Ore Oduba, Charles Venn and Strictly tour secrets!

Ore Oduba, 2016 Strictly champ, is in the studio to launch the 2019 live tour and came prepared to dish the dirt. Debbie McGee joins us from panto rehearsals, and reminisces with Ore about tour life, room service, massages and all. Charles Venn and Karen Clifton share what makes a Strictly high as well as revealing Charles’ dance nemesis. There’s also the tricks of the trade for when you’re waiting to go out on the Strictly dance floor, and the cheekiness that can happen waiting to dance on the live tour. Plus Ore and Debbie discuss the pros and cons of being joined by more dancers than you’re used to for those live routines. Host Rachel Ward and Telegraph panelists Jess McAree and Chrissy Amer bring it all together plus we hear what a young Strictly fan made of Saturday night’s action, and we’ve got a bunch of stats to get you in the mood for the semi-finals.
