Strictly Come Dancing's 2022 tour is about to kick off, with most of last year's cast taking to the dancefloor again, alongside a few faces from the 2020 series.

We knew that Janette Manrara would be hosting the live shows, following her successful first series as the new host of Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two, but now she's revealed that she is also going to bust some moves as well.

Appearing on Wednesday's The One Show (January 12), Janette said: "I said I would absolutely love the honour of hosting the Strictly live tour, as long as I can dance. So I will be dancing again on the stage.

"I've missed dancing, to be honest. I really did miss dancing on the series, but it was nice to watch and watch the couples grow and have a chat with them on It Takes Two. [Now] to join them and do some of the big group numbers with them, I'm really excited."

Taking part in the tour are the latest winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, runners-up John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, as well as Sara Davies and Janette's husband Aljaž Skorjanec, Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin, and Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu.

2020 series star Maisie Smith will be dancing with Kai Widdrington, replacing AJ Odudu who suffered a nasty injury that forced her to withdraw from the competition. Max George, from the same series, is also taking part. He's partnered with Katya Jones.

Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and a returning Bruno Tonioli will be judging proceedings.

Strictly Come Dancing is expected to return to BBC One later this year. The One Show airs weeknights at 7pm.
