Will is the co-host of ITV's Big Brother and the Hits Radio Breakfast Show.

Will Best says: "I can’t quite believe it…I’m doing Strictly! What an absolute dream. Albeit a pretty terrifying one. I’ve been lucky to do lots of live telly before, but absolutely nothing like this. And I cannot wait! I have no idea if I can actually dance, but bring on the sequins, bring on the quicksteps, bring on the dance floor! I’m going to try to enjoy every minute of it."

Will joins Lacey Turner, Dani Dyer, Delta Goodrem, Chris Appleton and Cach Mercer in the 2026 Strictly Come Dancing line-up. Further news will be revealed throughout the summer ahead of the brand-new series getting underway on Â鶹Éç One and Â鶹Éç iPlayer this September. Viewers can add the show to their watchlist on Â鶹Éç iPlayer now.
