Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke has teamed up with a "superstar" for his new stage show.
The pro-turned-judge will be returning to the stage next year for his Anton Du Beke at the Musicals tour.
He will be joined by singer Lance Ellington, a live band and a company of dancers to create an evening filled with song, dance and lots of musical fun.
Anton took to Instagram on Saturday (December 21) to announce an exciting addition to the line-up, with Strictly pro Lauren Oakley officially joining the spring shows as his "leading lady".
