🪩🪩 7th Celebrity revealed Dame Sarah Storey

“Dame Sarah Storey’s nineteen Paralympic gold medals make her the most successful British Paralympian of all time. Storey started her career as a swimmer and competed at four Paralympic Games before switching to cycling, winning an incredible total of 30 Paralympic medals across nine Games, including four golds at London 2012.

One of the most powerful voices in Paralympic sport, Dame Sarah recently announced her retirement and is now ready for her next challenge - Strictly Come Dancing!

Sarah will be the first Dame to compete in the show.

Dame Sarah Storey says: “Embarking on a new challenge so soon after stepping down as an athlete is hugely exciting. I have always loved watching Strictly and my daughter Louisa is a very talented dancer, so to be able to learn from the best and hopefully understand even more about her world, is incredibly motivating! I can’t wait to get started!"

Dame Sarah joins Lacey Turner, Dani Dyer, Delta Goodrem, Chris Appleton, Cach Mercer and Will Best in the 2026 Strictly Come Dancing line-up.”
