Strictly Come Dancing 2026

. I think after recent events, although I love Rylan, I do not think they will take the chance on him saying the wrong thing at the wrong time again.

cmon Rylan has plenty of experience with being live and i'm sure he wont be talking about immigration in the Clauditorium. I didnt agree with what he said but it was during a conversation about that topic, not like he randomly came out with it.
I'm sure he is professional enough to stick to 'isnt your dress nice' 'heres the judges scores

And some pros were never as attached to the pairings they were in than they "Acted as though they Were". And some pros are better ACTORS than others. I don't think Hamza needs to feel upset though. He is growing into his role as a David Attenborough replacement and has a great career before him. As I am sure Ellie Leach does. Long after their partners return to the foreign parts they came from.

What a weird comment about foreigners. Have you joined Kai in Reform?
Both Ellie and Hamza are happy with their careers and loved their partners. If Hamza had feelings for Jowita that weren’t reciprocated that’s sad, and she certainly seems very focused on Pete, maybe because she has a thing for him (I don’t get it), but I don’t think she was ‘acting’ in that partnership which remains a lovely one.

 

[Geetbo]

Sorry lads I'm busy licking my own arsehole every one of those dates.

 

[Geetbo]

Let's all hope Dianne falls so deeply in love with motherhood that she never wants to dance again.

Karen's video was lovely. It gave me the feeling that, at least for her, it might have been a mutual decision.

 

[Boogs]

I’ve been convinced that Katya and Aimee are a couple for a long time. I agree that Aimee is annoying but Katya was married to Neil and snogged Seann Walsh so I think annoying may be her type.

 

[MrsDon1]

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

 

[Libbylulu]

Can’t believe I’m saying this but…. I hope Neil gets the ITT gig 🫣

 

[Tanley]

I hope this isn’t true.
Why axe Michelle when she has only had one partner on the main show?
And why axe Luba yet keep Nadiya? If they only have room for one tall female pro, why not get rid of the one who has already had the most chances?
And why keep Karen, who clearly can’t be bothered to teach a celeb to the best of their ability.
Only Gorka has good reasons to leave, as I assume he will be judging on Spanish Strictly again. And at least he has had a good run on the show, unlike Michelle and Luba

 

[GingerSnapped]

Awww I like that Jowita and Ross are fwends.

 

[Redline]

Gorka remains one of my favourite male pros, but he's been there over a decade, maybe he wants to spend time with his family

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

 

[raindropsroses]

Jowita did a good job with Ross last year I thought. The two of them got stitched up with two shit themed dances, but their Sunshine on Leith waltz was quite charming. Not danced well, but charming. He certainly tried his best, and Jowita’s choreo was nice.

 

[StephenTJackson]

I think after 14 years she was told she was being let go and allowed to save face by saying it was her decision.

Which for the pros who accept that this is always a risk of them being dropped, and behave in a graceful way, there is no harm in the BBC allowing it to be portrayed as mutual for everyone's pr benefit. The pros who whine on socials about being entitled and owed a job for life by the BBC deserve to be dropped and the rags make it very clear they were dropped.

Just a completely different attitude from Karen compared to others posting mysteriously on socials etc.

 

[Geetbo]

I want Julian to have a same sex partnership. With me. In my bedroom.

 

[Bonkersbear]

I think Nancy is a bit scary
I think Nadya is a beautiful dancer but boring to watch
I think Amy and Dianne are crazy and produce boring choreography
I think Alexis showcased herself and didn't let her Celeb reach their full potential

So if I were Producer all of them would be gone.

From the current male line up I would be saying bye bye to
Neil
Carlos
Vito
Neil
Neil and did I say Neil?

I think Carlos would be gone if he didn’t win last year

 

[Geetbo]

Is Dianne still pregnant!? Is she a fucking elephant or something?

 

[Fillyjonk]

I do not dislike Dianne or think she tortures anything. But I know what it feels like to have to go back to work through financial necessity. With difficulty obtaining affordable help. She is so lucky to be able to take time off. Even six months and come back next year. Does she want her child to call a nanny mamma

These are inside thoughts, Charlie.

And probably best left in the 1950s.

 

[raindropsroses]

Nadiya is a stunningly beautiful woman, and of course a great dancer, but I don’t feel like she’ll be a huge loss to the show.

 

[Boogs]

Luba and Johannes have both recently become British citizens so no returning for them!

 

[UnresolvedYin]

I love all three of Michelle, Jowita and Alexis - the latter, I love her attitude and I think she'll only improve with longevity. If anyone's run out of potential it's Amy! (I like her and she's been through hell but come on, she's so boring in terms of dancing and choreography).
