Next Strictly Come Dancing star’s name ‘leaked’ live on air in awkward mishap
Strictly Come Dancing is back for a new series, with three names already announced - but it looks like one more name has slipped out
Strictly Come Dancing is back soon for a new series
Strictly Come Dancing is back for a new series and there is much talk about who will be waltzing around the ballroom this winter.
Three celebrities have so far been revealed for the BBC Latin and ballroom show. Lacey Turner, Dani Dyer and Delta Goodrem are the first names to be confirmed – with more on their way.
During an appearance on The One Show, Emma Barton – who plays Honey on the BBC soap – was chatting with Alex Jones and Roman Kemp about the upcoming series after her own successful stint on it.

As Alex announced Lacey joining the show, she asked her co-star Emma: “Have you spoken to her? How is she feeling?” Emma then replied: “She’s such a gorgeous wonderful woman and the audience are going to love her. And I’m so proud of her because it’s nerve-racking, isn’t it. And it’s scary.”
Emma then went on to say: “Roman you know as well” but he quickly stuttered as he said: “I have never done it. I’ve never done it.” Could he be gearing up for the new series though after a successful stint on fellow BBC programme, Race Across The World?
Lacey, Dani and Delta will all take to the dancefloor this winter, with other names including cyclist Dame Sarah Storey also expected to be announced in the coming weeks before the show kicks off, usually in September.

Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey Slater on EastEnders, said: “I am so excited to being making my way to the dance floor this year to be a part of Strictly Come Dancing! I am a huge fan and can’t quite believe I will be taking part and not watching at home this year! I look forward to meeting everyone and learning a new skill!”
Dani Dyer – who was on the show last year but had to pull out due to injury – added: “I am so excited to be back in the ballroom this September! I just cannot wait to get my dancing shoes back on and hopefully this time around I can actually make it to week one! I’m just over the moon and cannot wait to find out who else is doing it!”
Singer songwriter Delta Goodrem shared: “I’ve been incredibly honoured to perform on many different stages throughout my career – from tv, theatre, film sets, to touring my own shows around the world, there is however one stage I’ve never stepped onto and that is the ballroom floor! I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining Strictly and can’t wait to get started!”
