Strictly Come Dancing 2026

Lauren is also tall

Yes I think her and Nancy are only a couple of inches shorter than Luba and Nadiya.

Someone said upthread that it's bow as in a bow in your hair.

Joe said in his story it’s bow as in how

I feel Karen lost interest half way through dancing with Jayde Adams (who can blame her). Like she just gave up and so did her enthusiasm.

On the Jayde note, did her time on Strictly end up tanking her career? Seems she disappeared off the radar (and has run out of money to do her house up). She seemed to be on a rising trajectory at the point she joined the show.

 

[Scarlett O' Hara]

That is absolutely nauseating.

As much as we love or have disinterest in the pros the show has always not renewed contacts but I feel for the ones in that position that it is 'slapped all over' the media. I personally think some others should have gone over the ones that have but if the pros become the stars/ favourites with voters then celebs are maybe less likely to sign up if they aren't getting the 'starring role' they want.

The new update photo

And they moved nancy to the back, and jowita in front on them not

Mmmh I’m not convinced by the whole we were forced to announce thing. The announcement was so fucking cringe.

We discussed her being pregnant on here before her announcement so the press have probably picked it up here.

 

[Bonkersbear]

There is literally just a handful of pros that haven’t been mentioned at all I wonder if they will be drip fed to the press throughout the week

 

[Hyacinth Buket]

A lot of the pros still seemed to be friendly with him, he was at Michelle’s dance classes, was out at the Royal Albert Hall with Katya ( I think), and him and Kai were thick as thieves Jowita was seen at some strictly theatre dates, most recent was Vito and Diannes tour along with Arduino. There are photos of him backstage with Vito so he is still around the Strictly lot But if he was at the after party clearly he is still welcome as part of the ‘family’ . I have no idea why if the accusations are about him Also all this was before the ‘arrest’ of a strictly star. There was no interaction after that , that I can see by any of the pros. However he was still at the hotel so who knows what’s going on

Yes I did say he was also especially close to Katya and Kai and even Tasha.The problem for Jowita showing support for these men like ghost pasty and Pete Wicks is it gets her so much bad press,and they automatically link her to anyone romantically.They are both clearly in the press constantly for all the wrong reasons,and bad treatment of women,so I don’t think her constantly supporting them on her instagram helps her reputation and her job.Tasha and Katya seemed to distance themselves publicly from GP and Wynne as they should imo.

I understand her posting her friends we all do that but not when they’re In the press every week for disgusting behaviour.Katya tried to support Wynne and look what happened there.

The pro’s need to be more careful with their public profile as the show has had enough bad press and I think the BBC will get rid of anyone bringing negativity to the show.

This would be a deal breaker for me!!! Janette, God love her, isn't very good at tv presenting. Fleur, God love her, is better than Janette but I feel doesn't have enough personality to manage a major tv show like strictly.

Fleur, or style sense

 

[Chita]

Are Wynne and Jamie unemployed now?

 

[StephenTJackson]

Obviously each to their own and we all find different things and people sexy, but his old insta stuff always seemed more cringe and seedy, rather than sexy, to me

He just doesn't give off sexy vibes. It's either try hard cringey, or just he doesn't seem actually very comfortable with the whole thing.

And he looks old and haggard facially in some of his pics.

 

[itsxomyxolife]

I’m still confused what’s happening to neil and nancy?

this is what the nadiya article says about them
‘The Sun exclusively revealed the 36-year-old, as well as fellow pros Neil Jones, 43, and Nancy Xu, 34, were the latest casualties of radical changes to the line-up’

Like are they gone?? or different contracts or are they doing this so nancy doesn’t flip out again

Apparently they’re on a different “reduced” contract where they may still be involved in group dances and stuff but won’t have partners, so automatically benched basically

 

[Tanley]

Is someone saying Ghost Pasty and Jowita were a thing? Or am I misreading? I thought it was meant to be her and Pete??

 

[shoppingaddict123]

Is there there still a story around about a pro or pro’s and or has that disappeared?

Yeah I wondered about that too? Who were the ones involved did it ever come out?

 

[Restless Native]

Who is all officially confirmed gone?

Im struggling to keep up

 

[Bonkersbear]

Middle of August they film the pro dances don’t they? She had him mid March- 5 months no?

Apologies if I took the comparison the wrong way but I was kind of just replying to what you wrote.

I think they start pro rehearsals mid July for the group dances, so Bowie will be 4 months ish . But it’s days and no touring so plenty of time to spend with him And she’s very fit so I doubt her physical health is going to be a problem for her

 

[louseylou]

This years pros haven't been announced, have they? It seems a bit early, I thought they normally announce around May/ June?

Strictly pro dancer bloodbath CONTINUES with two major stars now at risk after Nadiya Bychkova axe

Karen and Katya being dumped would make more sense than most of those so far.

So they are getting rid of half the females now lowkey starting not to believe it

 

[happyhippo63]

The scum might not be lying for once. There’s a screenshot going round tiktok that michelle wasn’t following Strictly on instagram (Not sure if she did beforehand) However, she has just recently followed them again!
