STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec have announced the rescheduled dates for their hotly anticipated new dance spectacular tour, 'Remembering The Oscars'.

Having been due to start in March, the tour was postponed following the closure of theatres across the UK as part of the nationwide effort to combat the spread of coronavirus.

The 38-date tour will now take place next year, starting on March 20 2021 and finishing on May 4 2021.

The tour also includes a residency at London’s Peacock Theatre from March 29 to April 3.

The couple's performance at the Bournemouth Pavilion has been rescheduled to April 29 2021.

Janette said: "We are so thrilled to have the opportunity to put on this magnificent show that we are so proud of in 2021. We hope that when these difficult times pass, we can bring joy and smiles to everyone’s hearts; nothing would make us happier!"

Aljaž added: "It was heartbreaking to not be able to open with our show this year, but we are now so thrilled that our beautiful show will still be seen by the UK audiences next year."

All tickets for the tour remain valid for the rescheduled dates next year, and the pair have a treat planned for NHS staff.

10 free VIP tickets, which include a meet and greet with Aljaž and Janette, will be made available to NHS staff, at every venue.

Information on how to claim these tickets will be announced very soon once normal services resume.

Aljaž and Janette said: "We know what we are offering is a relatively small gesture, but we want to acknowledge the amazing effort of the NHS staff who are facing unimaginable pressure on a daily basis as they treat patients across the UK affected by coronavirus.

"We’ll be rolling out the proverbial red carpet for these heroes and we look forward to thanking them in person throughout the tour."
