ABOUT FACE: Katherine Jenkins, left, and Darcey Bussell in rehearsals for the show

Darcey, 38, who retires from ballet next month after 18 years as a principal dancer, said: I don't want to give too much away but we will both be demonstrating talents never seen before.

The aspiration is to create an experience as electric and popular as Riverdance.'

Katherine, 26, who is the UK's No1-selling classical artist, said: Everyone is inspired by somebody else and we hope the people who have inspired us will inspire other people, too.

The touring show is likely to comprise a mixture of classical and modern works. Tickets go on sale next week.
