Ali Bastian is best known for her role as Becca Deacon in hit soap Hollyoaks and is currently walking the beat in the UK's best loved cop show The Bill. She wowed the judges with her near perfect American Smooth in week seven of this year's show.

EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy, who played Sonia Jackson in the BBC1 soap for over a decade, is winning consistent praise (and votes) from Strictly judges and viewers with her energetic performances on the show. Natalie competes in the Strictly Live tour ahead of her return to Albert Square in 2010.

Footballers' Wives and Bad Girls favourite Zoe Lucker battled her nerves to achieve consistently high marks during this year's series, achieving her highest score of 33 for the Foxtrot and American Smooth.

The original line-up of judges; Len Goodman, Bruno Tolioni, Arlene Philips and Craig Revel-Horwood are also on hand with comments and scores for the celebrities and their partners, but it is audiences who have the final say each night.

Audiences should prepare themselves for an array of beautiful costumes, skilful routines and a host of celebrity dancers.

Stars from the hit BBC1 television show past and present will gather their gowns and dance shoes to become dance contestants, competing for the votes of the audiences in Arenas across the UK. They will be joined on the dates across January and February, by their world-class professional partners, performing intricate dance moves to fantastic live music.

The five-week dance spectacular produced by Stage Entertainment UK and Phil McIntyre Entertainment in association with BBC Worldwide, will also travel to London's The O2 arena on 4 - 7 February.
