Choreographed by Olivier Award winning choreographer Bill Deamer, the Showman tour will be filled with song, dance and laughter. 

Anton du Beke will perform an array of his favourite songs and perform the ballroom dancing he is most well known for including a dramatic Argentine Tango with dance partner Rosie Ward. 

Audiences will also be able to ask burning questions about his 20 years on the hit BBC One show. 

The dancer said: "I am always excited to be going out on the road, but this tour is one of my favourites. I loved it earlier in the year and to be back doing everything I love, songs, dance, chat and laughter - it's my idea of a perfect evening. 

"I am thrilled Bill Deamer has choreographed it, we have known each other for years but this is the first chance we have had to work on a show together and it is spectacular."
