Ann W is set to perform a show-stopping dance routine with her harshest critic and this year’s tour director Craig Revel-Horwood during the Manchester shows.

Speaking ahead of her visit, Ann said: “I am very much looking forward to dancing with Craig after all the rude remarks he has made. However, as he is even taller than Anton, the result should be funnier.”

Ann and the other celebrity dancers will be joined in Manchester by host Zoe Ball, who came third in the 2005 TV series, and TV judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel-Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.
