Ola talks about the pro tour

Brian and Kristina will be taking part in the Strictly Come Dancing The Professionals Tour with other professional dancers who appear on Strictly. The tour will travel nationwide, starting in Brighton on 29th April and Plymouth Pavilions in June.
As well as Brian and Kristina, the show will include Ola and James Jordan, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace, Matthew Cutler, Ian Waite, and this season's new faces, Aliona Vilani and Natalie Lowe.
In an interview with the Express & Echo newspaper in Devon, Ola Jordan talked about what the show will involve: "It's a very different show to what people will have seen on television," Ola said.
"We are going to do a two-hour show with fantastic dancing and choreography. People will get a chance to see all different dances.
"There's going to be lots of single and couple slots as well as some group dances. It's going to be great, although it is a lot of hard work for us."

Brian and Kristina's show at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock on 20th June has been cancelled, according to the hall's box office.
However, the show at Ferneham Hall on 5 July has been confirmed as going ahead by the box office at that venue.
