Strictly 2026 : It’s Emma, Josh and JoJo

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

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

I'm mildly bored that any time La Voix is on a TV chat/magazine show, she makes a jokey comment about hosting it. Like, if she says it often enough, someone will bite

They’re announcing celebs already! Whaaaaaatttt!

Why are they announcing so early? Though Lacey Turner is quite a big name (in comparison with most of the people they’ve had in recent years)

That's wild! They usually don't start announcing celebs until August

It is early, I saw Lacey Turner be featured on Mr Strictlys YouTube channel but I don’t know if it’s an official announcement or simply someone getting ahead of themselves

Oh ok! I’ve seen the official announcement now! VERY EARLY!

I think there's been so many bad reactions to all the changes they have made that they're trying really hard to generate some excitement and good press...

Maybe it will be really slow announcements, 1-2 a week for a couple of months.

Stacey Slater is going to be great?

(wouldn't it be good if one year we had all soap actors but staying in character?!)

i think it’s a bit early but maybe there’s a reason for it 🤷‍♀️
I hope they’re not starting to series earlier!! I can’t accept strictly any earlier then September 🙈

I don’t watch EastEnders any more but it’s obviously a popular and long running programme so she’s a quality celeb. A good way to kick off SCD 2026.

Balvinder became my favourite last year and Rose a couple of years prior. EE women rock!

Oh sorry, posted on the other thread before seeing this link

Looking forward to seeing Lacey Turner 🥰

I saw CRH in Annie a couple of years ago as Miss H and he was completely brilliant. The whole production was fab!

I'd never heard of either Rose or Balvinder until Strictly (I don't watch Eastenders) and they were both great.

Dani Dyer now confirmed - I think most of us expected her to make a comeback after having to drop out last year.

I definitely thought Dani Dyer was a certainty for this year

Oh god that’s supposed to be an exclamation mark. It looks like I’m querying the greatness of Stacey Slater.

Try again…

Stacey Slater is going to be great!

She is!

Yes I know!

Hes definitely a showman, but he's always been very stilted when he dances - mot at all natural looking

Delta Goodrem has been announced.

Looking like a strong female cast so far.

I’ve actually heard of 3/3!

I’ve just seen the Delta Goodrem news as I was busy last night.

Odd that she is doing ours and not the Aussie one

Has anyone been announced today? I was thinking we were on a one-a-day roll!

I seen a couple of online articles saying number four is Sarah Storey but I can't see any official confirmation.
Are they going to announce all the women first then all the men?
