Hold onto your dance shoes, because the Strictly Come Dancing Professionals UK Tour is about to hit theaters! This 30-date extravaganza promises to deliver all the sparkle and rhythm fans crave, kicking off at Stockton's Globe Theatre on April 30 and culminating at Blackpool's Opera House on May 30. Expect a show that's bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking than ever before – all your favorite dance pros will be strutting their stuff under the spotlight.

Star-Studded Performances Await

Dance sensations like Vito Coppola, Gorka Marquez, Jowita Prystal, Lauren Oakley, Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Neil Jones, Luba Mushtuk, Julian Cailon, and Alexis Warr are all set to grace the stage, bringing their signature moves and charisma. Recently, Kai and Jowita made an appearance on BBC's The One Show to tease what's in store. Jowita expressed her excitement about the tour, saying, "I genuinely cannot wait because last year we didn't have the pro tour and this is one of the highlights of our career and being on Strictly."

Behind the Scenes Drama & Departures

The tour comes in the wake of some significant changes to the Strictly Come Dancing lineup. With the departure of beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, the show is undergoing a transformation. Furthermore, fan favorites Luba, Nadiya Bychkova, Karen Hauer, and Michelle Tsiakkas have also announced their exits. Michelle, who was scheduled to appear on the tour, has withdrawn, leaving fans and producers disappointed. "Michelle Tsiakkas has decided not to take part in Strictly The Professionals 2026 Tour. We are naturally disappointed but respect her decision and wish her every success for the future," read a statement on the tour’s social media page.

The One Show is there to keep you updated with all the behind-the-scenes gossip and airs weekdays on BBC One at 7pm. Get ready for a show filled with fun, unforgettable performances, and a peek into the lives of your favorite pros!
