CRAIG Revel Horwood will be showcasing his debut solo album in a 'Fab-U-Lous' show at St George's Hall.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge has announced he is to release a solo album this autumn, ahead of a 53-date UK tour.

The album - titled Revelations: Songs Boys Don’t Sing - follows Craig’s debut solo single, a dance floor update of Dame Shirley Bassey’s classic This Is My Life, which is out today (Monday, June 17). The album will be released on October 18 via the Westway Music Label.

Craig promising fans a night of glamour, tall tales and big songs from his album, which features the mighty show-stoppers Don’t Rain On My Parade from Funny Girl and On My Own from Les Miserables as well as Little Girls from Annie - a song that Craig has sung in many productions of the family show, playing Miss Hannigan.

As the longest-serving judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, Craig is king of the glitter ball and a national treasure.

After starting his career as a dancer, Craig worked on major musicals before becoming a successful choreographer, director and best-selling author. As a singer, he has performed in many musicals and shows across the UK.

Says Craig: “I am thrilled to announce the release of my debut album! It's a momentous occasion for me, and I can't wait to share the songs I've carefully chosen.

"Throughout my musical journey, I've had the privilege of performing as both a dancer and a singer in numerous musicals. However, this album holds a special place in my heart as I've had the opportunity to select songs that truly resonate with me.

“Each track on the album is traditionally associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge. I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation.

"The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp. I've poured my heart and soul into every note, hoping that you will love each and every song.

“Thank you for joining me on this incredible musical journey. I can't wait for you to experience the magic of my album!”
