Angela Scanlon will be donning her sequin once again for the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

The Irish presenter took part in the beloved BBC show late last year.

And she really showed off her skills on the dancefloor before being eliminated the week before the quarter-final.

She will reunite with her professional partner Carlos Gu for the tour, which kicks off in Birmingham on Friday.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she discussed heading back onto the dancefloor. She joked: “Can I ever be ready? Bit like childbirth and Strictly, strap in and hope for the best!

“It was a big part of the motivation for me, the physicality of it.”

She went on to say: “I used to be super fit and after having my two girls, I was more gentle and did things that were more chill physically, apart from the birthing of the pair of them.

“So I quite fancied the idea of doing something that pushed me physically, but the jive… I mean sucker punch as it was week two and I hadn’t built up the stamina or fitness, but it was a ferocious jive, it was intense.

“I feel really proud and there was a sense of reminding myself of my strength beforehand. But what I hadn’t banked on was the emotional journey, the physicality was what I was fixated on and the rest of it was a cherry on the top.”

The tour won’t be coming to Irish shores however, which has rightfully irritated our Angela!

“We’re not going to Belfast or Dublin though, we’re absolutely furious as that would have been a shoo in!”

100 per cent, Angela!
