Strictly Star Thanks Fans Following Tour Triumphs
Social media personality George Clarke has publicly acknowledged the overwhelming fan support during his ongoing stint on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour. The 26-year-old content creator, who reached the 2025 BBC finals with professional partner Alexis Warr, continues to dazzle audiences nationwide.
Tour Highlights and Manchester Success
During the tour’s recent Manchester leg at AO Arena, Clarke and Warr claimed victory in two of four performances, lifting the coveted Glitterball Trophy after audience votes. Fellow contestants Lewis Cope and Katya Jones secured wins during the other shows across the January 31-February 1 weekend.
The live production features several notable pairings including former champion Layton Williams reuniting with Nikita Kuzmin, Lewis Cope dancing with Katya Jones, and sports personality Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink partnered with Lauren Oakley. The touring company is accompanied by judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, with Janette Manrara hosting.
Fan Appreciation and Social Media Response
Following his Manchester success, Clarke shared a playful Instagram Story featuring his Inbetweeners-themed routine with Warr. “If you want to see me hold an American woman whilst dressed like a character she doesn’t understand, I believe there are still tickets available to do so,” he quipped, later adding: “Appreciate all the support on the tour so far. Ly all x.”
Enthusiastic supporters flooded Strictly Come Dancing Live’s social channels with celebratory messages. One fan exclaimed “Go George!!!!” while another praised: “Yayyyy George & Alexis!! So fab.” A third attendee commented: “What an incredible show tonight, well done George & Alexis! Absolutely outstanding.”
The 2026 Strictly Live Tour continues through February, featuring performances from multiple finalists including Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, who claimed victory in the televised series’ final last December.
