Strictly's Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara 'lucky' as they make huge announcement

Skorjanec and Manrara revealed plans for a UK tour in 2025, titled 'A Night To Remember'.

Having been paired with Tasha Ghouri, Aljaz Skorjanec is now set to reunite with partner Janette Manrara as they prepare for a nationwide tour. The 34-year-old Slovenian dancer has wowed Strictly Come Dancing audiences and judges alike, particularly with his performance alongside Love Island star last Saturday, dancing the rumba to a track from the Barbie film soundtrack (2023) on BBC One's contest.

However, in recent news, both Skorjanec and Manrara revealed plans for a UK tour in 2025, titled 'A Night To Remember'. It will encompass an impressive 15-date itinerary following the conclusion of Strictly's anniversary season.

They will present dances to various songs, ranging from classic American songbook numbers to contemporary hits, backed by their very own big band.

Discussing the forthcoming venture, Aljaz remarked: "As if my return to Strictly wasn't exciting enough, for Janette and I to be looking forward to our biggest tour next year makes us feel like the luckiest dancers in the world."

He added that there's no substitute for performing to live music, saying: "And as everybody knows from watching Strictly, you just can't beat dancing in front of a live band. So, more than ever, we can't wait to share our new show with our amazing fans all across the UK.", reports the Mirror.

Janette then added: "It truly is going to be a memorable show, and we are so happy to have the phenomenal Tom Seals and his big band bringing their off-the-scale energy to the stage for us to dance to every night."

Catch the 2025 tour as it kicks off in Bath on May 17, 2025, concluding weeks later in St Albans on June 6. Eager fans can snag their tickets this Friday, October 11, at 10am.

Following Aljaz's return to the Strictly ballroom for the first time in two years and Janette, who recently became a mum, taking the reins of It Takes Two alongside Fleur East, the series waved goodbye to Toyah Willcox last Saturday. The partnership of Tasha and Aljaz, however, continues to shine, as they are currently pegged as one of this year's top contestants to take home the glitterball trophy in the 22nd season of Strictly.
