There’s also been a major shake-up with the professional dancers following the exit of some fan-favourites and the announcement that new additions are on the way.

“I 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<\/div>\n

\n

Love Island star Dani Dyer will be making her way onto the ballroom later on this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

BBC<\/a> fans would’ve seen her in last year’s line-up as part of the 2025 cast, but she had to withdraw due to an injury before the competition began.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Detailing her return, she said: \u201cI am so excited to be back in the ballroom this September! I 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!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Singer Delta Goodrem recently represented Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest, where she achieved one of the country’s best-ever results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Delta commented: “I’ve been incredibly honoured to perform on many different stages throughout my career – from TV, theatre, film sets, to touring my own shows around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“There is, however, one stage I’ve never stepped onto, and that is the ballroom floor! I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining Strictly and can’t wait to get started!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
