In an unexpected turn of events, Vicky Pattison has inadvertently confirmed the first celebrity to grace the dance floor for Strictly Come Dancing 2026. It was a seemingly innocuous comment on Instagram that sent fans into a frenzy, igniting speculation and excitement.

The Accidental Revelation by Vicky Pattison

On a regular Sunday evening, Dani Dyer posted a congratulatory message to her dear friend Vicky Pattison following the live show. However, it was Vicky’s reply that caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans. “I will be front row every week next year watching you SMASH IT,” she wrote, implying that Dani is the first confirmed celebrity contestant for the next season.

Dani Dyer: Anticipated Comeback

Dani Dyer was originally slated to compete this year, but an unfortunate injury derailed her plans. She revealed after a mishap during rehearsal, she suffered a fractured ankle—a setback that led her to withdraw from the competition. The quickstep can be punishing, even for seasoned dancers. “Apparently doing the quickstep on a fracture is not advisable,” Dani admitted, humorously acknowledging the gravity of her injury.

The vacancy left by Dani was filled by Amber Davies, who stepped in at the last minute and quickly became a fan favorite. With Amber now a frontrunner in the competition, it seems that fate has dealt a kind hand to all involved. The speculation around Dani’s future participation has kept her many supporters eagerly anticipating her return to the dance floor.
