The judges are there to critique and provide their opinions on each dance routine, but it will be the audience who can vote using their mobile phones to decide the winner.

Revel Horwood, who directs the tour, said: “This fabulous live tour is great fun for all of us and gives audiences the chance to see our spectacular cast of celebrities and professional dancers in a whole new way.

“Dust off your dancing shoes darlings, it is not to be missed.”

Head judge Ballas added: “I just love the Strictly tour and all the banter that I have with Anton and Craig.

“It’s the best way to start the year and I can’t wait to see our incredible fans all over the country.”

Tickets go on sale at 9.00am on September 25 from StrictlyComeDancingLive.com.
