Since winning the 2008 Strictly series, Tom Chambers has won a prestigious Olivier Award nomination for his performance in the award-winning West End musical Top Hat. He is currently starring in White Christmas at London’s Dominion Theatre, which is smashing box office records. He will now take his place on the tour’s judging panel, alongside Craig Revel Horwood and his former dance partner Camilla Dallerup. He said: "Wow, what an opportunity! Having won the 2008 TV series and performed on the tour with Camilla, I know what it's like to be on the Arena dance floors and take the comments from the judges! I can't wait to get into the famous judging seat and see which of the celebrities wins the competition at each performance!"
Camilla Dallerup is well known to Strictly fans, having competed in the first six series of the TV show. She and Tom won the 2008 series and went on to headline the 2009 tour. On her new role as a judge, Camilla said:”I'm thrilled to have been invited to return to the Strictly Live Tour as a judge! I can't wait to join Craig and my former dance partner Tom Chambers in arenas from January. I'll be using my background as a dancer on the TV series to give the contestants help and advice throughout the competition. See you on the dance floor!"
Simon Webbe, star of boy band Blue, is receiving top scores on the BBC1 series. He can’t wait to start the tour in January, commenting: "I jumped at the chance to join the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour and carry on my dance journey just that bit longer. I was really nervous at the beginning of the series but now I'm having so much fun and don't want it to end. I hope all the Blue fans will come along to support me and vote - I want to be able to lift that Strictly Glitterball trophy with Kristina in front of the audiences across the country!"
Radio 1 star Scott Mills was the fifth celebrity to leave the BBC1 series this year. He will be reunited with his dance partner Joanne Clifton on the tour. Scott said: “Being on the biggest show on television has been amazing. It's been a brilliant experience to learn the routines, something I thought I would never do! Now I'll be showing off my unique new talent to fans of Strictly across the country as part of the Live Tour. It's going to be a busy few weeks - but I can't wait!"
