Stephen Libby Reportedly in Talks to Join Strictly Come Dancing

Unconfirmed reports say his rising public profile with agency representation has prompted casting teams to meet him, potentially positioning him for this year or for 2027.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Sunday that unnamed sources say Libby has met with Strictly's casting team, though no official offer has been confirmed.
  • The BBC declined to comment when approached and Libby's representatives have not publicly confirmed any deal.
  • Since co-winning The Traitors UK earlier this year Libby quit his cyber security job, signed with United Agents and taken on TV work including This Morning segments and red‑carpet hosting in Los Angeles.
  • The BBC has already announced several confirmed Strictly contestants for the upcoming season, and sources say Libby could be considered for this year or targeted for the 2027 cast if not chosen.
