Hi everyone!
You'll be pleased to know that I'm now well-and-truly rested after the live tour, having had several lovely short breaks away - one of which being the fabulous wedding of Camilla and Kevin in glorious Ibiza. Did you all see the pictures in Hello! magazine?… Didn't we all look lovely!
My holidays have done me the world of good, and boy did I need it after five months of solid touring. I have been snapping away on my phone and some great pics of both the tour and my holidays, I will be updating my Gallery with them very soon, keep your eyes peeled!
You will also be glad to know that I’ve put some weight back on too. So I’m no longer a light-Waite! Haha!
It's quite strange not preparing myself to take on the wonderful task of training a celebrity, but this is my seventh year and there is probably no better time to take a breather, have fun performing the show-dances and come back next year refreshed and raring to go!
I’m sure you all agree 'Strictly' is looking great so far: the new set is awesome - it's so spacious, I can’t believe it fits into TVC Studio 1. The 'new look' show has surpassed all my expectations and can't wait for it it get started, and this year I can truly get to enjoy it from both sides of the camera!
The show dances this year are set to be just that: 'Show-stoppers'! We have been rehearsing really hard and can't wait for you all to see them, I'll give you all a special smile! Here's a list of the shows in which I'll be appearing (they're subject to change and more may be added) - make sure you tune in!
- Sunday 10th October
- Sunday 31st October
- Sunday 7th November
- Sunday 14th November
- Sunday 5th December
Thank you all once again for your continued support and for following all my moves on twitter. I will endeavour to keep you updated with all my events, Strictly news and lots more besides here on Planet Waite!
Lots of love,
Ian

Good to have you back, well rested and fattened up, and obviously raring to go. Thanks for the blog and the dates, which are already implanted in my brain. Looking forward to seeing you in the shows and, hopefully, on ITT. Thank you so much for your friendliness each time we have met at the pro and celeb tours and in Reading.
Those dates are marked and as the rest hoping for some fun and laughter on ITT!!
Have a great SCD season, keep us posted. Oh btw have tweeted you already but I am going to see Hurts in Paradiso in Amsterdam. Will let you know how it was. It's on the 10th of October.
