect memorable dance numbers, extravagant costumes, sequins, sparkles and all the feel-good Strictly magic we’ve grown accustomed to over the years, all accompanied by a live soundtrack.
Jason Gilkison said: “The 2023 Tour was spectacular; we really pushed the boundaries with the choreography and as a result the show was phenomenal! We want to push that even further for 2024, with more dancers than ever before! Audiences will be blown away by the skills of our Pros, as individuals and as a breathtaking ensemble. The entertainment factor will be off the scale. I can’t wait, to see you in May!”
