Actress Denise Welch appears to confirm ongoing talks to join the celebrity lineup for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. As speculation mounts about the 2026 contestant roster, Welch, known for her role on ITV's Loose Women, offered a cryptic response when questioned about her potential involvement. This comes as the BBC has announced a major hosting revamp for the iconic dance competition, introducing a new presenting trio of Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe, and Josh Widdicombe. The trio replaces Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who stepped down after a remarkable tenure. The new hosts expressed their excitement and honor at steering the show into its next chapter, with past Loose Women panelists often being recruited as participants. With her acting career remaining a priority, Welch's possible participation adds another layer of anticipation for the revamped series, set to premiere in September 2026.
