New Strictly judge Anton Du Beke's 2-in-1 show solution at Lighthouse

Revealed as the new judge on Strictly Come Dancing, Anton Du Beke has also delivered a novel two-in-one solution to having to tour his latest live show to socially distanced audiences. 

Rather than move the date, Anton and his partner in time Giovanni Pernice have decided to present two shows on the same day of their eagerly anticipated live show Him & Me. 

The dancing duo will now perform two shows for socially distanced audiences at Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, at 3pm and 7.30pm on Saturday 10 July. A limited number of tickets for the matinee show have now become available. 

It was announced today that Anton will join Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas on the judging panel for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing replacing Bruno Tonioli who is unable to fly over from the United States – where he is a judge on Dancing with the Stars – due to Covid restrictions. 

Tickets for Anton Du Beke & Giovanni Pernice: Him and Me available now at www.lighthousepoole.co.uk
