Some more details are emerging about next year’s Strictly Come Dancing: the Live Tour.
The live events will be hosted by former X Factor host Kate Thornton. The various message boards I keep an eye on have been bitching about this appointment, but I met Kate on the set of Viewer of the Year last December, and she was great. She had a real rapport with the audience which didn’t always come across when presenting the Cowell-fest.
Three of the male competitors have been announced: from this series, Matt Di’Angelo, Series 3 champion Darren Gough and Series 1 runner-up Christopher Parker. Parker was rubbish for most of his tenure on the show, only really starting to dance properly in the semi-finals. If he takes the live shows seriously, he could be fun to watch. Gough deserved his win, and I look forward to seeing Matt Di’Angelo in tomorrow’s live show. At least I got one out of my four predictions correct!
