Dancer Alexis Warr has confirmed that she’s set to leave the UK again after returning to take part in the show’s huge arena tour
Strictly Come Dancing star Alexis Warr has confirmed she’s set to leave the UK again after returning to take part in the show’s huge arena tour for the first time.
The professional dancer only joined the BBC One dance show’s pro line-up for the first time last year and despite it being her debut year, she was given a celebrity dance partner in the shape of George Clarke.
And it turned out to be a successful first partnership for Alexis, as she and George were seen making it to the Strictly 2025 series final, which took place live on December 20.
The pair were seen going up against fellow finalists, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, and Karen Carney and Carlos Gu as they competed for the 23rd series title, which eventually went to former footballer Karen and her dance partner Carlos as they were seen lifting the coveted Glitterball trophy.
However, George and Alexis have since had a second chance at winning, but this time on the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2026 tour. The show, which features the show’s judges, professional dancers – and stars from the 2025 series gives fans of the hit BBC One dance contest to get a closer glimpse at the standout performances seen on-screen, and get their own experience of what goes on in the Strictly ballroom.
And after dazzling audiences up and down the country over the past month, the Strictly Live 2026 tour was seen coming to a glittering end on Sunday night (February 15), which came after George and Alexis had been confirmed as the tour winners on Friday (February 13), days before the string of shows even came to an official end.
Alexis has now shared her first update since the end of the tour. On Monday (February 16), she shared a selfie in which she could be seen enjoying a well-deserved rest in bed, and it was alongside the post that she confirmed her return the the US was imminent.
She typed alongside the smiling snap: “Heart is so full. Having a day to rest, process, pack, then fly back home tomorrow. Just want to say love ya’ll and thank you [heart emoji].”
It comes as her Strictly co-stars are among those sharing their praise for Alexis and George’s tour win. Vicky Pattison, who also joined the show on the road, reshared a video from Strictly Live of the winners lifting the trophy and said: “My babies… Congratulations @georgeclarkeey and @alexis_warr!!! I love you both so much.” Professional dancer Katya Jones also gushed: “Smashed it on her first year @alexis_warr. So happy for these two!!!”
Fans have also expressed their delight. @talleymcauley said: “The fact they did this when George wasnt at so many shows just proves how much people love them. So proud of Team Warrkey, the best partnership to come from this series.” @zawnlis commented: “My winners from day one. They had that extra special something that made them a great partnership. A total novice to tour winner. Alexis a great teacher. Yay!!!”
@_heatherhay_ replied: “Amazing news. Was gutted when they didn’t win the main series.” @joanne.meadows71 gushed: “So deserved. Best partnership in the history of SCD.” @alisend73 added: “Yay my winners. Should’ve won the show but I’m so pleased they won the tour. @alexis_warr is a great addition to the Strictly family and what an amazing partnership she had. with @georgeclarkeey.”
