Ruthie made a short appearance on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing last night. She was giving advice to one of the contestants who was dancing a Charleston to music from Chicago. Her advice clearly paid off because the celeb in question ended up top of the leader board scoring some 10s!! Well done Ruthie. You can catch it on the BBC iPlayer.

I am unable to view it on IPlayer, but I found this on Youtube. I think it may be the clip in question.

It looks as though Ruthie is going to have very little down time before embarking on her new Tour:
Special guests have been announced for a new show called That's Entertainment, which tours the UK from April.

Each venue of the tour will feature a guest alongside a cast of West End performers, these include Ruthie Henshall......

Ruthie Henshall will star alongside Cuba Gooding Jr in the forthcoming West End revival of Chicago.

Henshall will play Mama Morton, making her the only British actress to have played all three leading female roles in the show. She originated the role of Roxie Hart when the show opened in London’s West End in 1997, and later played Velma Kelly. She also performed in the show on Broadway.
