Strictly Confirms New Presenting Trio and September Relaunch

The hosts mark a refreshed chapter for the BBC show and have intensified unconfirmed guessing over which celebrities will compete this year.

Overview

  • Strictly Come Dancing has officially named Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe as its new presenting team and said the show will return with a refreshed look in September.
  • The programme’s celebrity line-up remains unconfirmed and current reporting relies on tabloid stories and social-media signals rather than signed contracts.
  • Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has posted about 'manifesting' a place on the show and filmed herself reacting when her name was mentioned on live TV, a development reported by tabloids.
  • Reports say Dani Dyer has been approached to return after last year’s ankle fracture but those accounts note she has not yet signed a contract and her participation is unverified.
  • The official host announcement resolves a major production change while the ongoing rumours demonstrate how social posts and unnamed sources are shaping public expectations ahead of a formal BBC casting reveal.
