Matthew To Partner Denise On SCD Tour

It looks that Zoe Ball has her wish. Denise Lewis will be dancing with Matthew Cutler for the Strictly Come Dancing tour next year, leaving Ian free to dance with Zoe.

Denise told ThisIsNottingham.co.uk that she is ready to start training, and is not concerned that a couple of years away from the floor will hurt her: "It's been a long time since I was last dancing in the show but I'm pretty confident I haven't lost my touch."

Denise can't start training with Matthew until he finishes this series, and with Alesha doing well, Denise might have a few more weeks to wait.

Denise has also revealled a little more about the tour: "The stage show is going to be a similar format to the TV programme but obviously the couples won't be doing as many dances. There's one ballroom and one Latin dance for each couple and then some group work too. The professional dancers are absolutely amazing. When you see them live it just blows you away. They're fantastic."
