The former Strictly professional dancer turned judge will join the two fellow judges on the tour along with many of the celebs and professional dancers from the current series, which launched on BBC One last week.

Anton, 56, who previously missed Strictly live shows as he was starring in his own tour, said: “I’m so excited to join my fellow TV judges on the Strictly 2023 tour and have the chance to enjoy all the fun of the live experience.”

The live shows will once again be directed by Craig, 57. He said: “I’m thrilled to be back directing and judging. It is going to be bigger and better than ever – my imagination is running wild!

“With Anton joining the judging panel, one word, three syllables: Fab-u-lous!”

Strictly’s head judge Shirley, 62, completes the panel. She said: “It’s always so much fun! The audiences at the arena shows are phenomenal and it’s so nice to get to see everyone and perform for you all.

“I can’t wait for January when we get the show on the road!”

The tour, which will help celebrate the 20th series of the starstudded show, will also feature the Strictly live band and kicks off at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on January 20.

The host has been announced as former Strictly professional Janette

Manrara, who said: “I’m so excited to be returning to host the Strictly Live Tour.

“It is the most incredible experience to be part of this epic production, bringing all we love about the TV series to hundreds of thousands of people around the UK.”

Janette, 38, began presenting Strictly spin-off It Takes Two in 2021 alongside Rylan Clark.

The live tour arena audiences will not only watch the Strictly stars in action but will also be granted the power to decide who wins the coveted glitterball trophy at the end of each live show.

After the first week of the latest series, actor Will Mellor and wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin are in joint first place on the leaderboard. The first elimination is this weekend.
