Speaking about the upcoming tour, Will Mellor said: Strictly has been one of the most memorable and emotional journeys Iāve ever been on! Stepping out of my comfort zone and being a part of this massive show is something Iāll never forget. I canāt wait to put on my dancing shoes and go around the country to perform on huge stages in front of thousands of people who have watched and supported us. Bring on the tour!!ā

I am so happy my Strictly journey isn’t over quite yet and I canāt wait to relive some of our favourite dances and live like a pop-star on tour performing for audiences each night! I am buzzing to get on the road with the gang.ā
