SEQUINS and glitterballs dazzled the audience as the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour came to the region this evening.

Several stars of the popular TV show are at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle to catch their dancing heroes in action.

The line-up is led by current champion Caroline Flack, together with favourites from the last series - TV presenter Alison Hammond, Simon Webbe from Blue, former rugby player Thom Evans and TV personality Mark Wright.

Singer Rachel Stevens, a contestant from a previous series, is also taking part as a late replacement for Frankie Bridge from The Saturdays, who is pregnant.

Zoe Ball is hosting the evening and regular judge Craig Revel Horwood is joined on the panel by Tom Chambers and Camilla Dallerup, who are previous winners of the show.

The Arena is hosting two more performances tomorrow at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
