Strictly is officially back for 2026. And a lot has changed with new hosts, new pros and a new way of revealing the cast. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the BBC’s love for sitting on information for long periods of time after filming. But while the BBC might want you to wait a week and a half to learn the couples fortunately I am only too happy to share them with you. So here they are…..
Chris and Amy
Dani and Nikita
Will and Dianne
Graeme and Lauren
Sarah and Julian
Tabby and Mark or Carlos
Lawrence and Jowita
Bethany and Nancy
Cach and Maddie
Jaime and Christian or Carlos
Lacey and Vito
Delta and Kai (unconfirmed)
Melanie and Carlos or Aljaz
John and Katya (unconfirmed)
Shaun and Alexis (unconfirmed)

Let me know your thoughts about the pairings over on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Threads or BlueSky.! No prizes are on offer quite yet, but one of the biggest competitions I have ever run will kick off once the live shows properly begin. With Amazon vouchers and Strictly Spoiler Plus subscriptions up for grabs every single week, you won’t want to miss out. Plus, for the first time ever, the competition is open worldwide! Make sure you are following me across all networks, and please give the posts a like and a share to help get the word out.
Operating this website independently is incredibly expensive, with hosting bills easily exceeding £1000 per month during the main series. If you want to help cover these costs or just say thanks for the early results, you can do so using the donation button below or this link. Please only donate if you can comfortably afford to do so!
