Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2023: Where can I see the live show in Yorkshire and which celebrities will be performing at the show in January?

The Strictly Live Arena Tour is back for 2023 and for the first time ever, Anton Du Beke will join his fellow TV judges Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood so that the public can be a part of its live show. The tour will also include the returning Janette Manrara, who will host the 31 shows across the country in January and February this year.

In last year’s show, Hamza Yassin took the crown as the winner with his dancing partner, Jowita Przystal, despite receiving the lowest points among the finalists with 113. Finalists of last year’s show were Molly Rainford, Fleur East and Helen Skelton.

Fleur topped the leaderboard with 119 points by the judges, followed by Helen with 116 points and Molly with 115, just two points ahead of Hamza. Despite their impressive points on the leaderboard, it was Hamza and Jowita who won the hearts of viewers with their dance moves and chemistry on stage.
