Strictly Come Dancing favourites Ellie Simmonds and Tyler West are to make a return to the dancefloor. The news will come as a relief to fans who greeted the pair's exits from the BBC show with outcry.
The paralympic swimming champion and the Kiss FM DJ will return to the Strictly world as the first celebrities named as appearing in the hit series' upcoming 2023 UK arena tour. Will Mellor, who is preparing to perform in week 10 of the competition this weekend, will also join them when they hit the road early next year.
Janette Manrara will return to host the tour, alongside judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke - although it'll be the first time the latter has appeared in the live show. The 31-date tour is set to kick-off on January 20 in Birmingham’s Utilita Arena. You can get more showbiz news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
