The professional dance power couple, who first met in 2010 and tied the knot in 2017, delighted their army of supporters by confirming their triumphant return to the stage just one year after their successful ‘A Night to Remember’ run.
A Dazzling Return: ‘Let’s Face The Music And Dance!’
Aljaž, who is currently partnered with RuPaul’s Drag Race star La Voix on this year’s Strictly series, and Janette, the beloved presenter of It Takes Two, made the thrilling revelation on Instagram.
The pair are trading the small screen for the bright lights of the theatre with their new show: “Let’s Face The Music And Dance!”
The post promised a spectacular return to form: “A dazzling tribute to the legendary songwriters, composers and producers whose music has sound tracked our lives, performed live with the incredible Tom Seals & his Big Band, and a supporting cast of the UK’s very best dancers!”
The announcement confirmed a 16-date tour set for Spring 2026, hitting major cities including Manchester, Blackpool, and York.
Fans Erupt: Social Media Frenzy
The reaction was instantaneous and overwhelmingly positive, with fans and fellow Strictly stars flooding the comments section. The recurring message? Pure excitement.
- “How exciting,” commented one user, perfectly capturing the general mood.
- Another added simply: “Yesss can’t wait.”
- A third user summarized the collective delight, exclaiming: “Over the moon yes they are back!”
The enthusiasm wasn’t limited to the public. Reality TV star and current Strictly contestant Vicky Pattison (partnered with Kai Widdrington) declared: “I WANT TO COME,” while former Strictly pro Gorka Marquez (now a judge on the Spanish version of the show, Bailando con las estrellas) chimed in with a celebratory round of applause emojis.
The announcement proves that even after Janette left the ballroom in 2021 and the pair welcomed their daughter Lyra in July 2023, the nation’s appetite for their unparalleled chemistry and show-stopping routines remains insatiable.
Tickets for the highly anticipated show go on sale this Friday, November 7th.
