STRICTLY stars were kept awake on the last leg of their live tour by boy racers using streets around their hotel as a racetrack.

Police Scotland confirmed they were called to a report of cars racing in the Blythswood Square area of the city on Saturday.

“We are aware of issues relating to car racing in the area and officers carry out regular patrols. This kind of behaviour is dangerous and unacceptable.”
The Strictly live tour came to an end yesterday with two shows.
