Revelations: Songs Boys Don’t Sing will be released on October 18 via the Westway Music label, and is preceded by the release of Craig’s debut solo single, a dance floor update of Dame Shirley Bassey’s classic This Is My Life, which is out this week.

In support of his album, Craig will embark on a 53-date UK tour that begins in Hampshire on April 4 next year.

Craig is promising fans a “Fab-U-Lous” night of glamour, tall tales and big songs from his album, which features Don’t Rain On My Parade from Funny Girl, On My Own from Les Miserables and, amongst many others, Little Girls from Annie, a song that Craig has sung at Mayflower Theatre, playing Miss Hannigan.

Craig said, “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."

As the longest-serving judge on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, Craig has become the undisputed king of the glitter ball.

After starting his career as a dancer, Craig worked on some of the biggest musicals before becoming a successful choreographer, director and best-selling author.
