Ballando con le Stelle 2026 lineup changes

Entities: Milly Carlucci · Ballando con le Stelle · Rai Uno · Selvaggia Lucarelli · Fabio Canino

Overview

In late July 2026, Italian dance competition Ballando con le Stelle announced several upcoming alterations. Host Milly Carlucci confirmed a studio move and the exit of longtime judge Selvaggia Lucarelli. Veteran dancer Alessandra Tripoli disclosed a second pregnancy, casting doubt on her participation, while rumors surfaced that Noemi Bocchi might join as a surprise celebrity contestant.

A week later, additional speculation emerged about judge Fabio Canino potentially swapping his panel role for a competitor slot. The show’s lineup for its October launch remained fluid, with judges Carolyn Smith and Guillermo Mariotto confirmed and other seats possibly filled by former participants such as Ivan Zazzaroni or Rossella Erra. Rehearsals were slated for mid‑September, and final decisions were expected after those sessions.
