The female stars of Strictly Come Dancing showed off their glam looks as they reunited for the show's live tour.

The BBC One dance contest is heading out on the road with the first show of the string of arena dates taking place tonight (Thursday).

On Thursday, Nadiya Bychkova, who is without Dan Walker on the Strictly live tour, took to Instagram with a selfie with several of the show's female stars.

Dancers Nadiya, Amy Dowden, Nancy Xu, Luba Mushtuk, Katya Jones, and Jowita Przystał all smiled or pouted for the camera alongside 2021 winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, Tilly Ramsay and 2020 alumni Maisie Smith.

The group were rocking a mix of gold and silver outfits that had, of course, been dosed in glitter and sparkle.

Tilly also got involved in the selfie action, opting for a mirror shot with Maisie, Amy, Katya and Max George who has also joined the tour after taking part in Strictly in 2020.

Tilly also gave a peace sign for a picture alongside Alkaz Skorjanec who will be touring with his wife, Janette Manrara, as she hots the big show.

The teen was making herself at home with a big jumper and water bottle all ready taking over her dressing table, as well as a digital camera and a pack of protein biscuits.

Elsewhere, Strictly 2021 finalist John Whaite shared a look at a couple of his outfits fans will see him wearing if they head to watch a show.

One was the bedazzled top he wore during December's final of the competition and another he was wearing a white vest and braces read for an 'Irish jig'.

The Strictly stars will be dancing their way into Manchester later this month.

They'll perform two shows at the AO Arena on January 29 and 30 with judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli.

It is the first time Strictly fans will have seen Bruno for a while after he had to miss the recent series due to work commitments in America and being unable to travel easily across the pond due to the coronavirus pandemic.
