STRICTLY Come Dancing stars, Kevin and Karen Clifton hit the road again this summer visiting Bournemouth’s Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday and Portsmouth’s Guildhall on July 4.

Following the huge, sell-out success of Kevin and Karen Dance 2017, the headline duo will be back for a sensational edge-of-your-seat show which will tour to 37 venues across UK and Ireland.

With heart-pounding choreography, a supporting cast of incredible dancers including other members of the Strictly Come Dancing stable of stars and a live 12-piece show band, their new show for 2018 will leave you breathless.

For Kevin and Karen landing their second tour is a dream come true: “We’ve been working for such a long time to get our own tour off the ground and we didn’t know how the first one was going to be received, and much to our delight it went better than we could have dreamed of!," they said.

“Doing our own tour is a dream come true and we can’t wait to come back with something totally new and exciting.”

World Champion dancers Kevin Clifton and Karen Clifton are now established as two of BBC1′s Strictly Come Dancing’s most popular dancers.

Karen has appeared in five series of TV’s most watched programme, partnering with Nicky Byrne from Westlife in her first year, Hairy Biker Dave Myers in 2013, Mark Wright where they waltzed through to the final, Jeremy Vine and most recently Will Young.

Kevin made a spectacular debut in 2013 reaching the final with celebrity partner and Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid and has since set a new Strictly record by becoming the first professional ever to reach the final for four consecutive years with The Saturday’s singer, Frankie Bridge, Eastenders' actress Kellie Bright and presenter Louise Redknapp.
