Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestant Tilly Ramsay jokingly referenced the “tense” atmosphere as some of the team gathered ahead of their live tour. The star’s Instagram story showed CBBC’s Rhys Stephenson play Kai Widdrington in an intense game of table tennis as their Strictly pals cheered on.
Tilly, 20, took to Instagram this afternoon, where she shared the latest clip behind the scenes of the Strictly tour with her 1.2 million followers.
The social media star ended up coming sixth with her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin in Strictly last year.
Now, they are taking to the dance floor once more for the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.
Many of the audience’s favourite cast members will return to perform, including winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.

The celebrities and their professional partners will take to the stage for the first time this Thursday in Birmingham, and will spend the next few weeks taking their show around the country.
Tilly’s most recent story showed a competitive game of table tennis heating up between professional finalist Kai and celebrity semi-finalist Rhys.
“This is getting tense!” Tilly said as the ball was batted back and forth, before yelling “oh Rhys” as the presenter missed the table, prompting a smile from Kai.
Kai will be paired up once more with presenter AJ Odudu for the Strictly live tour, after making it to the finals with the talented dancer.
Strictly professionals Amy Dowden, Neil Jones, Luba Mushtuk and Jowita Przystal will also be involved in the tour.
Tilly can often be seen joking around on Instagram with her partner Nikita, 24, who made his debut on the show last year.
Nikita recently expressed his excitement about the upcoming tour, which will be his very first in front of audiences up and down the country.
On Saturday he wrote to his 109,000 Instagram followers: “Cannot wait to dance The Jig and many other amazing routines during the Strictly Tour. Who is coming?”
The star also shared a picture of the Strictly pros mid-dance during their take on the classic Irish party scene below deck in the movie Titanic.
“But who is your new Rose?” Dianne Buswell asked in the comments with two laughing emojis.
Nikita responded: “Well I kind of have two now, it’s mostly Amy Dowden but also Tilly Ramsay.”
Dianne, who is not coming on the tour this year, replied: “Cheeky cheeky!!! Don’t come running back to me this season.”
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour begins this Thursday 20 January at Utilita Arena in Birmingham.
