CORONATION Street star Natalie Gumede and England rugby hero Ben Cohen have joined comedian Mark Benton as the first celebrities to sign up to the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2014.

The trio will be wowing arena audiences across the UK - including at the Hydro in Glasgow - following their huge popularity and early success on this year's BBC One show.

More celebrities will be announced very soon.

Alongside the celebrity line-up, Craig Revel Horwood, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli are back as the tour's judges.

They will be on hand to give their expert feedback and all important scores to the celebrities and their dance partners.

Natalie Gumede said: "I'm hugely excited to be part of the Strictly tour, it's the perfect excuse to keep dancing.

"I'm having so much fun and I've learnt so much already, I just want the experience to last as long as possible.

"Dancing for all the fans who have voted to keep me in the show will be really special, I can't wait."

The show will be staged at the Hydro On Saturday, February 1 and Sunday, February 2 next year.
