Former tennis pro and Strictly star Annabel Croft is bringing her new show to Dudley later this year.

Annabel will perform From Tennis Balls to Glitter Balls at Dudley Town Hall on Thursday October 2, with tickets still available.

The former British number one is currently on our screens as a BBC pundit offering her views on this year’s Wimbledon, which started on Monday. Annabel also came fourth on Strictly in 2023 with partner Johannes Radebe.

Rupert Knowlden, venues manager for Dudley Borough Halls, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Annabel in her first ever theatre tour.

“In the show, she will take the audience behind the scenes of the world's greatest tennis tournaments, sharing unforgettable moments from her career including interviewing legends like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

“With stories from her time on Strictly too, this promises to be an unmissable experience for tennis and dance enthusiasts.”

Annabel added: “I am really excited to be going on this tour to share my experiences from the world of tennis, broadcasting and dancing on Strictly.

“When I was 11 years old, a schoolteacher asked me to write an essay called ‘What I Would Like To Do’. I said I wanted to be able to play tennis, win Wimbledon, make journeys all around the world, and dance on stage.

“Not everyone is lucky enough to see so many of their childhood dreams come true… so I hope that 11-year-old Annabel would look at me now and think that I’ve not done too badly!”
