IT’S TIME to dust off your dancing shoes – Strictly Live is back in town.

The glorious glitterball extravaganza lights up the Hydro stage tonight in the first of three shows featuring stars from the hit BBC ONE series.

Call the Midwife actress Helen George, The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness, EastEnders actor Jake Wood and Frankie Bridge from The Saturdays join Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote, celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott and TV presenter Anita Rani for the Glasgow dates.

This year’s host is Mel Giedroyc, fresh from presenting the Great British Bake Off, and judges Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood (who also directs the tour) and Bruno Tonioli are also back on board.

Series winner Jay McGuinness has been reunited with his partner Aliona Vilani for the tour and Georgia, Helen, Ainsley and Anita – who all competed in the 2015 run – will also rejoin their professional partners – Giovanni Pernice, Aljaz Skorjanec, Natalie Lowe and Gleb Savchenko respectively.

Jay said: “I’m used to performing in front of massive crowds when touring with The Wanted, but performing with Aliona on the Strictly Live Tour is a totally different experience. I loved my time on the TV series, but being back out in front of live arena audiences is great.”

Frankie Bridge, who missed the live tour last year because she was pregnant, will dance with Kevin Clifton and Jake Wood will partner Janette Manrara.

Kevin’s wife Karen Clifton will join the tour for the professional dances and group numbers.

Strictly Come Dancing Live is at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow from tonight until Sunday, call 0844 395 4000 for tickets.
