Strictly Come Dancing announces Olympian Tabby Stoecker as its 13th celebrity contestant for the 2026 series. Multiple outlets report that Stoecker, an Olympic gold medallist at the 2026 Winter Games, is set to compete on the BBC dance show.
The reports also situate her among other previously confirmed contestants, noting she will join a mix of public figures described as including an EastEnders icon, an ex-England player, and a hairdresser linked to Kim Kardashian. The Mirror additionally says Stoecker has recently joined the ITV sports entertainment show Gladiators. The Daily Mail emphasizes that some viewers are disappointed by what it describes as a weaker overall line-up, while others focus primarily on Stoecker’s addition to the cast.
