The first three celebrities taking part in the Strictly Come Dancing Live UK Tour 2025 have been revealed - who could they be?

The trio will be joined by the Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and for the first time on the tour, Motsi Mabuse. 

Plus, It Takes Two’s Janette Manrara returns to host the tour once again.

The Strictly Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the TV series, showcasing the choreography and live music that Strictly is synonymous with – providing audiences of all ages up and down the country the opportunity to experience everything they love about the TV show live on stage in their hometown or city.

Arena audiences are also granted the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show.

The tour judges will of course provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance but the ultimate power lies with the audience. A text for their favourite couple is all it takes - their votes will decide who wins.

Tickets are on sale now from StrictlyComeDancingLive.com.
