Jill Is Looking Forward To The Tour

Former Strictly champion Jill Halfpenny is looking forward to hitting the road with the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour, but she doesn't think it will be quite as competitive as the series.

She told the Northern Echo: “I realise that people will be able to vote there and then by text and there will be a winner each night, but I really think that the performance is more about the celebration of the TV show and the fun. We will be as competitive as we always are, but it’s not the same as the TV series. It’s much more like ‘come on let’s have all have fun together and go for it’”.

Jill will also be taking on Alesha Dixon in the Christmas special this year. That's a match-up I'm quite excited to see. I believe that Jill is better than Alesha, or at least she was when she won the series. I guess we'll find out on Boxing Day.
