Five Strictly Come Dancing pro dancers are reuniting for new show Legends of the Dance Floor.

Set for an 18-week UK tour, the show will see Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone and Ian Waite take to the stage in October this year in "a nostalgic celebration of Latin, ballroom, tango, rumba and so much more".

The five dancers have all appeared on the beloved dancing competition and have headlined their solo shows throughout the years, but have never shared the stage so far, making this an unmissable opportunity for Strictly fans.

"We are going to produce something very special and very unique," Brendan said in a statement. "I'm really excited to see what we produce on that stage because I know it's going to be something really magical."

"On this tour you have five massive characters, all bringing their own flare, coming together to create an epic show for you!" James said.

Pasha added: "This show is for anyone who loves dancing! We are going back to our roots, back to traditional ballroom and Latin dancing and it's going to be so much fun on stage!"

The dancers will show off their moves alongside a supporting cast, with Vincent saying: "There is going to be lots of glamour and lots of passion! There will be so much talent on one stage, not just from us five but also from our amazing cast!"

Finally, as the title suggests, Ian promised a night to remember: "You'll see legendary dancers doing legendary dancing. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal!"

The tour kicks off on October 1 in Leicester, touching several venues across the UK and ending in Southend on October 22. Tickets go on sale on May 20, and presale access is available now.

Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Tickets for Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals live tour are available now.
