Strictly 2026 : It’s Emma, Josh and JoJo

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

First thread of the year! Let us reconvene here for further discussions

Johannes is enough reason to not watch this year.

Did anyone else feel that video on strictly instagram was very forced laughter?

Regarding Emma Willis. I watched her for years on Big Brother all the shows.
I still think that was her peak.
I think she might be better backstage

His voice is really annoying. I havent watched The Last Leg in ages. But just how he casually sat with his leg under annoyed me.

I never watched, but the very 1st IT Takes Two had a male comedian... Justin? Anyway I preferred him on other shows compared to Josh.
Its gone full circle

Thanks for the new thread. I'm glad the names have finally been confirmed after what feels like years of speculation. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how they do.

Was it Justin Lee Collins?

Yes it was Justin Lee Collins. He got Paul Killick to take Anton out for a makeover

He was disgraced not long after

Yes. 😃

Josh and Danny Dyer are distantly related - they both had similar outcomes on Who Do You Think You Are

It’s interesting seeing the comments from candidates who were in the running on instagram 😂

The BBC will have invested a lot of time in this process to get it right as Strictly is their flagship show. Everyone is comparing them to Tess and Claudia but the new trio will bring their new dynamic - which was overdue. You could say that back in 2004 Tess Daly was the unusual choice to be paired with Bruce Forsyth… but it worked!

Roll on September.

I hope that they have a set upgrade now!

I thought it would be Zoe and Rylan .
However , Emma is a good choice
It is a shame that Johannes will not be dancing though
I am looking forward to seeing how it goes .
Just hope that the BBC hire some decent pros.

I agree

The good thing about these three as a choice is that I will give them a chance. I was worried we’d get people to whom I would just be NOPE

Thanks for the thread.

I am looking forward to finding out who the celebs are now! 😆
