Overview
- After the Blackpool Tower Ballroom special, the Strictly judge posted a group photo with Paul Chuckle, Lewis Cope, and Pete and Sophie Sandiford, calling the siblings "perfect candidates for 2026."
- The remark came via Instagram as a personal view rather than a confirmed decision about next year’s line-up.
- Fans responded positively on social media, with comments urging producers to sign the Gogglebox pair.
- Pete and Sophie Sandiford are Blackpool-based siblings who have been regulars on Channel 4’s Gogglebox since 2017.
- Separately, La Voix withdrew with an injury following Blackpool, so there was no elimination and all scores carry to week 10 on Nov. 29 with six couples still in the competition.
