The married couple will take to the stage for 15 dates across the country following the conclusion of the 20th anniversary series of the BBC dancing show. Manrara, 40, a former professional dancer on Strictly and current presenter of the show It Takes Two on BBC Two with Fleur East, expressed her excitement for the upcoming tour.

Skorjanec shared his excitement for the tour, stating, “As if my return to Strictly wasn’t exciting enough, for Janette and I to be looking forward to our biggest tour next year makes us feel like the luckiest dancers in the world.” The tour, named A Night To Remember, will showcase the couple’s performances to songs ranging from the “great American songbook” to modern tracks, accompanied by their own big band. Manrara added, “It truly is going to be a memorable show, and we are so happy to have the phenomenal Tom Seals and his big band bringing their off-the-scale energy to the stage for us to dance to every night.”
