Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton will reunite for the first time in ten years.

A decade on from their 2016 victory, the champions are back together for 10 - Joanne and Ore - Champions Reignited featuring songs, stories and dance from their careers.

The show, which will celebrate ten years of friendship and their careers, will open at Bournemouth Pavilion theatre on 17th August. It is scheduled to visit six further venues with additional dates to be announced.

Ore Oduba said: “Seriously how has it been ten years? I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate ten years of friendship. Joanne is simply my one-in-a-million, a decade ago she changed my life and ever since we lifted the trophy on that unforgettable night in 2016, we’ve performed in countless shows but never together.

“Until now. 10 - Champions Reignited is the show we’ve always wanted to bring to life - a spectacular unlike anything anyone will have seen before.”

Joanne Clifton added: “Ten years on, multiple musicals and plays later and finally we’re coming together again. I cannot wait. Using the words we said to each other ten years ago, let’s just go out there, have the most fun possible, and show everyone just what we can do!“
