Organised by Queenscourt Hospice, over £47,000 has already been raised, with members of the public still able to donate via the Strictly Queenscourt 2025 Just-Giving page.

The evening was sponsored by The Lloyd Group and Kingswood Homes

A packed audience in the glamorous Prince Of Wales ballroom was treated to sensational performances by 10 fundraising dancers along with their pro dancers.

They trained over several months under the watchful eyes of Kaz Leach and her team at Marshside School of Dance in Southport.

VIP guests included Deputy Lieutenant of Merseyside Lady Marina Dalglish MBE and Mayor of Sefton Cllr June Burns.

Crowned Strictly Queenscourt 2025 winners were 20-year-old property developer Adam Mackin and pro dancer Megan Hosker who wowed with their quick step to You're The One That I Want from Grease.

Adam impressed further by revealing he has only recently recovered from tearing anterior cruciate knee ligaments to take part, missing weeks of training.
