CRAIG Revel Horwood has revealed the upcoming Strictly tour show is cancelled as Storm Eowyn is set to batter the UK.
The BBC show’s nationwide production was set to continue at tonight, but it's had to be postponed due to extreme weather conditions.
Forecasters are predicting winds of up to 100mph, prompting widespread disruption across Scotland.
Train and bus services in Glasgow have been suspended as authorities brace for life-threatening conditions, with the worst weather expected between 10 am and 5 pm on Friday.
In response, producers of Strictly Come Dancing made the decision to reschedule the performance.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, judge Craig announced in the early hours of this morning that the gig would take place on Sunday instead.
He wrote: "UPDATE. Sadly, Due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January.
"Doors will open at 17.30 and the performance will start at 18.30.
"Original tickets remain valid for this show. If guests are unable to attend, they should contact their point of purchase for a refund.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
A spokesperson for the show added in a further statement: “Due to the red weather warning in place tomorrow, the Friday evening performance of Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour will be rescheduled to Sunday evening, 26 January.”
Ticket holders have been assured their seats will remain valid for the new date, though refunds are available for those unable to attend by contacting their original point of purchase.
Organisers issued an apology and said: “We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
Despite the setback, the tour’s star-studded lineup, including Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill will still be onboard when the Glasgow performances take place.
Fans are advised to keep an eye on official Strictly Come Dancing channels for further updates.
Ticket holders were anticipating the reschedule amid the unprecedented weather event.
One person said, "Could have made this decision five hours ago." with another adding, "Finally."
The Met Office has issued the red alert ahead of the severe weather expected tomorrow.
It has predicted the following regions and local areas will be affected:
Central, Tayside and Fife
SW Scotland, Lothian Borders
Strathclyde
Despite the setback, this year’s Strictly tour promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the stars set to perform live in arenas across the UK.
Fans can expect dazzling group dances, jaw-dropping performances, and plenty of backstage banter.
The 2024 show was won by Australian pro dancer Dianne Buswell and Scouse comedian Chris McCausland.
Audiences might be disappointed the winners won't be dancing together on the tour, however they can see Chris in his own stand-up tour which kicks off this month.
Strictly first kicked off back in 2004, and over the years has crowned 21 winners.
