Stacey Dooley is set to host the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ live tour.
The 32-year-old broadcaster triumphed in last year’s series of the BBC Latin and ballroom competition as she won the glitterball trophy alongside pro – and now-boyfriend – Kevin Clifton, and she’s thrilled to be returning for the upcoming arena shows.
She said: "I’m so excited to be joining the Strictly gang again and can’t wait to experience it from a different perspective!
"I’m really looking forward to hosting the tour as I know it’ll be a blast. I had such an amazing time last year, I hope I’ll find a way to get those dancing shoes back on again too!"
Kevin said the announcement was "so awesome", as Stacey took to social media to share her joy at the announcement as she looks to follow in the footsteps of previous host Ore Oduba.
She tweeted: "HELLA EXCITED RE TOUR… Ore is a total gent and a tough act to follow but I’ll do my abso best, I PROMISE… So made up….SEE YOU THERE GANG (sic)"
The 2020 live tour kicks off with four nights in Birmingham from January 16, before moving onto Aberdeen for two nights (21 and 22), followed by a performance in Leeds on January 24.
The show then rolls into Manchester for the next two nights, with a night in Dublin (28) and two nights in Belfast (29 and 30) coming next before Glasgow (February 1 and 2) and Nottingham (4 and 5).
The tour comes to an end with three London shows from February 7.
