THE Wirral star of TV's Strictly Come Dancing comes home this week for a special show in New Brighton.

The glitterball will be on James Wilson and fellow Strictly stars Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis during Life Through Dance at the Floral Pavilion on Friday, April 10.

The show promises to take audiences on a journey through life and love and is currently on a 78 night UK tour.

James, 31 and from Caldy, has represented England for Latin and Ballroom, and now travels the globe as a professional dancer.

He said: "It’s a real privilege to be touring with Pasha and the other amazing dancers in Life Through Dance.

"I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience with friends and family and people on the Wirral – it’s great to have the chance to dance on my home turf again.

James first found fame when he starred as a professional dancer on the Turkish version of Strictly alongside Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

Tickets for Friday's show, which starts at 7.30pm, are from the box office on 0151 666 0000 or www.floralpavilion.com
