Judges Panel and Roles
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2025 will feature a star-studded judging panel, bringing the same expertise and flair from the TV show to arenas across the UK. Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood will return, joined by Motsi Mabuse in her UK tour debut. As head judge, Ballas will have the deciding vote in case of ties, while Revel Horwood will also serve as the tour's director. The judges will provide their invaluable critiques and scores for each performance, but unlike the TV show, they won't have the final say in determining the winner. Instead, the audience at each venue will have the power to vote for their favorite couple using their mobile phones, deciding who lifts the coveted Glitterball Trophy at every show. This interactive element adds an exciting dimension to the live tour, allowing fans to directly participate in the Strictly experience.
BSL Accessibility Features
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2025 is committed to making the show accessible to all audiences, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Each performance will feature a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, displayed on two large screens on either side of the stage. This innovative setup allows BSL users to book seats almost anywhere in the arena and still enjoy the full experience alongside family and friends. For the Sheffield show at Utilita Arena, patrons requiring BSL interpretation are encouraged to contact the venue as early as possible, preferably at least 6 weeks before the event, to ensure arrangements can be made.
