Sharing it with her followers on Twitter, she said: “On a positive note , it’s not cancelled and it’s still going to happen !
“We just all have to wait a little longer !!!
The professional continued: “Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals 2020 UK Tour now scheduled for May and June of 2021!!!
“Looking forward to see you all then !!!”
The dance show was set to launch May 9 at the London Palladium in the capital city, and the professional dancers have been training and planning for it for months.
