Dani Dyer is set to return to BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing after receiving a second chance following an injury that previously affected her participation. Manchester Evening News reports she is being welcomed back with support as she makes her return admission ahead of the 2026 series.
Both outlets link her return to missed time on the show: The Independent says Dyer does not take part in the 2025 series after suffering an injury before the competition begins. The Independent frames her response as gratitude for the opportunity to come back, while Manchester Evening News focuses more on public and fan backing as she prepares to rejoin the programme.
Overall, the coverage agrees that an injury delayed or prevented her from competing in the 2025 run and that she is now returning for the next series.
