Strictly Come Dancing is beginning to reveal its celebrity line-up for the 2026 series, with actress Jaime Winstone announced as the latest contestant. The long-running BBC entertainment show is set to return in September, with more names expected to be confirmed ahead of the launch.
Early details suggest the new season will feature a refreshed version of the format as the programme heads back to BBC One and iPlayer. The initial roll-out of celebrity announcements is already drawing attention, especially with a Tomb Raider star also said to be among the confirmed participants so far.
Winstone’s addition gives the upcoming series another recognisable acting name as the cast starts to take shape. As with previous years, interest is likely to build steadily as viewers wait to see which stars from television, film and wider popular culture will join the ballroom competition.
With the 2026 return now on the horizon, the focus is firmly on the evolving line-up and how the revamped show will be presented when it arrives in September. More cast announcements are expected as the BBC continues to unveil the celebrities taking part.
