Two HUGE BBC Strictly stars missing from full tour line-up - leaving fans heartbroken

Strictly fans have been left upset by the two favourites who won't be joining the cast on the road next year

Strictly's full tour line-up has finally dropped - and many fans won't be happy about the two huge stars who are missing.

Among those who have signed up to hit the road in the new year include EastEnders' Jamie Borthwick, Wynne Evans, Shayne Ward and Montell Douglas, all of whom have already been knocked out of the competition.

JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri and Sarah Hadland will also be taking part - but their fellow semi-finalists Pete Wicks and Chris McCausland won't be joining them.

After the news of the line-up was shared on social media, fans were quick to notice the pair's absence and shared their unhappiness. One commented: "Oh noooo why is Chris not in the line up?" While another wrote: "Excited for @jbgill and @tashaghouri but absolutely gutted my faves @p_wicks01 and @jowitaprzystal not there." A third fumed: "@p_wicks01 @jowitaprzystal why aren’t you at the tour everyone wanted you there so unfair a missed trick definitely so heartbroken and disappointed."

It comes after the Mirror confirmed last month that Chris would not be appearing in the live tour from January, despite being the runaway favourite to win the BBC show. The star, who is partnered with Dianne Buswell, is refusing to let down the thousands of fans who have bought tickets to see him perform all over the UK in January and February.

A spokesperson for the comedian, who has been blind since his twenties, said: “Chris has already shifted the dates of his tour to do Strictly and that wasn’t an easy thing to do. There were a lot of disappointed people and it was stressful - we got a lot of messages. So he couldn’t move them again, absolutely not.

“Everyone has been very straight about this all the way along the line. It’s a great shame, because he’d love to do the tour, but Chris is not available. He said at the point of signing up that he wouldn’t be able to do it, that it wasn’t going to be possible, it was always clear.

“The lovely thing is no one could have foreseen just how well it was going to go for him on Strictly. No one thought he’d get this far. But having already moved his tour dates once to accommodate the show, he is unable to do it again. His own tour was pre-planned and came first. There’s no way it can be moved for a second time, that just wouldn’t be fair on his fans.”

Neither Pete or Chris ended up in the bottom two at the weekend, with Montell being the latest contestant to crash out after landing in the dance-off with Tasha Ghouri.
