It's Strictly Blackpool!
Blackpool's iconic Tower Ballroom has once more been chosen to host the BBC's flagship entertainment show Strictly Come Dancing.
Among the celebrities taking to the floor for the new series which kicks off with an hour-long launch this Saturday will be former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe and rugby star Gavin Henson.
Magician Paul Daniels and actresses Patsy Kensit and Felicity Kendal are also in the line-up announced by the BBC.
They will all be hoping to reach the Blackpool round of the competition which will see the dancers stepping out on the famous ballroom on Saturday November 20.
Michael Williams, operations director for Leisure Parcs, said;
"We have been working on bringing Strictly back to the Tower ever since they were here last time and we are delighted to be welcoming the show back.
"It gives the Tower and Blackpool a great profile. Last year's live broadcast from Blackpool had viewing figures of 10 million in the UK and it also goes out around the world."
How do you plan to capitalise on the return of such a well known national show? Feel free to share your business ideas.
