Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour is back.
CLICK on the green button to see our exclusive chats with Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour stars - latest TV series champ Tom Chambers, runner up Rachel Stevens and Sheffield's own dancing professionals Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova.
And amongst the star studded line up there's nobody more excited to be waltzing into the city than former SClub7 pop star and latest Strictly TV runner up, Rachel Stevens.
"Sheffield is special to me. That's where SClub started. We recorded our first album at the Steelworks studio with Eliot Kennedy. He's a lovely guy, a great writer and producer,'' said Rachel, who had solo mega hit Sweet Dreams My LAX.
Also appearing is current Strictly champ and former Holby City star Tom Chambers. The recent fame hasn't yet led to any major offers.
He revealed: "It might be profile through the roof so you can maybe open a chain of supermarkets. But it's early days. I'd like to get into film."
Sheffield's dance couple Darren Bennett and Russian born wife Lilia Kopylova, who this summer star in their own West End show, called Latin Fever, are promising to turn up the heat for next week's Arena crowd, including fans from the family's own City Limits dance centre in Penistone Road.
"It's always special to perform in your home city and we can't wait. We're so busy we don't spend much time here these days,'' said Darren, reunited on tour with Eastenders star Jill Halfpenny, who partnered him to win series two and the recent Christmas special.
Lilia, who won Strictly in 2005 with Darren Gough, is teamed with camp comedian Julian Clary.
Others include model Jodie Kidd , actress Cherie Lunghi, former Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones and rugby star Kenny Logan. Also taking part are TV judges Len Goodman, Arlene Phillips, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli, with presenter Kate Thornton.
There's six Arena performances, Thursday to Sunday, January 29 to February 1.
Tickets are 35 and 42.50, may be subject to a booking fee and availability. Buy in person from the Sheffield Arena Box Office, call 0114 256 5656 or book on line at www.sheffieldarena.co.uk
