Revealing their plan for the day, Anton added: “Auditions… a hot new show in the summer. Come on!”

The dancers will embark on the tour in Cheltenham, before performing their final date in Swindon.

Meanwhile, Giovanni and Rose have continued to impress fans during the Strictly live tour.

The pair have been crowned winners during multiple nights on the tour.
