Tilly’s light-hearted Instagram story comes following some disappointing news broke about the Strictly tour.

Janette Manrara took to Instagram today to let fans know the latest update on the tour’s restrictions.

The 38-year-old announced to fans that the cast wouldn’t be able to take pictures with them during the tour this time due to COVID restrictions.

“I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry about us not being able to take photos or sign photos for you guys on the road,” she said.

“It’s only just to protect ourselves so that we can make sure we get the show up and that we’re able to perform and bring all the different cities in the UK a great, great performance.”

She then said that she would say hello, but “from a distance”.
