Symphony Ballroom!

Symphony Hall.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans got a fix of their favourite series when two of the stars took to the stage at Symphony Hall.

Anton du Beke and glamorous partner Erin Boag gave the audience a taste of their ballroom skills accompanied by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on Friday.

Despite a stage which looked barely big enough to swing a cat, let alone take on a tango, the pair elegantly avoided cellos and footlights to waltz and quick-step to classics by the likes of Gershwin and Glenn Miller.

Vocalist Matthew Ford added more glamour from a bygone era with renditions of old favourites.
