Strictly star Anton Du Beke set for Christmas return to Wycombe Swan

Strictly Come Dancing legend Anton Du Beke will take to the Wycombe Swan stage this winter as part of his nationwide festive tour, Christmas with Anton & Friends.

The King of the Ballroom is set to bring some seasonal sparkle to the Swan as he reprises his much-loved Christmas show following its run last year.

Du Beke, A self-confessed devotee of the festive season, will be joined on stage by singer Lance Ellington, a live band and dance troupe for an evening of music and dance.

Audiences can expect some of the Strictly star’’ favourite Christmas songs, interactive sing-alongs and a raucous, showstopping medley to close out the evening.

Du Beke returns to the Wycombe Swan stage following an appearance last year where the ballroom aficionado hosted a Q and A session centred on the secrets of the dancing industry.

His 2026 Christmas tour, which arrives at the Swan for one night only on December 4, was announced with a festive video featuring Anton and his twins George and Henrietta.

Du Beke said: “As the song says, ‘It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.’

“You can’t start talking about Christmas too early in my opinion.

“The children, Hannah and I absolutely love it. Nothing compares to it – it’s the best time of the year.

“I loved doing the shows so much last year – they were simply magical – so I genuinely can’t wait to get on the road and do it all again.”

Christmas with Anton & Friends will visit theatres across the UK in 2025, with tickets available via the Wycombe Swan website at https://tinyurl.com/2tzmhfw8
