The Strictly Podcast

We may be off-season, but we’re coming out of our summer retirement as we couldn't miss speaking about Off Campus.

There’s no other way to say it: Hannah Wells, Allie Hayes and Briar U’s star hockey players have taken over our lives, and it’s not possible to speak about anything else. 

In this spoiler-ridden Strictly special, we chat through a new era of men written by women, on-screen consent talk that shouldn’t feel revolutionary but does, green-flag friendships without unnecessary drama, and how Off Campus handles the trauma its protagonists are trying to process.

Of course, we’re also making room for Logan’s absurd hair, Hannah’s next-level stage presence and whether Yellow Haze is an underrated banger or better left alone.

There are some new kids in town, as the Strictly Come Dancing presenters for 2026 and beyond have been unveiled! 🪩
Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe will be taking to the ballroom floor this autumn as the new faces of the BBC primetime show, and Aimee and Ava share their first impressions of this unexpected (but possibly incredible) trio.
What form will the Clauditorium take? How will Emma and Josh respond to the fast pace of professionals and celebrities putting their all into their dances each week? How will Jojo transform into Elstree Studio's roving reporter? We have more questions than answers, but we're definitely getting excited for autumn!

At long last, the final vows (vowels?!) arrive, and the producers go all-out on a show-stopper of a finale… well, at least for Stella and Filip. 

Our tenth episode covers eps 37-39 of series 13 of MAFSAU. Aimee and Ava debrief on some truly rollercoaster final vowels, our favourite moments from the series (the other F word will outlive us all) and our final Dannyisms to end our time in Sydney 🇦🇺 Fish bowls of white wine, relentless mentions of men going to war and more cat fights than we needed to see in a lifetime... 2026, over and out!

‘It’s just white wine sloshing around and mini sliders not getting eaten!’ 🍔

The ‘Is Grass Is Greener?’ challenge brought out the good, the bad and the ugly in our couples this week. While John attests to its use as ‘testing couples’ boundaries’, we know the real reason we loved this week: utter chaos. 

Our ninth episode covers eps 33-36 of series 13 of MAFSAU. Aimee and Ava reflect on the truce of the century from Gia and Bec, sealed with a savvy b in a pub garden at 8am. Meanwhile wedding rings were flying left and right in the hallowed MAFSAU halls, lifts were operating at absurd speeds and we have more Dannyisms than anyone will ever want or wish for.

Something wicked this way comes... as the contestants for Season 2 of Celebrity Traitors are announced!

Aimee and Ava gather their thoughts on the scheming, back-stabbing and treachery set to take place in Ardross Castle this year, as yet more celebrities descend on the Highlands 🏰 We predict who could be a break-out faithful or a double-crossing traitor, and who we can't wait to see attempt murders in plain sight.
