Ed Balls, Ore Oduba and Lesley Joseph Join STRICTLY COME DANCING Tour

Ed Balls may have departed the competition, but he's not hanging up his dance shoes yet. The former Shadow Chancellor is the latest celebrity name confirmed for the 2017 Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour, along with Ore Oduba and Lesley Joseph. They join the already confirmed Louise Redknapp, Danny Mac and Daisy Lowe.

Ed said: "My time on Strictly has been incredible. I've been overwhelmed by the huge support I've had from the public voting for me. Going on tour is going to be another first for me and I plan to give it everything I've got for the audiences across the country."

Former contestant Anita Rani hosts the 10th live tour, and Karen Hardy joins Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood on the judging panel. The 21-date tour kicks off in Birmingham on 20 January, 2017, and comes to London's O2 and Wembley Arenas in February.
