Graeme ‘The Dogfather’ Hall, known for his advice on dog care, has been revealed as the latest addition to the lineup of the popular show Strictly Come Dancing. The BBC show’s producers have confirmed that Graeme will be showcasing his dance moves in the upcoming season starting this September.

Expressing his excitement, Graeme mentioned, “Joining Strictly for 2026 is a dream come true. I’ve always had a passion for dancing, and learning from the best in the industry is an incredible opportunity. It’s both thrilling and nerve-wracking to be part of a show I’ve admired for so long. I’m eager to get started and take on this exciting challenge!”

Joining Graeme on the dance floor will be football icon Shaun Wright-Phillips, who shared his anticipation for the show despite it being outside his comfort zone. House of the Dragon star Bethany Antonia is also set to compete, expressing her disbelief and eagerness to learn a new skill through the dance competition.
