OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin and Joanne Clifton will tour the UK together in 2020.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ siblings – who have both won the BBC’s ballroom competition in the past – have announced their plans to hit the road with the Burn the Floor company.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘This Morning’, Kevin said: “We are finally, after 30 years of having this dream of doing it, gonna go on tour together. Not only that, but we’re touring with a show called Burn the Floor.”
The show ‘Anything You Can Do’ comes from the dance company which started at Sir Elton John’s birthday party 20 years ago when a group of dancers performed and sparked big plans.
From there, the troupe has travelled around the world and become the world’s leading ballroom company, with a number of their members going on to star in ‘Strictly’ and US show ‘Dancing With The Stars’.
Kevin added: “I did a return tour with Burn the Floor this year and it just went down so well that I had all these messages saying ‘Are we gonna see Burn the Floor again? Are you gonna do it again next year?’ – which hadn’t been the plan initially but then Joanne came and saw it.”
Joanne admitted she thought she was finished with dancing after leaving ‘Strictly’ two years ago, but her mind has been swayed.
She explained: “I went to watch it and I thought I was done with dancing after Strictly. Then I watched Burn the Floor and that was the first time in a while that I thought ‘you know what, I’d love to be in it.’
“I’ve always wanted to sing, but then I carried on with the dancing. I was in Italy and came back in 2014 to do ‘Strictly’ and at the same time I started training in singing and acting again so I could do musical theatre.”
Kevin and Joanne will be starring together next year alongside the cast of Burn the Floor in ‘Anything You Can Do’, competing against each other.
