Ballando con le Stelle 2026: juror rumors and Aurora Ramazzotti prospect

Rai 1’s dance‑competition "Ballando con le Stelle" is preparing its 2026 edition, after juror Selvaggia Lucarelli left to host "Isola dei Famosi". Production is evaluating replacements; names floated include former MP Alessandra Mussolini, who told Radio Radio the likelihood of joining the panel is "highly improbable", and comedian Geppi Cucciari, whose schedule may clash with the show.

Separate speculation surrounds the contestant roster. Influencer Aurora Ramazzotti, daughter of Michelle Hunziker and Eros Ramazzotti, has been linked to the show after a widely shared dance at her wedding in Sicily. Weekly magazine *Chi* reported that Milly Carlucci’s team has already contacted her and that she has expressed interest, though no final decision has been announced. The programme is slated to return on Saturday 3 October.

Overall, the casting process remains open, with the final jury and contestant line‑up to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
