The Strictly Come Dancing Tour waltzed into London on Monday with another colourful, and occasionally comedic show, this time at Wembley Arena.
Leading the way was Glitterball winner Abbey Crouch, who looked stunning in a floral embellished gown as she sashayed across the makeshift ballroom floor with hunky dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

The pair showed off some Latin flair, with Clifton dressed like a matador alongside Reid, whose impressive moves were still very much in evidence.

After winning the last series of Strictly Come Dancing, Abbey Crouch praised her husband, Stoke City striker Peter Crouch, for his support throughout the series, and said she was looking forward to spending some quality time with the couple’s little girl, Sophia, two
