‘Such a joy to be starting the year with strictly’

Kevin’s guest is someone he is very familiar with - Stacey Dooley who he lifted the Strictly Come Dancing Glitterball Trophy with, in 2018.

Kevin is in rehearsals for ‘The Wedding Singer’ and Stacey is packing as this year she is hosting the Strictly Come Dancing live tour and in this episode, they chat about the live tour and the great professional and celebrity partnerships that are taking part.

Both Kevin and Stacey reflect on how it’s only when you are on tour with the live Strictly Show tour that you really understand how this long-running series is so much a part of the nation’s culture and how loved it is across the generations who watch it.

As a much-loved partnership and past winners of the glitterball this is a great opportunity to hear about what goes on behind the scenes and the dances that Kevin and Stacey have particularly enjoyed from the last series, listen in and enjoy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Each performance is set up like an episode of strictly with couples all performing and every night on tour someone wins the glitter ball with the audience voting via text.
  • At the end of the tour the couple who have won the most performances are crowned champions of the tour and receive the prestigious tour glitterball.

  • Kelvin Fletcher & Janette Manrara – we were both fans of Kelvin from early on. It was clear from his first performance that he could go all the way.
  • Emma Barton & Graziano Di Parma. - really pleased Grazts is getting the chance to dance with Emma, as he didn’t have a celebrity partner in the series. He’s such a sweetheart but people assume he’s a bit arrogant which is so far from the truth, he’s very kind, considerate and a wicked dancer.
  • Catherine Tyldesley & Johannes Radebe. Watching Johannes perform was a breath of fresh air. When Johannes danced with Grazts he spoke about performing as his true self on a show that’s been established for a long time and how important it was for him.
  • Mike Bushell & Katya Jones - He never stops practising because he wants to do his best. When someone isn’t a natural dancer and dances are a bit funny, people mistake it as the person not taking it seriously but that is so far from the truth.
  • Karim Zeroual & Amy Dowden. - One of the sweetest girls you could meet. She is unassuming and works really hard. Karim is a brilliant dancer and it means as the professional you have to deliver, there is a great amount of pressure.
  • Saffron Barker & AJ Pritchard - Saffron was much more comfortable with ballroom.

Their waltz was beautiful and very calm.

  • Alex Scott & Neil Jones – Neil’s one of my best mates on the show.

They look brilliant together and when you watch Alex perform you really know how she is feeling. Suddenly she had to dance with someone different and she didn’t let it faze her at all.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The British public love an underdog so the tour can be completely different from the TV series as to who the public vote for’

‘As a contestant, you are heavily reliant on your professional’

‘She never moaned or complained about it, she just wanted to make the most of the opportunity she had’
