Strictly Come Dancing 2026: Dani Dyer Is Second Star On Line-Up
Last year, the former Love Island winner was due to compete on Strictly, even filming an appearance in the launch show, where she was paired up with Nikita Kuzmin.
On Thursday morning, it was confirmed by the BBC that Dani has signed up for this year’s run, becoming the second celebrity unveiled for the line-up.
She beamed: “I 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’m just over the moon and cannot wait to find out who else is doing it!”
Dani was one of two celebrities who had to withdraw from Strictly 2025 before the show had even started.
He said at the time: “With a heavy heart, I have to step back from this season of Strictly Come Dancing due to unexpected medical reasons.
“I was truly looking forward to the journey, and I’m deeply sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to seeing me on the dance floor. Thank you all for your support, and I will be back on my feet very soon, in every sense.”
