BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s favourite male professionals, Ian Waite and Vincent Simone, are joining forces for the very first time, writes Luke Adams.

Their brand new show – The Ballroom Boys – promises to be a great deal of fun, as the title may suggest.

The show comes to the Wycombe Swan Theatre on June 25.

Neither are strangers to life on the road, with It Takes Two regular Ian having done several tours with former dance partners Camilla Sacre-Dallerup, Natalie Lowe, and most recently Oti Mabuse.

It will be a homecoming for the Reading-born dancer, who regularly holds dance classes at St. Crispin’s School in Wokingham.

Strictly’s original and best-loved Italian, Vincent has graced theatres up and down the country with Flavia Cacace in their Argentine Tango inspired shows.

So, what made the two popular professionals join up for a so-called ‘boys tour’?

Ian said: “With so many Strictly tours going out on the road in 2019, we wanted to do something a bit different, so Vincent and I spoke about a boys reunion and The Ballroom Boys idea came to life.”

Argentine Tango legend Vincent and King of the Ballroom Ian, will be joined by two professional female dancers and a wonderful vocalist.

The night will be packed with dances, songs and plenty of banter.

Simone, who has lost none of his cheeky Italian charm, said: “I’m looking forward to working with Ian again. As you know, we are both quite funny, if I say so myself.”

Expect dances including the Waltz, Quickstep, Paso Doble, Foxtrot and of course, the Argentine Tango.

Get ready for a high intensity evening of glitz and glamour.

Tickets for all performances are now on sale from theatre websites.

There are also a limited number of VIP tickets available at most venues, where guests can meet Ian and Vincent before the show and have their photo taken.
