Louis Smith signs up for 'Strictly Come Dancing' tour

Olympic gymnast Louis Smith has signed up to appear on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

The 23-year-old, who is favourite to win the BBC One reality show, has expressed his delight in taking his routines to arenas around the country.

"The support I've had on the TV show has been incredible," said Smith. "I can't believe how much I've enjoyed dancing every week.

"I love the pressure of performing in front of a live crowd, and I can't wait to do that in some of the biggest arenas across the UK."

Smith will be joined by former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan on the tour.
