Dani Dyer, Alex Kingston and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have all joined the Strictly Come Dancing line-up.
Dani Dyer will be competing in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing
The trio’s participation in the new series of the BBC’s Saturday night staple was revealed during Monday’s (11.08.25) episode of The One Show and they join Olympic sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey – also known as Nitro from Gladiators – in taking to the dance floor.
Dani, who has teamed up with her actor dad Danny Dyer on a number of projects, rose to fame after winning Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018 – but the couple split later that year and she went on to marry West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen in May.
The 29-year-old star said: “Getting the opportunity to be on Strictly is the second most amazing thing I’ve done this year. I feel very blessed and cannot wait to get my dancing shoes on.”
Meanwhile, Alex has appeared on TV shows such as ER and Doctor Who – playing the roles of Dr. Elizabeth Corday and River Song respectively – and has also featured on stage as Lady Macbeth opposite Sir Kenneth Branagh and as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Hasselbaink scored 127 Premier League goals during a prolific career at clubs such as Leeds United and Chelsea and also won 23 caps for the Dutch national team.
