Strictly Come Dancing reveals first look at hosts Emma, Johannes and Josh with the judges for 2026

Strictly Come Dancing has shared a first look at hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe alongside the judges.

Joining the line-up this year are a whole new bunch of celebrities, including the likes of EastEnders' Lacey Turner, footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips, Love Island's Dani Dyer and Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb.

But they aren't the only newbies to the dancefloor this year, as Willis, Widdicombe and Radebe are the brand-new hosts, replacing Claudia Winkelman and Tess Daly. Now, a first-look image shows the new hosts alongside the judges.

Returning to the judging panel are Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas, who will be giving out those all-important scores.

With new hosts and a series of switch-ups, Strictly fans won't know what to expect when the show returns to our TV screens on Saturday (19 September).

However, Radebe says the twists and turns are all part of what makes Strictly great. He told Digital Spy and other media, "Strictly is never the same. I feel like every year we have twists and turns, and surprises, and I think this year more than ever - you know, it does become monotonous when we just do the same thing…"

Meanwhile, Willis added: "The heart of Strictly will always be the same, but you can't be on air for over two decades and never change anything…"

Not only is the main show returning soon, but the BBC also announced that another spin-off is in the works.

Titled Strictly Pro Dance-Off, the show will be airing on CBBC and will be live just like Strictly, as well as provide some "behind-the-scenes fun" to connect with the new and old dancers.

Former Strictly winner Dianne Buswell will appear as the lead pro on the first episode.

Strictly Come Dancing returns this Saturday (19 September) to BBC One and iPlayer.
