Patsy Kensit said: “I love everything about Strictly; the dancing, the beautiful outfits, the live music and the Tour is going to be absolutely amazing - I’m so glad to be joining it. It’s going to be incredible performing each night in front of arena sized audiences – hopefully I won’t get too nervous! I’ve been working so hard on my dancing during the TV series so hopefully it will pay off on tour!”
Ricky Whittle said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be taking part in the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour. I’ve already dug out my sparkly shirts and started practising my dance moves - I’m hoping to give Colin Jackson a run for his money!”
