To celebrate 10 years of the popular BBC show, dancing divas will take to the stage at the Hydro in January joined by TV judges Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood.

Len Goodman will also continue as a judge on the tour despite announcing the current TV series will be his last.

It has also been suggested that Karen Hardy, a former professional dancer on the show, could be a strong contender for the judging panel vacancy.

The tour, which will be hosted by 2015 semi-finalist and Countryfile presenter Anita Rani, will feature many celebrities from the highly-anticipated 14th series of the show, which will air on BBC One later this month. “Rest assured audiences, this tour will be a 10 from Len!”

We’re getting giddy with excitement over the impending start of Strictly Come Dancing, but until then we’ve got some big news about the brand to keep us going. “I can’t wait to get started!”

She said: “I had such a great experience on the series and the tour, that I jumped at the opportunity to come back and host the tour. We’ll be pulling out all the stops to make sure that this anniversary tour is the best yet!”

Craig Revel Horwood, who also directs the production, will be a judge along side Len and guest judge Karen Hardy.

The 30-show tour will open in Birmingham on 20 January.

The tour has received rave reviews since it began in 2008 and this year’s live shows were no exception.
