Strictly Come Dancing Signs Eurovision Star Delta Goodrem

Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed its third celebrity contestant for the 2026 series, and it is Australian icon Delta Goodrem, who recently competed in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The BBC had already announced Dani Dyer and EastEnders legend Lacey Turner as the first two stars to sign up. The former Love Island star is hoping for a second chance at the trophy after being forced to withdraw from last year's competition due to injury.

Delta, 41, finished fourth at the Eurovision Song Contest last month with her song Eclipse. Speaking about joining Strictly, she said: '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!'
