It wraps up at London’s O2 Arena in February.

Actress Tyldesley – who was eliminated earlier in the BBC One series – said she was “so delighted” to be continuing her Strictly journey.

“I have absolutely fallen in love with dancing, so I can’t wait to get back on that dance floor and perform for the Strictly fans once more. Roll on January!” she said.

Scott said she was hoping to perform some of her favourite routines from the competition again.

“Strictly has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I’m thrilled that I’ll get to dance for everyone who has voted for me on the TV series,” she said.

Bushell said he was “thrilled to be asked”.

He added: “I’ve loved my journey on the TV show and have lost a stone and a half in weight – that shows how good dancing is for you. 

“I think I’ve shown that even a non-dancing dad in his 50s can learn some moves and hopefully I can inspire people in venues across the country too.” 

Barker added: “It’s been incredible, so what better way to see in the New Year than in a glittery costume, on tour, dancing for all the fans. Bring it on!”
