Don't Rain On Their Parade

Russell & Flavia will be participating in the New Year's Day parade in central London.

Around half a million spectators will line the route from the Ritz Hotel in Piccadilly to Parliament Square.

Speaking about the London Parade, Russell said: "This will be the happiest of New Year’s for me! I have made so many new friends across the country in recent weeks and appearing in London’s New Year’s Day Parade will be the perfect opportunity to say a big thank-you to the great British public for believing in me."

It is the last performance for Russell, before the knee surgery which he had needed since before leaving Strictly.
