‘Huge changes on the horizon’: Kevin Clifton tipped for shock Strictly comeback

With news of pro departures happening at Strictly Come Dancing ahead of the 2026 series, bookies are predicting Kevin Clifton could make a shock show comeback.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the likes of Gorka Marquez, Nadiya Bychkova and Karen Hauer will not be returning for the new series.

However, Karen’s ex-husband Kevin is now favourite to fill the gaps in the pro line-up, with bookies offering odds of 3/1 for Kevin to return to the show that made him a household name.
