Strictly Come Dancing champion Ore Oduba is set to return to the Rocky Horror Show for a special limited run to mark the show's 5oth anniversary.

The TV presenter and actor famously won the 2016 series of Strictly, and has made a number of stage appearances since his victory.

Last year, he toured the UK as Brad Majors in Rocky Horror, and will be back in the role for a six-week run between May 3 and June 10, 2023, at the Peacock Theatre, London. Tickets are available from London Theatre Direct, starting at £22.

"I can't wait to reunite with my Rocky family, reprising my role as Brad Majors," Ore said (via Broadway World). "There is just nothing quite like the Rocky Horror Show.

"I had the most incredible time touring the country last year, so to slip on the heels and zip up my corset again on the 50th anniversary of this iconic show will be so special. I can't wait to Time Warp again with London audiences at the Peacock Theatre next year, it's going to be epic!"

He'll be joined by the likes of Stephen Webb as Dr Frank-N-Furter, Haley Flaherty as Janet, Kristian Lavercombe as Riff Raff, Darcy Finden as Columbia, Ben Westhead as Rocky, Suzie McAdams as Magenta and Joe Allen as Eddie & Dr Scott.

"Rocky Horror has always been a show I loved, since its earliest days in the Kings Road," added producer Howard Panter. "Richard O'Brien and I are delighted this non-stop party continues to thrill audiences across the world, and we look forward to the next 50 years!"

Last year, meanwhile, Ore welcomed his second child with wife Portia, confirming the newborn girl is called Genie.
