Anton du Beke swapped his dancing shoes for judges paddles last year, as he filled in for Bruno Tonioli on Strictly while the Italian remained in America filming Dancing With the Stars.
The dad-of-two proved popular with fans for his encouraging comments to the celebrity contestants, and viewers have since been speculating about whether he will return later this year.

The star instead simply responded: "Don't know yet – we'll have to wait and see."

Anton teased what fans can expect from their stage show, which starts on Friday, 28 January, as well as revealing an unexpected new nickname he's earned!
He said: "It's just us doing what we do best, it's ballroom dancing but with musical theatre, with a great orchestra. This year we're giving a nod to the great icons of British entertainment and American entertainment…"
Anton went on: "We've got everything, from Tom Jones to Shirley Bassey. We've got a great number by Oasis, Wonderwall but a swing version - it's a brilliant version."

The star finished by adding: "We've got a brilliant Spice Girls Wannabe number in the first half - it's a great Charleston number! It's a great orchestration… and apparently, I've now been deemed as Hairy Spice! Which is great."
Before the 2021 series of Strictly, Anton opened up on Steph's Packed Lunch about being a judge, saying: "I can't tell you how happy I am... It is such an honour to have been asked."
