The Strictly Podcast

Strictly Come Dancing aired its first live show on Saturday night, with Emma, Josh, Jojo and a 15-couple-bonanza of quick steps, sambas, tangos and jives.

While the nation dissects the new presenter dynamics, Aimee and Ava are welcoming in the change to regular programming, sharing their thoughts on each new couple’s chemistry, potential for that all-important ‘J-word’ (journey!) and how they’ll fare with the public vote.

In Episode 3:

Series 23 of Strictly Come Dancing launched with an unholy amount of chaos, as this year’s couples were matched through a speed dating / musical chairs method of three dance routines. With Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe taking centre stage as the programme’s new hosts, Aimee and Ava dissect every move, miss-step and media trained answer...

🕺🏾 The five new professionals joining this year

We may be off-season, but we’re coming out of our summer retirement as we couldn't miss speaking about Off Campus.

There’s no other way to say it: Hannah Wells, Allie Hayes and Briar U’s star hockey players have taken over our lives, and it’s not possible to speak about anything else. 

In this spoiler-ridden Strictly special, we chat through a new era of men written by women, on-screen consent talk that shouldn’t feel revolutionary but does, green-flag friendships without unnecessary drama, and how Off Campus handles the trauma its protagonists are trying to process.

Of course, we’re also making room for Logan’s absurd hair, Hannah’s next-level stage presence and whether Yellow Haze is an underrated banger or better left alone.

There are some new kids in town, as the Strictly Come Dancing presenters for 2026 and beyond have been unveiled! 🪩
Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe will be taking to the ballroom floor this autumn as the new faces of the BBC primetime show, and Aimee and Ava share their first impressions of this unexpected (but possibly incredible) trio.
What form will the Clauditorium take? How will Emma and Josh respond to the fast pace of professionals and celebrities putting their all into their dances each week? How will Jojo transform into Elstree Studio's roving reporter? We have more questions than answers, but we're definitely getting excited for autumn!
