Poland's 'Dancing with the Stars' eyes Julia Wieniawa as judge and Joanna Jędrzejczyk as contestant

Ahead of the new season of Polsat's "Dancing with the Stars" (Polish: "Taniec z gwiazdami"), social‑media users have been speculating about possible changes to the judging panel. Host Krzysztof Ibisz said Julia Wieniawa – actress, singer and former finalist – would make a good judge, noting, "She has great energy and knows the programme well, having endured the three‑month schedule and live shows."

Polsat has also confirmed that former UFC champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk will join the show as a contestant. The 38‑year‑old, a two‑time UFC straw‑weight champion and the first Polish fighter to sign with the organization, will trade the octagon for the dance floor. A statement from the broadcaster praised her "strength, determination and character" and announced her upcoming debut on the programme.
