The much-loved Southport Flower Show will welcome two popular stars from BBC One's hit Strictly Come Dancing.
Strictly couple Janette Manrara and husband Aljaž Škorjanec will be on hand to provide entertainment for the hoards of people in attendance at this year's Southport Flower Show. Taking place at the beautiful Victoria Park, it's the largest independent flower show in the UK.
The famous couple will put in an appearance on Friday, August 19 and complete two Q&As in the Garden Theatre at 12pm and 2pm. They'll also be appearing in the Ladies Day Marquee.

The talented couple first met while performing in Broadway's Burn the Floor and went on to tour the world together. They became engaged in 2015 in the same studio where they met, before marrying in 2017. The wedding was a star-studded affair, with lots of their professional Strictly co-stars and celebrity friends in attendance.
Last month, Aljaž announced he is leaving Strictly after nine years on the BBC show. He won the famous glitterball trophy alongside dance partner, Liverpool model Abbey Clancy, back in 2013 the year he joined the show.
Alan Adams, general manager of Southport Flower Show and Victoria Park said: "We can’t wait to welcome Janette and Aljaž to this year’s show. They will be a huge hit with our visitors and know they will have an enjoyable time at Southport Flower Show.
"They will join a great line-up of special guests this year. On Thursday, we have BBC Gardeners’ World Presenter Adam Frost. Saturday we have The Hairy Bikers cooking live. Sunday we have children’s TV presenter Justin Fletcher and Great British Menu finalist and Ready Steady Cook chef Ellis Barrie [with] more to be announced soon."
