Take That to light up Strictly dance floor at Blackpool Tower

We can Never Forget when Take That performed at the Strictly Final last year. And today we can reveal that they’re back! But are they Back For Good? Well no, but they are back for one of the most exciting dates in the Strictly calendar – Blackpool!

Strictly Come Dancing returns to the home of ballroom this November as we embark on our annual pilgrimage to the world famous Blackpool Tower. This year’s visit promises to be the biggest and best Strictly seaside special to date as one of the nation’s best loved bands, Take That, will perform their brand new single in the ballroom.

Take That said: “Looking forward to seeing everyone when we perform on Strictly's annual special at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. We love playing Strictly and the Blackpool crowd are always up for a big night out!”

Could this be the Greatest Day this series? Could It Be Magic on the dance floor? We can’t wait to see Take That Shine in Blackpool and Rule The World, ahem, we mean ballroom. Sorry, we’ll stop now.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood said: “I am thrilled that Strictly is returning to Blackpool once again this year, our yearly trip there is one of my highlights of the series! The Blackpool Tower ballroom is simply one of the most stunning ballrooms in the world and there is a real magic to the place. Not only is it stunning but the unique sprung dance floor provides an extra challenge for our celebrities as well. I cannot wait to get back there!”

Strictly Come Dancing's Executive Producer Louise Rainbow said: “Blackpool has been the home to many very special Strictly moments. Who can forget Judy Murray flying up on balloons last year or 2013's spectacular group performance with dancers aged 8 to 80 to Young Hearts Run Free! Our annual visit to Blackpool really is the time when the competition hots up for our couples.”

Audiences can also expect all the usual sparkle and razzamatazz that comes with the yearly Blackpool spectacular, including a special group performance by the eight remaining couples that will make it to Blackpool week.
