Alesha Dixon won Strictly, but she never did the tour.

I’m not sure if this is in response to my post because you haven’t quoted it but Alesha Dixon won series 5 and when they started the live tour, the first few were a mix of contestants from the early years so there’s possibly more winners than her who didn’t do the tour. According to the Wiki.

It’s just a theory I have based on the fact that for the last 10/11 years all the winners were people who could do the tour and I don’t think the producers/BBC are above manipulating situations to get what they think is best. I imagine it would be more lucrative to have the series winner on the tour than without. But now I’ve said that, Helen won’t do the tour but will still win!

I’ve mentioned before my theory that if you’re not doing the tour, you won’t win. The Tour has a Wiki page and going by that, the tour started in 2008 and until 2011 they had a mix of contestants from the previous series’ but since then, all the tours have included the winner:

2012 was people from series 9 including the winner Harry Judd.

2013 was people from series 10 including the winner Louis Smith.

2014 was people from series 11 including the winner Abbey Clancey.

2015 was people from series 12 including the winner Caroline Flack who danced with Tristan rather than Pasha.

2016 was from series 13 including the winner Jay McGuiness.

2017 was from series 14 including the winner Ore Oduba.

2018 was from series 15 including the winner Joe McFadden.

2019 was from series 16 including the winner Stacey Dooley who danced with Aljaz rather than Kevin.

2020 was from series 17 including the winner Kelvin Fletcher who danced with Janette rather than Oti.

2021 - no tour due to COVID

2022 was from series 19 including the winner Rose Ayling Ellis.

So I’m still thinking that as things stand, the winner will be Molly, Hamza or Will. I just can’t see them wanting a tour where the series champion isn’t involved. But there seems to be 7 couples at most of the tours and I’m sure that’ll be Fleur and Helen they’re going to announce rather than say Kaye and James (no disrespect to them, I just think they would have been announced by now if it was anyone other than Helen and Fleur). Unless of course it’s AJ and Kai…

Ah I see! My bad then! Sorry. :)
 
While it is good to have the winner on the tour I don't think its the be all and end all if they don't come.

The tickets for the tour sell even before there is a line up announced; the brand is strictly not the winner of the tour so it will always sell regardless. Besides on tour they do the whole ''vote for your favourite'' and one of the couples wins the show and its not always necessarily the couple who won the actual television show.

I saw the tour in 2019 and Stacey didn’t win many at all- Joe and Dianne seemed to clear up. I was quite surprised that Rose and Gio won it last year, but I wondered as it was both of them if that helped? If she’d been dancing with someone else I wonder if others would’ve won more.

Aww, Molly and Hamza dancing together!

This Molly doesn't come across so much on the main show. I feel like I don't really know her. She's very "on" and professional, probably from her stage school training, which can be necessary for auditions etc but Strictly is freer and about connecting with them as a person not just their talent. It could also be down to being in so many dance offs though too. I'm sure she'll be asked to audition for some musicals after this though. Craig probably has his eye on her (no that's not linking her to Craig now too.)

That's why I like watching her reels - she comes across so much more relaxed and she's clearly very loved by all her fellow celebs and pros.

Molly and Craig, you say?! 😉

Yeah, I don't follow her but when I've seen a few of her posts she can be quite fun. This was funny the other day (bonus Vito at the end inevitably improvising the lyrics..)

Gorka might not be doing the tour because his own tour starts in February. That means either Helen won't do the tour or she will have another pro.

If Helen is willing to do the tour I suspect her agent is probably playing a little more hardball with the Strictly tour guys regarding the fee after that Caberet dance at the weekend, hence the delay.

Sort of "Yes, my client is very interested, and will most certainly crawl over 4 backing dancers with her teeth bared in order to ram her stiletto heel through the heart of a mannequin that bears no resemblance to her ex-husband, but she requires a 10% bonus now, it is quite traumatic for her"
 
Gorka's short - if he doesn't do the tour, could it be Cameron's moment to partner Helen as the other short fella?
