Stars of Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice will team up for a brand new dance show.
Rip It Up The 70s will tour the UK later this year.
It comes from the producers of Rip It Up The 60s which starred Strictly Come Dancing stars Aston Merrygold, Jay McGuiness, Louis Smith and Harry Judd.
This new show will see Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis return, this time appearing with Strictly finalist Rachel Stevens and Pussycat Doll’s star Melody Thornton – who recently competed on Dancing On Ice.
The trio will sing and dance to all-time classics from the era that brought the sounds of disco, glam rock, punk, funk, new wave and reggae into the mainstream alongside bold fashion statements such as hot pants, flares, crop tops, jumpsuits, platform shoes, maxi-dresses and tartan suits!
Louis said: “Every night during the Rip It Up tours I tell people these shows are the hardest thing I have ever done – even harder than competing at the Olympics and Strictly. I’m not sure everyone believes me, but I’m telling the truth. But I love dancing and relish a challenge, so I am so happy to be part of the new Rip It Up The 70s show.”
Rachel added: “I am so excited to be joining the cast for Rip It Up The 70s. Dancing has played such an important role in my life. Like Louis, Strictly was one of the best experiences of my life, so I’m really looking forward to being involved in such an amazing production. And what’s not to love about the music and fashion of the ‘70s? It’s going to so much fun.”
And Melody commented: “Singing, dancing, ‘70s pop culture and fashions are lifelong passions of mine, so I jumped at the chance to appear in Rip It Up The 70s. I’m excited to show UK audiences exactly what I can do. I can’t wait to be part of what is going to be the most exhilarating show and an amazing tour with such a mind-blowing soundtrack.”
