Anton Du Beke, 60, Career Move Announced Away From Strictly
On Tuesday, Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke, 60, announced a new Christmas single titled 'Dance My Way To Christmas,' set for release on November 6.
Co-Written by Jacqui Hicks and featuring vocals from Lance Ellington, the swing track builds on Du Beke's 2017 album 'From The Top,' which included covers of 'Putting On The Ritz.'
Contracts for Du Beke and fellow judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, and Motsi Mabuse expire at season's end, requiring renegotiations with the BBC.
Performing the single during his 'Anton At Christmas' festive show, Du Beke will tour the UK from December 10–22, visiting Watford, Oxford, Liverpool, and London.
Insiders suggest Ballas may not return for an 11th series, with speculation she could relocate to America to spend time with family.
