Strictly Come Dancing stars act shy and brave the cold as they head out to celebrity haunt after Manchester show

Strictly Come Dancing's Tilly Ramsay and Maisie Smith looked shy as they headed out after two shows in Manchester.

The CBBC star and former EastEnders actress headed arm-in-arm to celebrity haunt Menagerie after performing a matinee and evening show at the city's AO Arena.

They're among the several stars of the BBC One dance contest who are heading across the country on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2022.

Tilly and Maisie are joined on the road by 2021 series winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, finalist John Whaite, Rhys Stephenson, Sara Davies, and 2020 alumni Max George, as well as the show's cast of professional dancers.

And the stars put on a sensational show as they visited the city on Saturday (January 29).

The group, who were earlier pictured leaving their hotel, will be back on the dance floor on Sunday for another double show day.

But that wasn't before they made the most of the city's exclusive venues.

Tilly, the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, and Maisie were pictured arriving at Menagerie alongside Tilly's sister, Holly.

The 20-year-old wrapped up warming in a black North Face puffer jacket and leather leggings while Maisie hid her brown maxi ensemble under a coat.

The tour's host Jannette Manrara was also snapped arriving at the Salford venue alongside her husband Aljaž Škorjanec, who is partnered with Dragons' Den star Sara.

The couple, who were reunited on the dance floor during last year's grand final after Jannette left as a professional dancer, were beaming from ear-to-ear as they arrived in matching black ensembles.

Giovanni was also in good spirits, pictured giving a thumbs up to the awaiting photographers after being voted the winner of Saturday night's show alongside Rose.

Sara, however, was braving the cold as she appeared in a silky pink mini dress and long black boots.

She was joined by professional dancer Katya Jones who also opted for a pair of knee-high black boots and a black lacey mini dress.

The pair were shortly followed to the venue by EastEnders star Rose who was donning a see-through sparkly top and bralette with cigarette trousers and pair of bright white Converse.

John, who won the matinee show alongside partner Johannes Radebe, arrived alongside professional dancer Nancy Xu.

The former Bake Off winner looked as cool as a cucumber as he strolled up to Menagerie in a white vest and grey patterned cardigan which he had teamed with a skinny pair of jogging pants and black boots.

Nancy, who is paired with Rhys, added a splash of colour to her outfit thanks to a pin-striped, oversized blazer.

The group has so far visited Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle as the tour heads to arenas across the country.

The Strictly Come Dancing stars will perform their final two shows in Manchester today before heading on to Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Nottingham.

The mega 33-date tour will finish in London at the 02 Arena in mid-February.
