\u201cI am a huge fan and can\u2019t quite believe I will be taking part and not watching at home this year! I look forward to meeting everyone and learning a new skill!<\/p>\n\n

Former Love Island<\/a> contestant Dani Dyer was part of the Strictly 2025 cast. However, her time on the show was just one week long before she was forced to withdraw due to an ankle fracture.<\/p>\n

Dyer, the 29-year-old daughter of actor Danny Dyer<\/a>, was originally partnered with Nikita Kuzmin, but it\u2019s unclear whether they\u2019ll be paired up this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited to be back in the ballroom this September!\u201d Dyer said of her second chance on Strictly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just cannot wait to get my dancing shoes back on and hopefully this time around I can actually make it to week one! I\u2019m just over the moon and cannot wait to find out who else is doing it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The 41-year-old has also been a judge on The Voice Australia; time will tell if adding dancing will make her a triple threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been incredibly honoured to perform on many different stages throughout my career \u2013 from TV, theatre, film sets, to touring my own shows around the world, there is however one stage I\u2019ve never stepped onto and that is the ballroom floor!\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
