Strictly Come Dancing 2026

Karen is officially out

The video she posted is lovely

Very classy way to say goodbye, other pros please note!

Nadiya is staying in a £3k/night luxury resort atm according to the Daily Mail. I hope she hasn’t spent this years salary already

Mr Walker is probably treating her. He will 'bump into her' there later.

Nancy could go and I wouldn’t notice.

Gorka would sign up to Strictly San Marino rather than being with Gemma and the family.

He’d sign up for Strictly Middle East atm if it meant he didn’t have to go home

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

He won me over with his Escape to the Country episode.

When he was about to talk about how he met Chyna, I was thinking "be so for real dude, you slid into her DMs", and right then he said "I slid into her DMs" and I had to respect the honesty

 

[Geetbo]

I feel like Janette might end up presenting and Amy move to It Takes Two.

 

[Fillyjonk]

Well, that sucks. I really liked Luba and Michelle for being quieter, more introverted types.

 

[Redline]

It's finally hit me who Vito reminds me of. Alec Balwin's character, Parker, in Friends. The guy who thinks everything is amazing but in reality is just piss annoying

 

[Big Fat Sue]

Nadiya will be fine, she has her singing career

 

[Redline]

I know i've only just said it a few posts up, but if none of the judging panel get canned then what's the whole point of this refresh? The pros are seen nowhere near as much as the judges, yet they're culling because they want a fresh start and fresh faces. Shirley and Anton need to be replaced, they feel like too retro already and if I have to put up with Anton's "WHAM, and then you went over there and said 'how's your father?' and then over there and said 'I'll have a bit of that'" I will punch someone.

 

[louseylou]

I mean, he should probably wait until Karen says something herself before posting like this.

 

[Redline]

I imagine Gorka and Michelle will be announced next week, then the returning pros will be announced soon after (maybe an announcement about Neil and Nancy if that rumour is true)

I think everyone else is staying, surely it would have been leaked by now

Gorka will put his announcement off as long as possible so that Gemma doesn't find his location and ask him to come home

 

[Geetbo]

Sacking Janette is the best move they've made so far. I'm getting more optimistic about the new series.

 

[Fillyjonk]

Bowden? Jesus Christ, that’s awful.

Congrats to them though - now Dianne has two male children in the house.

 

[katz2022]

I’ll miss her, I really like her but it was time for her to go.

Verifying Device

This is The Sun article on it. If this is all true I kind of get why, they'd get rid of Gorka, especially after last year and him not actually being there. I'd feel for Luba and Michelle though, I don't feel like either one got a fair go with a partner.

same gorka had naturally come to the end of a good run (even he is a loss as one of the better male pros imo!) but luba and michelle never had a fair chance really! i would 10000% keep luba over nadiya as the “tall” female pro.

Social media clicks and follows shouldn’t be a deciding factor in the fate of the pros. Viewers vote for a good partnership, or a celebrity they already like, or a ‘journey’.
Very few people vote for the pro alone, regardless of their TikToks
Dianne and Amy have both had early exits before.
Vito couldn’t keep Ellie in the competition.
Nikita didn’t get far when paired with Sam.
Like many other viewers, I’m more interested in the quality of dancing and seeing a celeb develop and make progress.
Good partnerships, supportive teaching, proper routines.
That’s what Strictly should focus on.

I feel like Janette might end up presenting and Amy move to It Takes Two.

Dear God NO!!!

 

[Libbylulu]

I can’t understand why Michelle is getting the push. The one year she had a partner she did a great job. Far better than anything Amy, Nadiya and Nancy has produced. It’s sad she has such a one and only shit partner

 

[levitating]

Another year of Johannes & Carlos crying and Amy & Dianne
