Strictly 2026

[straightorbroken]

Exciting. I always look to this as the best I can think of for a DWTS performance:

 

[rhythmbandit]

A few months early with the reveals. Only 3 months to go!

Exciting. I always look to this as the best I can think of for a DWTS performance:

This is all very well but you can barely see what they're doing!

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh please. If it was Kylie you'd be in an ambulance.

A few months early with the reveals. Only 3 months to go!

Things usually follows such a pattern with Strictly but they seem to be doing everything differently this year. I wonder if they will be drip feeding the reveals rather than knocking them out in quick succession, seeing as they've started so early.

Good first signing anyway.

 

[Eddie]

Oh please. If it was Kylie you'd be in an ambulance.

She wouldn't be dancing

Again it might just be me but I think it's important to be able to OBSERVE the dancing.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Vile.

 

[lolly]

That's only very marginally different, isn't it?

 

[Shoat]

It's a brave move to reveal so early given how many drop-outs they had last year

 

[straightorbroken]

To reveal a barely changed logo?

 

[FetchFugly]

The logo has changed over the years but this one has maxed out on gaudy.

 

[straightorbroken]

Stand corrected. A quick jaunt to logopedia shows them all. A small selection:

This.

 

[lolly]

Honestly, I'd just watch ITV if I wanted THAT level of TAWDRY

It's giving Dancing On Ice realness.

 

[Music]

The calibre of celebrities they'll get for Strictly is going to look positively Z list when you compare to The Traitors!

 

[FetchFugly]

The Traitors is in a category of one when it comes to celebrity 'reality' though.

I think they will want to secure a strong line up this year and they have shown some intent starting with Lacey. She's an EastEnders legend and above the usual level of soap actor they usually get (no offence Balvinder Sopal). You would have thought she's been asked plenty of times over the years and hasn't done the reality rounds, as far as I am aware.

[Music]

I think Dani will do very well if she's any good.

 

[straightorbroken]

A drip feed of people I don't have any interest in. Oh BBC you're spoiling me. Just do it in one big camp reveal show and it might even be a fun watch.

Yeah. I'm not sure this is the big name they think it is.

 

[FetchFugly]

Dani Dyer was a given to return this year.

Seems it is full steam ahead with the reveals anyway.

 

[lolly]

 

[straightorbroken]

Jesus. What a comeback arc she's on.

 

[FetchFugly]

Well, well, well. I really didn't see it happening this year, but she must have an eye on raising her profile over here. Looking forward to seeing how she fares.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Good promo for the album in November

 

[Mark R 3]

Yeah Delta is a good signing.

 

[lolly]

Have the BBC just forgotten that they started the reveals?

 

[hyperwoof]

Have the BBC just forgotten that they started the reveals?

I was wondering the same thing. All a bit disjointed.

 

[lolly]

Have the BBC just forgotten that they started the reveals?

Oh



OH

 

[straightorbroken]

Next!

 

[Ellie]

A hairdresser??

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh indeed. Vaguely aware of his existence in that I knew Lukas Gage had a husband (briefly).

I'm getting MESSY GAY so I guess there could be some entertainment potential.

 

[Doris]

A hairdresser??

A world renowned conceptual hair stylist, if you please...according to Google.

 

[lolly]

My hair is very much a concept, so I guess I should support him.

 

[Ellie]

A world renowned conceptual hair stylist, if you please...according to Google.

So world renowned, he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Get Eric West instead.

 

[FetchFugly]

Over 4 million followers on Instagram though, more than the other three announced so far for what that is worth. The 'celebrity' world is different now I guess and they are continuing to cast accordingly.

 

[FetchFugly]

Sorry Drew, my initial impression is UNBEARABLE

 

[straightorbroken]

Really not pleased he made the cut.

No no no
