OHMYGOSSIP — Bruno Tonioli will return to the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judging panel for next year’s arena tour.
The 65-year-old star will reunite with show judges Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas for the live tour, which takes place from January 20th to February 13th.
Bruno was forced to pull out of being a judge on this year’s series of the BBC Latin and ballroom show, and Anton Du Beke has taken his place on the panel.
He said: “I am absolutely delighted to be back on the judging panel for the ‘Strictly’ arena tour for the first time in two years!
“I’ve missed my fellow judges, I’ve missed the glitz and glamour of the tour and I’ve missed the amazing audiences that come to see us all over the country – I hope you have missed me too?!
“I cannot wait to be back alongside Shirley, Craig, the celebs and the pros. The fans are really in for a treat – next year’s arena tour is going to be simply fantastico.”
Shirley and Craig are also looking forward to teaming up with Bruno once again.
She said: “I’m really looking forward to re-joining Bruno and Craig on the ‘Strictly’ live tour.
“The audiences at the arena shows are amazing – I can’t wait for January when we get the show on the road!”
Craig added: “I’m delighted to be back directing and judging the 2022 tour.
“Next year is going to be bigger and better than ever before.
“With Bruno coming back to join us on the judging panel, this tour will be just fab-u-lous!”
The trio will judge the celebrities and their pro partners in 33 shows across the UK as the pairings bid to win the Live Tour Glitterball Trophy.
Strictly’s live tour will open at the Utilita Arena Birmingham on 20 January, and then visit Leeds’ First Direct Arena, Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, the AO Arena Manchester, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, The OVO Hydro in Glasgow and Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena, before culminating with five shows at London’s O2 Arena from 11-13 February.
