The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour is set to dazzle audiences once again in January and February 2027, with Janette Manrara confirmed to reprise her role as the tour host. This annual event brings celebrities and professional dancers across the UK for a night of glitz and glamour following the main television series.
Fans will be thrilled to see Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke return as the judging panel, ensuring the high standards Strictly is known for. Janette Manrara, who was previously the host, will once again keep the energy high throughout the evening.
Manrara, a fixture of Strictly Come Dancing for nearly 14 years, transitioned from professional dancer to presenter of the companion series, It Takes Two, for five years. Despite auditioning for a principal presenter role on the main show, that opportunity went to others. She recently shared on This Morning that missing out was tough but believes life offers new paths, including her current acting pursuits.
Strictly Come Dancing continues its Saturday broadcasts on BBC One at 6:30 PM.
