Strictly Come Dancing professional Alexis Warr confirms she is returning to the UK in preparation for the BBC show’s 2026 series. Both reports say her move comes after a personal split from her childhood sweetheart, and that she is now making arrangements to be based in the country as preparations begin for the upcoming season. One outlet reports that preparations for the 2026 series are set to start, with Warr among the professionals expected to be involved as the show enters its run-up to the new cast and dance schedules. The other outlet similarly states that Warr is back in the UK ahead of the next run of Strictly and frames her return in connection with her relationship ending. Both sources present her relocation as linked to the start of production preparations, rather than as a change to her role on the programme. The reports do not provide further details about the nature of the split or any specific production timeline beyond indicating that work toward the 2026 series is underway.
