Karim Zeroual tours with Strictly Come Dancing pros

Strictly Come Dancing finalist Karim Zeroual will join professional dancers from the show for a touring production of Here Come The Boys.

The children’s TV presenter, who took part in the series in 2019, will appear alongside Graziano Di Prima, Nadiya Bychkova, Nikita Kuzmin and Pasha Kovalev this summer.

Zeroual and his partner Amy Dowden reached the Strictly Finals but missed out on Kelvin Fletcher.

He previously joined the cast of Here Come The Boys during its West End run in 2021.

The upcoming 30-date tour will feature a large LED screen and lush production values, according to organizers.

It premieres at Portsmouth Guildhall on Wednesday 15th June and the tour ends on Sunday 24th July in Newcastle at the Theater Royal.

Zeroual said: “I’m so excited to be back on tour with the boys and Nadiya.

“Having seen the amazing reaction from the audience when we performed at the Palladium in the West End, I can’t wait to bring that impact and energy to audiences across the UK.

“Dancing has had a massive impact on my life. Without Strictly, I wouldn’t have opportunities like this.

“Touring an incredible dance show with incredibly talented people is a dream come true!”

Here Come The Boys toured the UK for the first time in summer 2019 and returned to the stage for a 10 day residency at the London Palladium in May 2021.

Di Prima said: “The reaction we received during the Here Come The Boys residency in London’s West End last summer was very special.

“We are so excited to finally be able to bring this very special show to cinemas across the rest of the UK and can’t wait to see everyone on tour.”

Here Come The Boys is directed and choreographed by Gareth Walker.
