BBC dance show Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed its next three celebrity contestants for 2025 – Dani Dyer, Alex Kingston and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
It was announced on The One Show tonight (August 11) that the trio would be competing in the BBC ballroom this year. But not before viewers were teased with a series of clues given by the show’s newest pro dancers, Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon.
They join Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeete, who originally took part in the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Christmas special.

Strictly Come Dancing 2025: Dani Dyer
Dani Dyer – the daughter of EastEnders legend Danny Dyer – shot to fame on the 2018 series of Love Island. However, her star status lasted a lot longer than her romance with series boyfriend Jack Fincham.
They split less than a year after leaving the ITV2 villa. And Dani, 29, married West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen – father of her twins Summer and Star – earlier this year.
She’s also mum to son Santi, with ex Sammy Kimmence.
“It’s been so hard keeping it secret,” she told The One Show hosts, before revealing that her famous dad can’t wait to see her on the dance floor. “They’re so excited. It’s such a fun magical show.”
She also said: “To be asked to do it was just such an honour.”
